Cargo Service

What does cargo service mean?

Cargo services is the process of taking any goods, products or materials from one place to another in a regular and safe manner and delivering them. There are different variants for cargo services:

• Road is a standard type of transport for small or medium-sized goods to be transported within a country. The shipment is usually transported in large trucks and driven by a professional driver. It is a convenient and fast way to carry loads. It is not suitable for road freight forwarding, oddly shaped goods or extreme long-distance shipping.
• Sea transportation is an economical option for businesses that want to transport their goods abroad. Sea freight can accommodate all loads, sizes and weights. The only downside is that this freight forwarding service takes longer to ship.
• If you need to move your shipment quickly, the best way to move it is by air. Special cargo planes will be able to transport your cargo to almost every major city in the world. There are daily cargo flights for most cities, so you can move your goods right away in case of an emergency. 

In addition to these, important government documents are also transported through cargo services in some countries. If we give an example of this; If you have gained any work permit or residency permit in Turkey, these will be sent to your home with special cargo services. Moreover, the documents of any citizenship application and your passport as a result of obtaining it will reach you in this way. If you have an education residency permit, the cargo procedures will be same.

How much does cargo cost?

The shipping fee doesn’t exactly have a clear price. Currently, air cargo prices vary between 4.00-8.00 USD per kilogram. Changing companies, shipping types and the type of your shipment have a great impact on this. For example; When it comes to air cargo transportation, weight and volume are key factors. It will charge on volumetric weight or actual weight, depending on which is more expensive. For shipping by sea, the pricing period may be slightly different. Because on the sea route, cargo will be placed on ships with special containers and these containers are rented by the cargo company for a fee.

It is not economical to transport shipments weighing more than 500 kg by air, so sea way is preferred. Sea freight is around $2-4/kg, and China-US shipping takes about 30-40 days or more. About $5-8 per kilo, a China-US shipment of 150kg to 500kg can economically go by air freight and takes about 8-10 days. Express air freight is several days faster, but more expensive.
