Air Express Services
Air express shipping connects senders with global courier networks. Parcels are picked up from your location, processed through export customs, flown to destination hubs, and delivered directly to the recipient - typically within days.
While air freight is ideal for large cargo, air express provides priority handling, door-to-door delivery, and real-time tracking. It's the preferred method for smaller, high-value, or time-sensitive shipments that require faster customs clearance.
Air express pricing is based on volumetric (dimensional) weight. Compact, sturdy packaging ensures lower costs and faster customs handling.
Rates may rise during Christmas, Midsummer, Black Friday, and Easter, when parcel volumes surge. Booking early helps secure lower pricing and guaranteed transit times.
