Guide to Air Freight

Get online quotes from multiple airfreight services

The most important piece of air freight information is ultimately how much it will cost you to ship your cargo. Get quotes from multiple companies before you choose a carrier.

I recommend: FreightQuote.com gives you quotes from multiple carriers. Freight Dynamics offers instant quotes either on shipping only or on shipping and packaging. On uShip.com, enter the specifications of your shipping needs and receive bids by email from competing air freight carriers.

Use a shipping service that specializes in international shipping

If your air freight shipments will be traveling out of the country, compare air freight carriers that specialize in international deliveries. Depending on the final destination, you may find a company that has direct daily flights to the exact country you need to ship to.http://www.shipping-worldwide.com/air-cargo.htm air cargo calculator

I recommend: APX Air Cargo sells air freight services to Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Use their air cargo calculator to receive an instant quote on international shipping. Request a quote on international shipping from AVIO Freight.

Use an air freight carrier that offers online tracking information

Ease your mind over your important shipments by tracking them every step of the way. Most air cargo carriers offer online tracking services so you can watch a package's progress from the comfort of your office or home. Get updates on a shipment's position every time its barcode is scanned at a different transfer point.

I recommend: National Air Cargo offers worldwide shipping and the ability to track your packages every step of the way. FedEx's website allows you to track your packages by their tracking numbers or by your account number if you've lost the tracking number. Also use their website to schedule pickups or locate drop boxes.
