When shipping internationally with Joyagoo, one of the most critical decisions you'll make is choosing between air and sea freight. With our extensive network of global routes, selecting the right mode of transport hinges on understanding your specific needs, primarily your destination country and the weight of your parcel. This guide will help you make an informed choice.
Key Factors to Consider
Parcel Weight & Volume
Lightweight, smaller shipments are often cost-effective by air. As weight and volume increase, sea freight becomes remarkably more economical for larger consignments.
Destination Country
Joyagoo's route analysis considers port/airport infrastructure, customs efficiency, and distance. Some landlocked countries or major hubs may have a clear advantage with one mode over the other.
Urgency & Time Sensitivity
This is the defining difference. Air freight is measured in days, while sea freight is measured in weeks or months. Plan your supply chain accordingly.
Budget Constraints
Align your transport budget with your timeline. Air commands a premium for speed; sea offers significant savings for non-urgent goods.
The Case for Air Freight
Best for:
Consider air freight when time is money and for shipments to countries with efficient major airport hubs.
The Case for Sea Freight
Best for:
Choose sea freight for bulkier items to coastal countries, when planning far in advance, and maximizing budget efficiency.
