Factors that affect shipping costs and times

For example, festivals in China, the United States or Europe can have a significant impact on prices and times due to their impact on logistics.

Due to the long holidays during important Chinese holidays, shipments are often booked up days in advance.

Due to the high demand, freight rates have risen accordingly.

We find it advisable to arrange delivery as far in advance as possible during the Chinese New Year.

If you don’t, you’ll have to put up with long delivery delays.

Therefore, based on our extensive experience in controlling delivery times from China, we are providing you with this knowledge to help you understand the basics of this market.

Shipping times from China to other countries

The estimated Time of Transit (ETT) is the time between the estimated time of departure from the point of origin (ETD) and the estimated time of arrival at the destination (ETA).

As for the shipping of goods by sea in China, there is only a very rough concept as shown in the figure below.

Precautions for FCL shipment

20 feet, internal capacity 28 cubic meters, but used to carry heavy cargo,

While a 40-foot container has twice the volume of a 20-foot container and can hold up to 68 cubic meters of cargo. But the maximum load is the same for both.

Both 20-foot and 40-foot containers are no more than 27 and 28 tons that can be loaded at Chinese ports

FCL shipping means renting an entire container for your cargo. If you have cargo large enough to occupy a container, or even most of the container, FCL shipping may make the most economic sense.

It is also faster than LCL shipping because there is no need to combine or separate your cargo from other cargo.

Your container will also remain sealed throughout the journey, and unless a customs officer chooses to inspect it, it will remain sealed until it reaches your address or chosen destination.

How many cartons per pallet, and how many pallets per container?

Precautions for LCL shipping

If your shipment does not fill the entire container, our LCL shipping service from China is readily available. Your goods need to be delivered to my warehouse in China, we will combine the multiple batches of goods into one container to load in China and ship to the port of destination as per your requirements

LCL shipping means that your goods will share space with the goods of other companies. It also means that your lead time may be a little longer due to the packing and unpacking process.

The charge for LCL shipping is usually based on the volume or weight of the goods, whichever is greater. The minimum shipping charge is per cubic meter

For volumes between 0-15 cubic meters, LCL is recommended. However, it may vary depending on the departure port. Please contact us for more information.

There are many advantages to choosing air over Chinese air. The main advantage is that the delivery time is significantly shortened. Depending on the chosen delivery destination, sea shipping can take up to a month or more. By contrast, air transport can take as little as five days to get goods from the factory to your office.

Delivery times vary depending on the shipping category chosen: Economy or express. By choosing air freight, you can save quite a bit of time. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that five percent of all international cargo is transported by air.

However, it is important to note that air freight is more expensive than sea freight. Despite faster delivery times, air freight is not preferred due to higher costs. However, if you believe that time is money and you can save a month of shipping time, then it is reasonable to pay additional shipping costs.

Many importers prefer a hybrid approach, opting for a portion to be shipped by air and the rest by sea. This strategy helps maintain sales while also keeping costs in check.

When it comes to air cargo companies, trust DTFU Logistics to deliver your cargo safely, on time, and within budget.
