There are three freight services for shipping from China to Australia: air freight, courier service, and sea freight (LCL and FCL).
Air freight and courier service are fast and safe.
And it is a port-to-port service that requires the consignee to arrange pickup and customs clearance after the cargo reaches the destination airport. Air cargo prices depend on departure and destination port, weight, and rates.
Courier service is a door-to-door air cargo service and is a good option for cargo weighing less than 45 kg.
Sea freight is the cheapest model, but it has a longer transit time of 20 – 30 days when shipping from China to Australia. Besides, sea freight requires a minimum weight of 1 cube meter (CBM).
