Air freight is the fastest and most reliable method of international delivery. It gets your goods delivered in days, so it is ideal when you need your delivery fast.
Speed and Reliability: air freight offers quick delivery, which is suitable when there is a need to deliver shipments which are urgent or expensive and cannot afford to delay them for weeks.
Calculation of cost: The cost will be calculated on the basis of volumetric weight, wherein 1 CBM equals 167 kilograms. This implies that bulk but small transportations can be more expensive because of the amount of space they use in the airplane.
Best usability: Electronics, medical supplies, perishable goods, fashion items and other valuable cargo or delicate cargo.
Advantages: Rapid transit rate, high security and international coverage.
Airfreight is also the best choice where time and reliability in your delivery are of utmost importance.
The most economical option is sea freight when the transport volume and weight are large. Though it is time-consuming, it has a great value in terms of reducing shipping costs, particularly in international trade.
Transportation of goods is a matter of the method of transport selected. The three shipping modes, air, sea, and land modes have their own advantages based on the size, weight, and urgency.
Land freight is a convenient and adaptable option to be used both in domestic transportation and cross-border transportation in the GCC region. It fills the void between price and promptness, offering a medium way to destinations in the area.
Convenience: Goods are delivered at the warehouses to their destinations without ports or airports.
Flexible Scheduling: Routes are easier to schedule and amend so it is also ideal when doing regular or short route delivery.
Cost Structure: Land transport usually costs less than air freight but slightly more than sea freight for smaller loads.
Best: Within the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
Tipping: Land freight is the solution that is affordable and fast to deliver the goods in the region.

Yes. CBM charges even small parcels in case they are large in size in comparison with their weight.
Divide each dimension (cm) by 100 to convert into meters, then multiply:
(Length × Width × Height × Quantity).
Add several small packages into one, select bulk goods shipment by sea, and use the CBM calculator and then book it.
