Sea & Air Freight
Global shipping solutions
Choose the mode that matches your deadline and budget. DropEx coordinates ocean and air programs with bundled documentation support so finance sees one landed-cost story—not a patchwork of invoices.
Air vs sea
Fast, premium air service versus economical ocean moves for bulk and heavy cargo—side by side.
Air
- Speed: typically 3–7 days door-to-door (lane and service level dependent).
- Ideal for: urgent and high-value shipments, new product launches, and critical spare parts.
- Weight: up to any weight, subject to carrier and aircraft limits—project cargo coordinated case by case.
Sea
- Transit: typically 15–45 days door-to-door including port handling.
- Ideal for: bulk replenishment, heavy machinery parts, and non-urgent inventory builds.
- Containers: LCL for shared space, FCL when a full box is the most economical unit.

LCL & FCL (sea)
Share container space with LCL when you do not need a full box, or move FCL for homogeneous cargo and predictable handling at origin and destination.
Air service levels
Priority uplift when minutes matter, or deferred air when you need speed without paying peak-season express premiums.
