The Balancing Act: Cost, Weight & Customs
Choosing the right route involves evaluating three core factors:
2. Weight and Dimensions
Shipping costs are calculated by volumetric weight or actual weight, whichever is greater. A small but heavy box might be fine for air, while a large, light box could be expensive. For heavy items over 20kg, sea freight becomes remarkably cost-effective. Joyagoo can advise on optimal packing to minimize dimensional weight.
3. Customs Reliability

Quick Decision Guide For Your First Shipment
| Choose This Route If... | Best For Weight | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Express (DHL) | Under 30kg, high value | Speed and hassle-free, door-to-door tracking. Highest cost. |
| Standard Air | 10kg - 100kg | Great balance. Good tracking and predictable delivery. |
| Economy Air | Under 20kg, non-urgent | Maximum savings. Plan for longer transit and potential customs hold. |
| Sea Freight | 100kg+ / large volume | Lowest per-unit cost. Requires planning and understanding of port fees. |
