• air freight;
• ocean freight.

Air freight from China to Canada

Air freight from China to Canada is the fastest way of shipping products. It is better for smaller shipments, as it is typically more expensive. However, it is often the best option when speed is a top priority (your cargo will be in Canada within 7-12 days).

Shipping Method	Weight/volume of cargo	Shipping time	Regularity	Delivery type
Regular flights	from 100 kg	7–10 days	each Thursday	door-to-door
Regular flights	from 100 kg	8–12 days	each Thursday	on Amazon

When should you use air freight from China?

Air freight is perfect for you if:

• you want to transport products several times faster than if it were sea freight from China to Canada;
• you don’t have a lot of time to ship goods in time for a seasonal sale or Christmas holiday;
• you are ready to pay more for express shipping;
• you have a non-toxic, general commodity shipment;
• you need cargo with minimal re-stacking in transit;
• you want a low risk of breakage or theft of goods during transportation.

Sea freight from China to Canada

Ocean shipping from China to Canada is the most cost-effective delivery method. Ocean freight is ideal for larger shipments, as transporting goods takes longer (from 30 days). However, it is often the best option for bulky or heavy items that would be prohibitively expensive to ship by air.

Shipping Method	Weight/volume of cargo	Delivery time	Regularity	Delivery type
Regular sea	from 1 m³	30–50 days	each Tuesday	door-to-door

When should you use sea freight from China?

• it is economical to ship large quantities of heavy and oversized cargo over long distances;
• environmental friendliness – the ship has a lower fuel consumption and carbon footprint, so sea transportation is less harmful to the environment;
• higher throughput capacity compared to air freight – ships are capable of carrying large volumes of cargo, while the size and weight of the plane limits air transportation;
• lower transportation costs in general.
