Disadvantages of air freight

Expensive
Compared with other modes of transportation, the cost of air transportation may be several times or even dozens of times higher. This is because the operating costs of aircraft are relatively high, including fuel consumption, safety equipment costs, cargo handling costs, airport fees, etc.
There are restrictions on transporting goods
Aircrafts have relatively little space for transporting cargo, so the amount of cargo transported by international air transport is relatively small. For some goods that need to be transported on a large scale, it may be necessary to arrange multiple flights to complete the task, which increases the complexity and time cost of transportation.
Force Majeure
Whether international air transport can sail normally is affected by many factors such as weather conditions, air traffic control, airport facilities, etc. Severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, fog, typhoons, etc., may cause flight delays or cancellations, affecting the transportation time and delivery of goods.

Air Goods Types

Whether cargo can be transported by air depends on the regulations of the airline, the import restrictions of the destination country and the nature of the cargo. Generally, it is divided into two types: general cargo and special cargo.

General Goods
General Goods generally refers to goods that do not require special handling or urgent transportation requirements. These goods do not need special protection during transportation and are transported according to the regular air cargo process. Goods under the general cargo category include textiles and clothing, electronic products and accessories, home decorations, stationery and office supplies, toys, packaging materials, etc.
Special Goods
When transporting special Goods by air, it is usually necessary to communicate with the airline or freight forwarder in advance to ensure that all necessary documents and arrangements are in place to ensure the safe and compliant transportation of the cargo.

It saves customers’ time.

Sea Express

Sea Express refers to the goods arrive at the destination country by sea, they will be delivered to the customer by a local courier company.You only need to tell the location of the pickup point or deliver it directly to you.

Parameter comparison

Speed & Cost
The delivery time of air freight goods is much faster than sea freight. Depending on the destination, air transport goods can generally be delivered in 5-7 working days, while sea transport takes more time and generally arrives in 45-55 working days. The length of the delivery time means a big difference in price. The transportation cost of sea transport is relatively low, which is more suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods，because sea freight needs have more time to process the goods. Air freight guarantees speed, while sea freight ensures lower costs and lower risk of damage. The transportation cost of air freight is relatively high and is more suitable for high-value goods. For high-value goods, fast delivery is preferred.
Weight & Volume
Another major factor on which the shipment kind is decided is the size of the shipment.Due to the volume transport capacity of air transport, it ‘s usually not suitable for bulk transport of bulk goods. However, sea transport has a large loading capacity and can accommodate a large amount of goods , which is suitable for the transportation needs of bulk goods.

Air freight tariff
Before the goods arrive at the destination airport, the international freight forwarding company submits a series of pre-declaration materials to the customs for preliminary review and confirmation of the basic information of the goods. When the goods arrive at the airport, the customs will conduct a detailed inspection and calculate the tariffs and other taxes (such as VAT) based on the detailed information of the goods.
Estimated price
The weight and volume of the cargo need to be considered when estimating air freight prices. Air freight charges are usually calculated based on the actual weight of the cargo or the volumetric weight (volumetric weight = length x width x height (cm) / 6000), whichever is higher.Here is the standard formula used in its estimation.
Volumetric Weight = Volume (CBM) x 167
Note: You can compute the volumetric weight based on the dimensions of your shipment.
The Solution for express
Air freight is the quickest way to get your goods to your designated destination. However, air freight involves much more complicated shipping situations. For example: paperwork, export/import fees, customs clearance, cargo pickup, etc.Here is the standard formula used in its estimation.
Express Volumetric Weight = Volume (CBM) x200
We have more than 10 years of experience, and we can ensure that your goods are delivered from Shenzhen, China to your area within 5-7 working days. And our sales staff will update you on the latest logistics and transportation status in a timely manner.
