Logistics Arrangement
We offer a range of shipping options including sea, air, and rail freight, tailored to fit your budget and delivery schedule for shipments from China to destinations around the globe.
Air Freight
Characteristics:
– Fast Speed: Air freight is the fastest transportation mode, ideal for urgent goods, especially products with high time sensitivity. It typically takes 3-5 days to the U.S., and about 3 days to Southeast Asian countries.
– Global Coverage: Air freight can deliver goods to almost all major cities and countries worldwide.
– High Security: Air transport is safer than sea or rail transport, with a lower risk of goods damage.
– High Cost: Compared to sea and rail transport, air freight is more expensive, particularly for heavier and bulkier goods.
– Limited Capacity: Aircraft cargo space is smaller, which limits the amount of goods that can be transported per shipment.
– High Requirements for Goods: Due to weight and volume restrictions, some large or heavy goods cannot be transported by air.
Sea Freight
Characteristics:
– Low Cost: Sea freight is the most cost-effective transportation method, especially for bulk or heavy goods.
– Large Capacity: Sea freight can transport large quantities of goods, making it suitable for bulk orders.
– Wide Availability: Sea freight services are available to nearly all countries and regions, covering global transport routes.
– Slow Speed: Sea freight takes a long time to transport goods, often requiring several weeks for delivery.
– Weather-Dependent: Adverse weather or sea conditions can affect the shipping schedule.
– Port and Handling Time: Sea freight requires port loading and unloading, which may cause additional delays.
Rail Freight
Characteristics:
– Faster Land Transport: Rail freight is faster than traditional road transport and is suitable for goods with time sensitivity, though not requiring air transport.
– Moderate Cost: Rail freight is cheaper than air freight but more expensive than sea freight, making it ideal for medium-sized and weighted goods.
– High Stability: Rail transport is more reliable than road transport, unaffected by weather conditions or traffic congestion.
– Limited Coverage: Although rail transport has wide coverage, it does not serve all countries and regions, especially those separated by oceans.
– Infrastructure Limitations: In some regions, outdated rail transport infrastructure may affect timeliness and reliability.
Cargo Consolidation
Take advantage of our consolidated shipping services from multiple suppliers across China to streamline your supply chain and reduce costs.
If your goods are sourced from multiple suppliers across different locations in China, we can consolidate them into a same place for shared container shipping. This allows you to take advantage of more competitive container freight rates, rather than paying higher costs for small parcel shipments.
By combining products from different suppliers, you can optimize container space usage and reduce logistics costs per unit.
