Air Shipping

Shipping internationally by air is a great option if you need to send your package overseas quickly. The primary negative of this shipping method is the cost – it can be expensive, so it may not be ideal for large shipments.Shipping by air may be the most practical option if your company needs to:

Send goods quickly – Air freight shipping is the quickest method of transporting goods internationally, so it is a great option for time-sensitive shipments. By quickly sending your parcels by air, you can reduce storage and inventory costs. If you have perishables to ship (food, pharmaceuticals, etc.), air shipping is the best option.

Ship a small number of goods – If you only need to ship a few products, air shipping can be a great way to do it. Although air shipping is more expensive than other international shipping methods, you won’t pay as much if you aren’t shipping heavy items or multiple items.

Ocean Shipping

Shipping by ocean is another option if you need to send packages internationally. It is the most common and cheapest method of shipping goods. Freight ships typically travel between ports, making multiple stops at various locations around the world. This mode of international shipping is best for large shipments and items that are too bulky or heavy for air shipping. Ocean shipping may be the best option for you if you:

Need to ship a large number of items – A container ship can hold tens of thousands of equivalent units, so they have plenty of space. Ocean shipping may also be the only method if you want to send bulk dry goods such as sugar, coal, cereals, and minerals, as well as some wet goods.

Want to reduce your carbon footprint – Ocean shipping is the most environmentally-friendly method of shipping overseas. This is largely due to recently imposed standards by the International Maritime Organization, which reduced the sulfur produced by ships – lowering carbon dioxide emissions drastically.

Need to save money on shipping costs – Shipping by ocean is the most cost-effective way to ship internationally, especially when compared to air shipping and its limited coverage area.

Need to send goods that are not time-sensitive – Ocean shipping takes longer than air shipping, but it does cost considerably less. If time isn’t a factor for your company, ocean shipping is probably the best choice.
