Freight shipping transit time is impacted by factors including distance, shipping mode, route, and season. In very rough estimates: express can take as little as 1-3 days, air freight is typically 5-10 days, and sea shipping can range anywhere from 20-45 days.

While freight shipping services are very reliable, shipments do not typically come with a guaranteed transit time unless it is requested. Pickup day is not included in the qualification and calculation of transit time.

Air freight rates generally range from $1.50$4.50 per kilogram, while the value of air cargo typically exceeds $4.00 per kilogram.

To calculate a freight charge you must first determine which weight break to use based on your shipment weight. Then you divide your total weight by 100 to get your number for 'per hundred pound'. Take this number and multiply it by the applicable CWT from the rate scale.

A freight rate (historically and in ship chartering simply freight) is a price at which a certain cargo is delivered from one point to another. The price depends on the form of the cargo, the mode of transport (truck, ship, train, aircraft), the weight of the cargo, and the distance to the delivery destination.

Regardless of the amount of freight or its final destination, 3PL companies typically offer the services to handle it all. Common freight shipping options include truckload (TL), less than truckload (LTL), expedited LTL and intermodal.
