Why use Road Freight from China?

If you are looking for a shipping option that is cheaper than air freight and faster than sea freight from China, then road freight is your best choice. Well, finding the right shipping method can be tricky especially for first-time importers, but trust us, road freight services are great alternative when both time and cost matter to you.

Using road freight makes things easier for you with faster transit times and lower costs, especially for nearby regions like Asia and areas where land border crossings are available, like Europe and the Middle East. That’s why DDPCH is here to make your road freight shipping simple, providing clear shipping costs, estimated transit times, and full guidance on documents and the entire process.

So, stay with us until the end of this article, and you will see why road freight from China is the perfect balance when you're stuck choosing between air freight and sea freight.

Keep reading to find out why many of our customers choose air freight for their shipping needs from China.

Why use Air Freight from China?

Air freight is the fastest way to ship from China, making it ideal for urgent and fragile goods up to 500 kilograms. If speed and security matter most to you, then air cargo is the right choice. Just keep in mind that it comes at a higher cost compared to other shipping methods.

From our experience, many of our customers prefer air freight because it ensures their packages arrive on time and in good condition. This means there is a low chance of delays, lost shipments, or damage during transit.

How much Road Freight cost from China?

The cost of using road freight depends on a few main factors like the shipment size, shipment type, road conditions, border fees, distance, and the route it takes from China. Think of it like booking a delivery service within your hometown, the shorter trips cost less, while longer ones with heavier goods will be more expensive.
