Shipping from USA to Mumbai (Part 7)

Pick-up from Harrisburg

On grilling Nina on the phone she disclosed that their Company had tied with another company called ILS (International Logistics Services) and ILS will be physically moving the goods and not Nina’s Company Unipack. I didn’t mind but the more layers that get added, the more the complications. I had come across the ILS website http://www.ilogistics.com/ earlier and could have gone directly to them.

On the appointed day a local logistics company sent a truck to pick the boxes. As is the usual practice in USA for such things like Cable Connection / Repairs people, Nina gave me a time from 8am to 4pm and arrived only after 3 pm :-). The driver did not know anything about ILS or Unipack and was from a third Company. He was a old man and a friend of mine and I ended up loading all 10 boxes on the truck. The driver pushed those 10 boxes and arranged them in the truck. He told me that the boxes would go his Company’s warehouse in Harrisburg and from there to another warehouse in York before being moved to New York to ILS’s warehouse. They would then be moved a couple of weeks later from that ILS warehouse to JFK for sending it by air. I later learnt that the boxes were delayed in Europe and may have been in a warehouse there as well before finally being dispatched to Mumbai.
