When should you choose air?
Air freight costs 3 to 6 times more than rail or sea, but ties up your cash four times less. It makes sense for:
- product launches and stock-outs
- goods with a high value per kilo (electronics, premium textiles, technical parts)
- shipments of 50 kg to 2 tonnes, too heavy for express
- seasonal products with a short sales window
Chargeable weight in air freight
Airlines charge the higher of actual and volumetric weight (1 m³ = 167 kg). A 1.2 m³ pallet weighing 120 kg is therefore billed at 200 kg. We optimise packing in our warehouse to reduce that volume.
Dangerous goods (lithium batteries, aerosols, perfumes): accepted under conditions with MSDS and approved packaging. Ask for a specific quote.
