Freight questions, clearly answered.

What information helps AONE prepare a freight quote?

Share the origin, destination, transport mode, cargo description and expected cargo-ready date. Estimated package, weight and volume data can be marked as not sure when it is not yet available.

How do I choose between FCL and LCL?

The choice depends on cargo volume, handling sensitivity, schedule, consolidation points and total landed cost. Final selection should be checked against the actual shipment details.

When should I use air freight instead of ocean freight?

Air freight can suit urgent, time-sensitive or higher-value cargo. Ocean freight is often considered for larger volumes and less time-sensitive movements.
