Managing Freight Shipping
Managing freight shipping can take a lot of time away from managing your business. Finding an affordable and trustworthy carrier takes time. Completing all the paperwork takes time. And then there is the time it takes to learn about freight shipping so you can handle it all internally and get it right. You can outsource your small business shipping to USBrandHub and benefit from our turn key service to manage the shipping from the US supplier to your local carrier office including customs brokerage and risk management. USBrandHub Freight Department streamlines international shipping by utilizing a network of top rated international shipping carriers. Our experts can plan, coordinate, and execute your worldwide and cross-border international shipping needs including international air freight and ocean freight shipping.
The most efficient way to ship internationally is to have your goods transported in a cargo container by ocean freightliner. The freightliners are giant boats and are built to accommodate more containers. Ocean container shipping may be the most cost efficient form of international transport, but it is also the slowest. It can take anywhere between two weeks and five weeks to transport a container from the United States to Asia and between one week and three weeks to transport a container from the United States to Europe.
For over 15 years USBrandHub has been transporting cargo to various countries in the world through reliable partners. Due to our expertise and capabilities in cargo consolidation, our prices are among the most competitive in the market for both - small businesses and huge wholesalers. Our partner warehouse facilities provide our customers with consolidation and temporary storage of their cargo. Our extensive network can coordinate transportation issue worldwide.
Not all international freight is created equal. If your shipment is dense, meaning it has a small footprint that takes up minimum space but weighs more than 150 pounds, then air freight may be the best mode of transportation. Cargo planes are much larger than commercial passenger planes, but that is not the only difference. While they both require the same special FAA license, a cargo freighter has multiple decks and an oversized cargo door at the underbelly of the plane.
International air freight and express freight shipments are not the same things. Express freight is typically handled by one company (like DHL, UPS or FedEx) that handles the entire shipment lifecycle, with shipping from door to door in under five days. These shipments are usually smaller (less than one cubic meter and 400 lbs) than air freight. International air freight shipments can be significantly larger and may move across multiple carriers during shipment. As a matter of fact, the largest cargo airplane, the "Antonov 225" can hold an entire train.
