Shipping Methods from Shenzhen
Sea Freight Shenzhen: This is the cheapest and most common method of transporting large shipments.
Full Container Load (FCL): This is the best option if you are filling a container your option is a 20ft - 40ft or 40ft high cube. Sea freight transit time is around 30 to 40 days.
Less than Container Load (LCL) Shenzhen: Ideal where small shipments occur and where there is space available with other importers' cargo. Shipping costs are shared by the shippers on the basis of goods' size and weight in a container.
Rail Freight Shenzhen: It is suitable for full or small load containers. YFT offer LCL and FCL it is more expensive than sea freight but less expensive than air freight. Usually if the customer needs the goods more quickly than sea freight delivers but not as fast as air freight. It's a nice balance and shipping costs are higher than sea freight but lower than air freight. We would move the goods from Qingdao warehouse to Xi'an where there is Train service. Transit time is around 20 days.
Air Freight from Shenzhen: expensive used for urgent shipments and charging is done on weight dimension either by volume or weight which ever comes out more greater in KGS.
Choosing the right shipping method depends on how fast you need the goods:
- Low cost → Sea Freight.
- Balanced cost & speed → Rail Freight.
- Fastest delivery → Air Freight.
