LIAT Reintroduces Barrel Special

LIAT Reintroduces Barrel SpecialAntigua St John's - LIAT Cargo has reintroduced its Barrel Special from San Juan in time for the expected high volume of customers who head to Puerto Rico to shop during the summer.

Director of Cargo and Quikpak Wilbur Edwards said the response to the Barrel Special, which was first introduced in December 2011, was very good and with LIAT’s increased passenger services to San Juan this summer, the decision was taken to bring it back.

“We have decided to bring back the special on barrels to satisfy customers throughout the LIAT network who traditionally head to San Juan to shop at this time of the year for back to school and other supplies,” Mr. Edwards said.

“Customers can pack a barrel up to 200 pounds and pay only US$100 on the freight charge.



“In addition to persons shopping for their homes we want to invite the business community to make use of our service to ship car parts, food stuff, clothing, and even moderately sized building materials,” Mr. Edwards added.

Meanwhile, in order to meet the needs of its customers, LIAT Cargo has forged strategic relationships with the following:
 
A well-established Cargo Handling Agent – GMD Airline Services, Cargo Terminal, Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. Telephone: 1-787-791-5211.

A General Sales Agent - JAM Cargo Sales. Telephone: 1-787-451-7836.

A local Forwarder, Keith Baird, whom shoppers can call to have their shipments picked up and delivered to the cargo handler at the airport. Telephone: 787-409-4725

The Barrel Special which is now in effect will run until further notice.

The last time I went to San Juan in 2008 I paid US$60 to ship a barrel. It is customary for the price of air freight to be more expensive than sea freight because the cargo arrives quicker. You cannot compare a barrel you shipped by boat with something being shipped via air freight. I think that is a very good price being offered by Liat.

Give Liat a break, at least they are doing something to increase revenue and maybe they can eventually loose the noose around taxpayers' necks.
