Meanwhile AMI Express GX rates for shipments over 10 kilos to New York and all other USA destinations, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, central America and South America, are also being slashed. The company has started publishing rates to Cuba and the Falklands for the first time, to complete its regional coverage.

We are giving our customers an extra incentive to put all their traffic – both lightweight and heavyweight shipments – into our system. We are publishing rates for heavier shipments to make it easier for our customers to give instant quotes and win traffic.

“We believe strongly in the quality of the services we are offering to the Americas, and he addition of even more competitive rates, will provide our customers with an unbeatable product to offer in the market.”
