Is Ocean Freight or Air Freight Right For Your Needs?

A wide variety of shipping options are available for domestic and international transport of your goods. Choosing the right shipping option for your needs will save you money and expand your company’s reach across the globe. Amerijet offers both air freight shipping and ocean freight (through its sister company I.T.N. Consolidators) to help you get your goods to your customers across the globe.

So, how can you decide which shipping method is right for you: air freight or ocean freight?
Here are some things to consider.

• Size of goods—Ocean freight shipping can typically accommodate larger sized items than air shipping. For oversized or unusual goods, Amerijet’s sister company I.T.N. Consolidators provides reliable, affordable sea shipping that travels across established trade routes. Customers can even track their ocean freight online so you’ll know, day or night, where your goods are.

• Shipping deadline—The major advantage of air freight shipping is the short amount of time it takes. Whenever you absolutely need to get your shipment to a far off destination in just days or even hours, Amerijet’s air shipping services are available to accommodate your emergency. Air freight shipping is also preferable when no easy ocean routes are available. Amerijet can ship to remote destinations across the globe.

• Cost—If time isn’t a factor, ocean freight shipping is often more affordable than shipping by air. Let an Amerijet shipping expert help you compare the costs of ocean freight and air freight shipping so you can choose the method that best suits your budget.
