Reference data updated: August 2026
Transit times and service descriptions are planning references, not fixed commitments or live quotations. Actual delivery depends on origin, cargo type, capacity, border handling, customs documents, final address and peak-season conditions.
Start with the cargo-ready date and the latest acceptable delivery date, then compare door-to-door time and total cost rather than only the main sea, rail or air leg. Sea freight can be compared for planned replenishment with a flexible deadline; rail and road options can be assessed for tighter replenishment windows. Very urgent cargo may justify air freight, subject to cargo acceptance, capacity and final delivery arrangements. Use the same pickup address, delivery postcode, cargo details and scope for every comparison. If expediting the whole shipment is too costly, assess sending the critical quantity first and the balance later.
Provide the product name and use, package count and type, packed dimensions and gross weight of each package, stackability, pickup address in China, delivery address and postcode in Europe, cargo-ready date and latest required delivery date. Declare batteries, liquids and other special characteristics, and state whether customs clearance, insurance, storage or a warehouse appointment is needed. For full containers, include container type and loading conditions; for machinery, add photographs and dimensional drawings. Total weight or volume can support an initial discussion, but changes to dimensions, addresses or cargo characteristics may require a new quotation.
Each delivery location has different requirements. For Amazon and other fulfilment centres, check the current warehouse and shipment requirements for appointments, labels, pallets and handover documents. For commercial warehouses, confirm the address, opening hours, appointment and unloading equipment. Construction sites also require checks on vehicle access, ground conditions, lifting or forklift arrangements and the on-site contact. Do not assume the receiver can unload. Tail-lift vehicles, cranes, waiting time or redelivery should be discussed before booking and their charges confirmed in writing.
