Nowadays, there are more and more people doing foreign trade. Generally, those who do foreign trade first send samples to foreign customers. Foreigners feel that the product is OK before exporting large quantities of goods abroad. Is it better to ship the samples by sea or by air? Here is a brief introduction.
There are some customers who want to go by sea and feel that sea transportation is cheaper, but in fact, can sea transportation be much cheaper? If you take LCL by sea, usually the freight is calculated based on one cubic meter if the goods are less than one cubic meter, plus customs declaration fees and document fees, it may be more expensive than air freight.
Therefore, if there are not many items, it is more convenient and cost-effective to take international express delivery, and you can also receive and deliver door to door. From another perspective, the shipping time is long and the international express delivery time is short. The general time limit for international express delivery is 3-6 working days to arrive, while the shipping takes about 30 days. During the business transaction, time is money, and customers receive early Get the samples, order early, and sign the contract early. Before the contract is received, everything is variable. Therefore, with regard to the question of whether the samples should be shipped by sea or international express delivery, it is recommended that international express delivery is cost-effective.
