Transoceanic delivery accounts for more than 60% of the total world cargo turnover. It is the best type of delivery option for shipping goods between continents, especially for shipping between China and the United States, which do not share a land border. Shipping by sea is also the most economical option. The option may suit you because of one or any of the follow reasons:
- You’ve purchased something in bulk, or something big and bulky like furniture.
- You need to ship oversized cargo.
- You have goods that are seasonal in nature.
- You’ve purchased goods with a long shelf life and time is not of the essence.
You can plan your bulk orders and book the shipping in advance. Ideally, clients fill their entire shipping container to maximize the cost-benefit of shipping by sea. Additionally, customs clearance is fast for this type of freight.

Features of shipping from China by sea
Shipping from China by sea freighter is a popular service for all kinds of clients. This service entails purchasing products in Chinese trade centers, shops and salons, which enjoy good prices and offer a wide range of services.
Both small businesses and large companies utilize shipping services. Small businesses often work with consumer goods. Large companies buy industrial equipment and tools. Chinese factories produce the quality products needed by both small and large companies under well-known and recognized brand names.
Another feature is specificity and variety. In fact, there are thousands of ports in China, so you can order the goods you need from a specific region while at the same time enjoy the benefit of a variety of suppliers. Once you’ve made your selections, your freight is transported in containers on specially equipped vessels together with thousands of such containers. But do not worry: they are all carefully labeled, and your goods will arrive to the address you indicated in your order.
The algorithm and the advantages of delivery by sea
This is how the system works. A customer orders something from China to be delivered to our warehouse address. Although the longer delivery time, sea shipping has its advantages, among which are:
- Reliability. Accidents at sea are extremely rare.
- Priority. China understands the need for a smooth shipping process because of how important it is to the Chinese economy. There should be very few holdups, if any.
- Safety. Your goods will be secure on board the ship and goods are rarely damaged while being transported.
- Price. This method of shipping is without doubt much cheaper than by air.
We consider the specifics of your cargo and choose the best shipping methods that fit your needs. As a reminder, we also work with non-standard and oversized cargo. In fact, shipping by sea freighter is ideal for these kinds of shipments. Another point: our transportation logistics are well-established; all you need to do is pick up the phone and talk with one of our agents.
