SHIPPING SERVICES
Choose the Right International Freight Service
| Service | Best for | How it works | Relative speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| FCL ocean freight | Large-volume or higher-value cargo | One shipper uses an entire container | Faster than LCL on many ocean routes |
| LCL ocean freight | Pallets, boxes and smaller commercial shipments | Cargo shares container space with other shipments | Slower than FCL due to consolidation |
| Air freight | Urgent, valuable or time-sensitive commercial cargo | Cargo travels through scheduled air-freight services | Faster than ocean freight |
| Air express | Small parcels, documents and urgent boxes | Courier-style collection and delivery | Usually the fastest option |
FCL Ocean Freight
FCL shipping provides exclusive use of a 20-foot, 40-foot or specialized container. It is generally suitable for larger shipments, cargo requiring greater separation or shipments where container control is important.
LCL Ocean Freight
LCL shipping allows smaller shipments to share container space. Charges are generally based on the cargo’s volume and weight, making LCL suitable for pallets, boxes and loads that do not require a full container.
Air Freight
Air freight is designed for commercial cargo that must arrive faster than ocean freight can typically provide. It is commonly used for urgent inventory, valuable goods, samples and time-sensitive shipments.
Air Express
Air express provides expedited international delivery for parcels, documents and smaller boxes. It typically includes courier collection, air transportation, customs processing and final delivery.
