Permeable Wrap for Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipments to Australia


We wish to inform you that all shipments undergoing fumigation, including BMSB treatment, cannot be wrapped in standard plastic shrink wrap. Goods must be packed in permeable wrap including web wrap and/or plastic that has sufficient holes to allow the fumigant to penetrate.

LCL shipments to Australia must meet this packing requirement.

Beard for Buck$ - A campaign to help raise money for charity, that will help the homeless in Hawaii. So far we have earmarked over $17,000 for charity, including a donation from a customer for $25.00 a container for their 100 plus container project. We estimate 6 more months until the completion of our new warehouse! You can see monthly updates regarding the current length of the beard, as we progress.

We hope that you join us in this fun, yet charitable cause. #beardforbucks#honolulu#hawaii

Just so you know, for a single donation of $10,000, Brad Dechter, the President of DHX-Dependable Hawaiian Express, and DGX (Dependable Global Express) is willing to dye his beard purple, one of the official colors of Dependable Supply Chain Services, for a month!

For $25,000 he will dye the beard and his hair, too! It’s all for a great cause, folks!
