DAKA International Transport Company handled many air shipments from China to USA door to door. A lot of samples need to be shipped by air. Also for some big orders when customers need it urgently, we will ship by air.
International by air from China to USA can be divided into two ways. One way is shipping by air with express company like DHL/Fedex/UPS . We call it by express. Another way is shipping by air with airline company like CA,TK, PO etc. We call it by airline.
Shipping by express is usually for small orders less than 200kgs. First we need to open an account with the express company like DHL/Fedex/UPS . Then you need to send the cargo to the Chinese warehouse of DHL/Fedex/UPS . Then the express company will ship the cargo to your door in USA with customs clearance included. This shipping way is very easy but the price is very expensive. But if you have cargo to be shipped by express in very much frequency, you can ask a discount of DHL/Fedex/UPS. Because our company has hundreds of shipments to be shipped by express daily, we get very good price from DHL/Fedex/UPS. That is why our customers find it cheaper to ship by express with DAKA than the price they got directly from DHL/Fedex/UPS.
Also when you ship by express with DAKA, we can pick up the cargo from your Chinese factory to the Chinese warehouse of DHL/Fedex/UPS. We can also help in preparing customs docs and coordinating between the express company and your Chinese factory.
The second way of shipping by air is by airline. But Airline company like CA,CZ,TK ,PO can only ship the cargo from airport to airport . They can not do it from door to door . When you ship from China to USA by airline, you need to send products to Chinese airport and finish Chinese customs clearance before airplane depart . Also you need pick up the products from USA airport and finish USA customs clearance after airplane arrive.
So when you ship with airline company, you need find a shipping agent like DAKA so that door to door shipping can be achieved. What DAKA will do to handle shipping by airline ? Kindly check below.
