Air Freight

Although the focus here is on sea freight, air freight is an option for time – sensitive or high – value items. Airlines operating from Shenzhen can transport goods to major airports near Atlanta. Ground transportation must then be arranged to reach the final destination. Air freight is more expensive but can significantly reduce transit times compared to sea freight, making it suitable for shipments where speed is crucial.

 

When shipping from Shenzhen to Atlanta, GA, carefully consider the nature of your cargo, your delivery timeline, and your budget. Whether you choose sea freight’s FCL/LCL options or air freight, an informed decision will ensure your goods reach their destination efficiently and cost – effectively.
