Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are transit time estimates?

Transit times are estimates based on historical data and current schedules. Actual times may vary due to weather, port congestion, customs delays, and carrier schedules. We recommend adding buffer time for critical shipments.

What affects ocean freight transit times?

Key factors include distance, shipping route, port congestion, vessel speed, transhipment requirements, weather conditions, and customs processing times at origin and destination.

Is air freight always faster than ocean?

Air freight is significantly faster for the actual transit (hours vs weeks), but total door-to-door time also includes pickup, customs, and delivery. For some short-distance routes, ocean may be comparable when factoring all stages.
