For metalcasters, shipping freight is nothing but an expense that subtracts from the bottom line. To help, AFS has joined forces with Logistics Management Inc. (LMI) and developed the Shipping Solutions program for AFS Corporate Members.

Benefits of AFS Shipping Solutions:

• shipping savings of up to 50% for freight
• free, instantaneous web-based freight quotes
• no contract
• the ability to compare quotes with multiple carriers
• shipping quotes are immediately locked-in (January-December)
• freight bill auditing
• shipping services available to the continental United States, as well as to and from Canada and Mexico

How are these savings possible? Using the purchasing power of more than 2,500 manufacturers and distributors, LMI has the buying power to keep your shipping rates minimal. In addition, your metalcasting facility can reduce its clerical and accounts payable expenses through an automated, web-based process.

Any company can request a quote, however you must be an AFS Corporate Member to take advantage of the savings. For more information regarding the AFS Shipping Solutions program, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
