Send a Parcel to Chicago, United States of America
Chicago is a great city of 9.5 million people built on the shores of Lake Michigan but which has had a very rapid rise to fame. It was not really colonised by non-indigenous settlers until around 1830 and only had around 200 people but the coming of the railroad and the building of the Illinois - Michigan canal allowed steam and sailing boats to go from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River and made Chicago a great trading centre. It became the home of the stockyards and collected cattle from the long cowboy drives from the mid-west.
The city had an influx of people between the years 1910 to 1930, as the Great Migration of black people from the South moved North and an industrial culture grew up with the new workforce. The Great Depression hit Chicago very hard and prohibition spawned some of the best known gangsters in Al Capone, Dion O'Banion and Bugs Moran battled each other and the police until the St Valentine's Day Massacre by Al Capone on Moran's people caused the authorities to react.
Today the city is a major powerhouse with the 2nd largest financial centre in the USA and also with manufacturing, printing, publishing and food processing being major industries. It has also attracted the head offices of many major companies including Boeing, Kraft, McDonalds, Sears, Motorola and United Continental Holdings. It also claims 42 million visitors came to its doors in 2012 to see its sights and visit its businesses.
Chicago moved anything from livestock to industrial goods and nowadays the parcel trade of Chicago is exceptionally large (without livestock) and requires a good carrier and excellent suppliers. Chicago O'Hare airport is one of the world's great airports and acts as a great parcel hub. Cost of parcel delivery is good for the distance travelled and this is a place where larger parcel deliveries are often required. A good carrier will quote well and deliver to a tight schedule at a competitive price.
