1. Transportation Mode Affects Price

The freight charges vary significantly among different transportation modes. For example, sea freight is usually relatively economical and cost-effective and is suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods.

While air freight is fast but has a higher cost and is suitable for goods with extremely high time requirements. Zhongshitong will provide a corresponding and reasonable basic freight quotation according to the transportation mode you choose.

2. Goods Weight and Volume

The weight and volume of goods are one of the key factors determining the freight. Generally speaking, freight forwarders will charge according to the higher one between the weight and volume, which is the so-called "maximum charge principle". Therefore, it is very important to accurately measure and estimate the weight and volume of goods before shipping, so as to clearly know the approximate freight expenses. The staff of Zhongshitong will provide detailed guidance to customers on how to accurately calculate this data to obtain an accurate freight quotation.
