1. Shipping Services
ShangHai Freight Forwarding provides a full range of shipping options that cater to both businesses and individuals. Whether you’re shipping large quantities or smaller packages, ShangHai has tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.
Sea Freight
If you’re looking for a cost-effective shipping option for large or heavy goods, sea shipping is the ideal choice. With Shanghai’s ability to offer competitive sea shipping solutions, we can arrange the transport of goods via sea at the best prices, whether you’re shipping a full container load (FCL) or less-than-container load (LCL).
- Shipping Time: Sea shipping typically takes between 10 to 30 days, depending on the departure port and final destination in the U.S.
- Cost: Competitive pricing based on shipment size and destination.
Air Freight
If speed is essential for your shipments, air freight is the best option. We choose the best airlines based on your timing requirements, ensuring your goods arrive quickly.
- Shipping Time: 1 to 5 days, depending on whether the flight is direct or not.
- Cost: While air shipping is typically more expensive than sea freight, it offers speedier delivery.
Door-to-Door Shipping
We offer door-to-door shipping, which is perfect for those who want to have their goods delivered directly to their desired location in the U.S. This service also includes handling customs clearance in the U.S.
- Comprehensive Service: From picking up your goods in China to delivering them in the U.S. with full customs clearance.
2. Shipping Options
Full Container Load (FCL)
- For large shipments, FCL is the best choice. You rent an entire container, ensuring greater security, faster delivery, and cost-effectiveness for large volumes.
Less-than-Container Load (LCL)
- For smaller shipments, LCL allows you to share container space with other shipments, reducing costs. While LCL may take a bit longer due to consolidation, it is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses.
