Your choice of delivery method can significantly impact your profits and, therefore, your success. If you are an entrepreneur who has yet to replenish the stock of products demanded by customers in time in a store or a large marketplace, you will suffer significant losses. International express shipping, i.e., transportation of goods in the shortest possible time, was created for such cases. Global Unity Logistics provides fast freight service from any country in the world so that you can get the maximum profit from commercial activity.
What is express shipping?
Expedited shipping refers to the fastest method of moving goods – air transportation. Airplane transit times usually range from 2-4 days, while standard shipping takes over a week.
This type of carriage is often used at the request of customers who are sensitive to delivery time. For example, they need to move commercial cargo quickly and deliver it to a warehouse in the destination country.
In comparison, it takes 7 to 10 days to deliver a shipment on a standard flight. This period often includes processing items (consolidation, labeling, packaging if necessary), delivery to the airport, passing through customs, and shipment.
Express shipping options
Global Unity Logistics sends cargo to a variety of destinations. Express shipping is available to our customers:
- from China to the USA

What kind of shipments do we send?
We accept shipments from 100 kg. This can be commercial merchandise such as clothing (excluding replica brands), shoes, golf balls, cosmetics, toys, handicrafts, etc.
Remember that some commodities that fall under the category of dangerous goods are prohibited for transportation. For example, alcoholic beverages, radios, valuable works of art, powder, ivory and ivory products.
Pros and cons of express shipping
The advantages are as follows:
- Short delivery time: you can send and receive items quickly in the destination country, ahead of the growing customer demand for your products;
- Customer loyalty: online shoppers on Amazon or other marketplaces are used to receiving items quickly, usually within two days. They’ll go to another seller if the items are out of stock. Express shipping allows you to update your inventory speedily and on schedule;
- Reliability: less time in transit = less chance of damage to the shipment, delays due to transfer to other transportation, and theft of merchandise.
Disadvantages:
Faster delivery will cost significantly more than sending by standard flight. You must pay dearly for this service, but downtime harms business. That’s why express shipping is an excellent option for clients who value their reputation. Sometimes, the price of fast delivery is higher than the cost of goods, which often limits access to the service.
Express shipping may not be available at your referral destination. In some regions, it is not possible to make an express flight and send cargo quickly because the required infrastructure is not in place;
Delays in deliveries are likely to occur during the high season – especially throughout Cyber Week and the Christmas holidays. Your shipment may only sometimes be able to be handled and dispatched on time, so add a few days to transit time.
Express shipping costs and rates
Fast airfreight rates are significantly more expensive than standard flights. This is due to the urgency of cargo handling and transportation allocation to your needs.
With fast freight, your goods are a priority, meaning they must arrive at the consignee at a specific time and date. Even if the aircraft is not fully loaded with goods, it will depart at the specified time.
Remember that after air transportation, the products are reloaded on a car and sent to the place of destination, so the term of delivery should be taken into account with the calculation of this factor.
Shipping times may increase for different destinations. For example, for one route, several carriers may offer various terms of 2-4 days or 3-5 days.Our manager will give you detailed prices for freight. Fill out the request form and expect an estimate to be sent to your e-mail.

FAQ
Your load will be delivered in record time, usually within 2-4 days. However, some shipping companies can increase transit time to 5 days. Keep in mind that the freight cost will cost the shipper much more due to the priority of departure.
Express shipping rates vary depending on the freight company handling the cargo. However, the high cost is more than covered by the short transit time, which can be a priority if you’re out of stock on Amazon or another marketplace and need to restock quickly.
Standard air freight takes longer – 7-10 days, in particular, depending on the season, aircraft workload, and complexity of cargo handling. At the same time, freight rates for a standard flight differ significantly from express shipping. It’s all about priority and dispatch schedule. With express freight, the timeframe is reduced to four days, considering airport-to-airport delivery.
