Choosing how to ship equipment is a balance between speed, cost and the size of the shipment. The right choice depends on the item and how urgently you need it.

Courier

Best for small, light parts and urgent requirements. It is usually the fastest door-to-door option for compact items, though cost rises quickly with weight.

Air freight

Suited to time-sensitive equipment that is too large or valuable for courier. It is faster than sea freight and generally more expensive per kilogram.

Sea freight

Usually the most economical choice for heavy, oversized or bulk shipments. Transit times are longer, so it needs advance planning.

Do not overlook packing

Export packing, such as sturdy cartons, crates, pallets and protective materials, reduces the risk of damage in transit. Heavy or delicate equipment may need custom packing.

Questions to settle before shipping
