Air freight

When timing matters, make every handover count.

Plan time-sensitive cargo around actual dimensions, chargeable weight, airport options, and the required delivery date. Compare airport-to-airport and door delivery scopes with clear assumptions.

THE PRACTICAL OUTCOME

What your scope
can include.

Discuss air freight
  • Routing and service-scope options
  • Chargeable-weight assumptions
  • Commodity and documentation review
  • Collection and delivery coordination scope

Airline capacity, security screening, customs release, and local delivery can affect arrival. No guaranteed transit time is implied unless explicitly agreed in a contract.

HOW IT COMES TOGETHER

Clear steps.
Informed decisions.

01

Assess urgency

Provide the required arrival date, cargo-ready date, commodity, and acceptable delivery window.

02

Confirm handling

Review carton sizes, weight, batteries, restricted goods, screening, and any special handling requirements.

03

Book a defined scope

Agree the quoted validity, flight assumptions, customs responsibilities, and last-mile delivery arrangements.

BEFORE WE START

A useful first brief.

You do not need every answer yet. Share what you know and identify the details you still need help with.

  • Required delivery date and cargo-ready date
  • Each package’s dimensions and gross weight
  • Commodity description and battery or hazardous content
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Why does dimensional weight matter?

Air freight may be priced on the higher of actual and volumetric weight. The applicable divisor and rounded chargeable weight must be confirmed in the quotation.

Can you move products with batteries?

Submit the battery type, rating, configuration, and available documentation. Acceptance depends on the carrier, regulations, packaging, and route.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST CALL

Know what to bring to your first call.

Enter your email. We send one email that explains what the call covers and lists 3 things to have ready: your product with a photo or spec sheet, your order quantity and your delivery city. On the call we list the supplier questions still open, so you leave with a clear next step. The email includes a link to choose a time.

After that first email, we send short emails about checking suppliers and ordering from factories. Every email has an unsubscribe link. Privacy policy
