So, before sending goods worth thousands of Pounds off on their travels, it’s worth spending some time considering the main factors which will help you decide the best way of shipping your goods. DISTANCE & ACCESSIBILITY As you might expect, sending goods to America is different to sending them to France, not just because it’s further, but because there are different obstacles, namely the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. For example, only sea freight and air freight can be used to get goods across the water to the USA, whereas goods for France can go by air, sea, road or rail. URGENCY & TRANSIT TIME Only you know how urgently the goods are required by your customer. The overall distance to destination is important especially when promising lead times. Taking into consideration where it is going, how far it is, and which method of transport can be used, it’s possible to get an idea of the transit time. Typical transit times for sea and road freight services from the UK are: Destination Transit Time EUROPE – by road AUSTRALIA – by sea FAR EAST – by sea NORTH AMERICA – by sea MIDDLE EAST – by sea AIR FRIEGHT Naturally, goods can be delivered anywhere in the world very quickly by air freight, but services are between major airports and there are significant cost implications. 35 – 45 DAYS (Port to Port) 28 – 40 DAYS (Port to Port) 10 - 28 DAYS (Port to Port) 21 - 28 DAYS (Port to Port) 1 – 5 DAYS (Door to Door)
