Hi All, How time flies, already we are into February, and the annual New Year is already over a month old. We also hope you all had a good Chinese New Year the year of the Tiger.

We would like to make the year of the Tiger an important year by increasing ASA’s worldwide network cover and we would like to ask for your help by nominating some new members in the following Cities/countries as we want to specifically improve our worldwide coverage in the following areas.

1. Afghanistan   2. Moscow- Russia, 3. Ukraine,  4. Kazakhstan, 5.  Turkmenistan.       6. Uzbekistan. 7. Barcelona, Madrid-Spain.

8. Bahrain. 9.  Muscat-Oman. 10 Algeria. 11  Senegal. 12. Ivory Coast. 13. Lagos-Nigeria. 14 Uganda

14. Dalian, China. 15 Cambodia. 16, Vancouver- Canada, 17. Costa Rica. 18 Panama.  19 Colombia. 20 Chile.

16. Any of the west Indies,  and Cuba.

This would make a huge difference to our numbers and much better coverage for our members, of course there are other countries also missing this is just a few to give you an idea. Please try hard to introduce at least one new agent in any of these areas.

Don’t forget you will receive a reward of E 200 for each new member you introduce and joins ASA .

Many thanks

Despite terminating Atlas Logistics ASA membership in 2021 for deliberate and constant payment delays to other ASA members, we have had a few instances where Atlas are still contacting ASA members requesting help in handling their shipments. Please ignore these requests as you will undoubtedly end up with long payment delays.

This agent has had its membership also cancelled by Win Logistics network for the very same reasons of very poor payment moral.

Thank you for your attention

Dear ASA Members, recently ASA Management have spent a great deal of time helping members to recover overdue monies from Atlas Logistics Bangladesh, fortunately Atlas have been paying these very long overdue debts, all be it very slowly.

During this exercise of helping collect debts for our members, we were amazed to see that one member had advanced credit of over USD 20,000 in one month. Now I don’t know what due diligence they use in setting their credit limits but that’s awfully high to my mind for a first time transaction.

Now ASA do not want to be setting credit limits for its members

When setting credit limits you should continue to make your own credit checks, but we would suggest that you contact me on transactions of say freight costs of USD 10,000+  asking if we can give some background to the ASA member, such as number of years they have been a member, had we ever had previous complaints of delayed payments. In most cases I’m sure there will not be a credit issue as we did carry out due diligence and taking references on all members when they joined, and we do also update our bad debtors checks monthly.

Please note this is only a suggestion, you can choose to ignore this especially if you already have a good trading history with any ASA member.

Many thanks

Best regards
