Air freight shipping FAQs

HOW LONG DOES AIR FREIGHT TAKE?

Air freight is a faster shipping option with efficiency at its core. While delivery times can vary, shipping by air to places like China, the Middle East, and the US can take between 5-10 days due to customs processes and geopolitical events. To most destinations in mainland Europe, air freight can take as little as 3 days to arrive. We will be able to provide you with an accurate shipping estimate once we have all the information we need about your materials and destination.

HOW MUCH DOES AIR FREIGHT DELIVERY COST?

Shipping by plane tends to be more expensive than alternative methods, like road or sea freight, for several reasons, including speed, efficiency, and maintenance. In most cases, the amount you pay will depend on the weight of your material, with heavier goods typically charging more. We will be able to provide you with an accurate air freight quote once we understand what your goods are and where they are going.

WHAT IS CHARGEABLE WEIGHT IN AIR TRANSPORTATION?

In simple terms, chargeable weight is how much you will pay for transporting your goods, and it is calculated based on whichever is higher between the gross or volumetric weight of your air cargo. The gross weight is the total weight of the goods you are shipping, while the volumetric weight (or dimensional weight) is calculated by the length, width, and height of your goods.

Having left the EU, we were at a loss as to how to navigate the rules & regulations involved in sending goods into the EU. We contacted Cargo Express, and they were diamonds! Joseph worked tirelessly on our behalf, and thanks to his dogged determination, ensured nothing was left to chance. The consignment arrived safely and on time! I’d not hesitate in using Cargo Express again!

We dealt with Cargo Express at the end of 2023 and found them very professional. The pick up from us here in Munich was quick and efficient with all relevant details dealt with beforehand. The staff in the UK were extremely helpful providing all required documentation for proof of export/import. For future transport requirements we will not hesitate to use or recommend further Cargo Express.
