When you start getting involved with shipping over longer distances, or when you start needing to make cross country deliveries in less time, you are going to start having to look at your available air delivery options. Usually, a good distribution logistics company is going to have several different types of air delivery services for you to choose from. What is going to make it difficult, though, is figuring out which one is for you if you're new to using air courier services.
Of all the available types of air shipping, NFO is going to be the fastest. Air couriers work the same as ground couriers in that, most of the time, the higher the price that a shipping option is, the faster the delivery is going to be completed, so be prepared for NFO to cost slightly more than other air methods of shipping. The upside to this type of service though, is that you can make deliveries to clients all the way on the other side of the planet in a minimum of time.
NFO actually stands for next flight out. This means exactly what it sounds like. When you place an NFO order with your courier, they are going to make sure that they get your package on the very next plane which is going to take your package where it needs to go. They do this by sending a vehicle to your location as soon as the call comes in, like an emergency courier service, then getting it to the airport immediately.
The best NFO couriers out there do a few things which help them to provide even better shipping times than their competition. One thing that can be done is unique to the large metropolitan centers which have more than one airport accessible by ground. In these cases, an NFO courier can dispatch a vehicle to make the pickup, and look at all the available options leaving from all available airports, often helping to find you an even quicker NFO time than you might get from a courier that only flies out of one airport.
If you're trying to expand to a more global client base, then you should have an account with an NFO courier. Having the flexibility to send out a package on a moment's notice that can arrive in the shortest possible time is something that you clients will appreciate greatly if they ever get in a pinch and need a delivery made as quick as possible.
