-- President CC Girl
Hi Jeremy,
I am still thrilled every day with the KDS systems. My shipping is 100%! I stock for a replenishment business as well as fashion in the girl’s underwear area and ship to all major and many small independent stores and many websites as well as Target and WalMart. All require different processing and KDS is state-of-the-art.
My favorite tool is “real time” information that I can retrieve while on the phone with a client. I can see immediately exactly where my orders are, not to mention having a wonderful customer service department and great EDI and Traffic departments should I ever need them. KDS has made it possible for me to increase my business in an otherwise difficult economy, our customers are very happy with our shipping and service as well as our retail performance. We beat out all competitors by having goods on the floor shipped correctly! Equally as important is the fact that we have experienced no charge backs due to shipping errors or notification errors.
You can see our product at Nordstrom in the girls’ area and you can see our product on Herroom.com, Macys.com, Target.com (under CCG) and many others. When you are anywhere other than the West Coast, you can see our product in Dillard’s, Macy’s, Bon Ton, Shopko and many independent stores. We just “set up” business for 138 stores with Shopko and our pegs are full due to shipping correctly while competitors are only half stocked due to their poor shipping.
On this all store order we were 6pcs short; we were just sold out of that fashion style and notified our buyer ahead of time. We have added 1,500 new “doors” to our business thanks to Komar and KDS systems since November of 2008!
Rgds,

Long Beach Port Cargo Volume Increases in December
January 13th, 2010
According to a report in the Los Angeles Time by Ronald White, there may be some positive signs ahead for International shippers, third party logistics and distribution warehouse companies in 2010.
America’s largest ports, including the Port at Long Beach California appears to be poised for a strong recovery. Cargo volume at ports on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts were higher in December than a year earlier, the first such gain in 28 months, according to the National Retail Federation.
Komar Distribution concurs with that data as KDS witnessed an increase in retail goods shipments from their manufacturing partners overseas. KDS saw a spike in retail goods pass through their California Distribution Warehousing facilities in December and the trend continues into the New Year. One area that showed great promise was in retail apparel where KDS is a specialist in Apparel Warehouse services to America’s largest retail chains.
Economists who track volume at the nation’s busiest ports each month called the new report the strongest sign yet that the bottom-dwelling days are over. From channel checks with Komar Distribution Services (KDS) clientele, the future shipment and distribution pipeline looks to be on a rebound.
According to the Los Angeles Times article:
“It’s the first strong sign that a recovery is finally underway, and it’s being driven mostly by retailers restocking their inventories and by the impact of the economic stimulus package,” said Ben Hackett, founder of Hackett Associates, a business consulting firm that tracks seaport, railroad and trucking industry volumes for some of the nation’s biggest retailers.
Hackett predicted that monthly imports would remain above last year’s levels for at least the first half of 2010.
Hackett said the strongest gains in volume would be on the West Coast. That’s particularly important because international trade provides so many of the region’s jobs. The company tracked activity at ports in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma on the West Coast; New York/New Jersey, Virginia, Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., on the East Coast; and Houston on the Gulf Coast. In 2009, a total of 12.7 million containers came into those ports, the lowest figures since 2003 and a decline of 17% from the 15.2 million in import containers in 2008. But there was a slight uptick of 1.7% in December from a year earlier.
At L.A. and Long Beach, the improvement will be most obvious in February, the report said, when about 496,000 containers are expected to come into the twin ports, which would be an increase of 40% from February 2009, the ports’ worst month of the recession.
The report said that Los Angeles and Long Beach should see growth of about 3%, or about 3.3 million containers, through June, compared with the first half of 2009.
Local port directors have been looking for just such an indication for several months. L.A. and Long Beach are the two busiest container ports in the U.S., followed by New York/New Jersey and Savannah.
