Not sure where to start?

If you want to start doing business but still don’t know where to start, send us an inquiry. We can teach you the step-by-step process and help you source products. We’re so confident you’ll love our service, we want to start working with you before you’re even ready to start shipping inventory. We can make most suitable shipping offer for each of your shipment depends on our shipping experience and your shipping requirement. Matter how unorthodox the shipment, we’ll do whatever it takes to fit your needs.

We can provide cost estimates and explain the pros and cons of each shipping method in your specific situation. However, it’s best to have some background knowledge of these methods beforehand as well.

The main options are express shipping by courier service, airfreight, and sea freight. In this section, we’ll provide a quick overview of how each method works as well as their respective strengths and weaknesses.

Express Shipping freight From China to Mexico :

This is the fastest option to ship goods to Mexico . With Express shipping, your merchandise can reach its destination within 3-5 business days. With Express shipping courier services see your packages from door-to-door – that is, from your supplier factory to the items’ end destination.

A variety of well-known carriers offer these services, such as UPS, TNT, FedEx, and EMS. They all have good reputations for reliability, so you can rest easy knowing your items are quickly making their way to their destination. These carriers use a variety of methods (airfreight and sea freight which we’ll go into in greater depth later) to provide a hands-off, worry-free service. They can pick up your inventory at your door (or factory) and see it to a designated address, whether that be the warehouse in Mexico or directly to your Mexican customers.

Door-to-door express shipping handles items of all sizes and weights. Light items are generally air-freighted for speed and heavy items are sea-freighted, which involves a longer ship time. But since they come directly to your door, they are the most convenient option.

Upsides to express shipping: A fast, worry-free experience for you
Downsides to express shipping: More expensive than alternatives

Airfreight from China to Mexico :

The biggest advantage of airfreight is its speed. Items leaving China can arrive in Mexico within 5-7 days. This is optimal for high-value items since they spend less time in transit. However, there are a few trade-offs for that speed.

Airfreight is generally more expensive than sea. It’s also better for small items because airlines have weight and volume restrictions. Airfreight also uses more fuel than alternatives, so if carbon footprint is a concern for you and your company ethic, you’ll want to opt for sea freight.

Keep in mind that airfreight normally only involves delivering goods to an airport in Mexico , not to the inventory’s ultimate destination. Additional transportation accommodations must be made to get your shipment to its final destination. The exception, of course, is if you’ve arranged for door-to-door transportation. As discussed above, door-to-door delivery allows arrangements to be made to transport the goods from the airport to their end destination, as well as clearance through Mexican customs.

Airfreight is split into two categories: general cargo and special cargo. As the name suggests, most items are considered general cargo.

Examples of general cargo:

Electronics
Jewelery
Pharmaceuticals
Personal accessories like watches, purses, etc.

Special cargo is subject to different regulations than general cargo, which can involve additional inspections.

Examples of special cargo:

Fragile items
Dangerous items, like certain chemicals
Items that need to be temperature-controlled, such as seafood

What is fragile items?

Fragile items includes anything that can be easily broken, from glassware to antiques and more. These delicate items can be made of any material, including crystal and ceramic, and need extra attention before shipping. XCJ logistics provide a security over your fragile items.

Remember, some airlines have restrictions that prevent them from handling special cargo. When obtaining an estimate, make sure you mention any items that might fit into this category. The type of items you’re shipping can impact what airlines (and which airport destinations) your items can travel through. This, in turn, can affect the price you end up paying.

Upsides to airfreight: Fast

Downsides to airfreight: Expensive, high carbon footprint, constraints on what type of items can be shipped via air.

Sea Freight shipping service from China to Mexico :

Sea freight is the most common method of shipping items from China to Mexico , mainly because of its versatility and reliability. While airfreight have constraints on what items they can carry, practically everything can be shipped by sea, including very large and heavy items (like cars). The main downside to sea freight is its timeline. While other shipping methods deliver cargo in a matter of days, sea freight takes weeks. Items usually take between 18-30 days to reach their destination, depending on the type of freight and the specific ports of departure and arrival.

Sea freight operates under the FCL and LCL container system. Consider container sizes when choosing shipment sizes and when obtaining a price estimate, since prices for FCL and LCL are different. We can help to make commercial invoice, customs clearance and buy insurance for your shipment.

Full Container Load (FCL): These are shipments where all the items in a container are owned by a single company. This is a good option when you’re shipping enough volume that you can fill an entire container by yourself. This is suitable for bulk items and large-volume products. It’s the most cost-effective option of all, provided you’re filling the entire container.

Less-than-Container Load (LCL): Multiple shippers’ items are packed together into a single container. This is the way to go when you’re shipping in quantities too small to fill an entire container. This allows for smaller, more adaptable inventory.

FCL or LCL which one is cheaper?

FCL is cheaper than LCL because instead of paying for each C.B.M (cubic meter), you to pay for each container. The whole cargo belongs to a customer, and it has a customs license. The review is for one case only.

Why one choose LCL in sea freight?

You may be wondering why anyone would choose LCL if FCL is the cheaper option. With FCL, you pay for the entire container. If your shipment is too small to fill the container, it can be more cost-effective to opt for LCL, where you’re only paying for the space your items take up.

Downsides to sea freight: Slow

Special shipping service from us

We are providing some special service for shipping your merchandise. Our port-to-port, door-to-port and, door-to-door service helps you to find best way of shipping. If you don’t know about these services then we will help to learn.

Port-to-port

In ocean freight, port-to-port shipping involves the middle leg of the entire shipping process. Under this, the transportation of merchandise in shipping containers from the port of origin to the port of destination. It doesn’t include pre-carriage and on- carriage transportation service. Given the volatile and precarious situation shipping lines are often faced with at sea, there lies a certain unpredictability in this portion of shipping process. This is largely why this trends to be the most expensive part of the shipping process.

Door-to-port

Door-to-port service in an efficient and cost-effective way of shipping goods internationally. This process beings when goods are picked up from your home, then you are responsible for the foreign customs formalities process and for arranging delivery of the goods to your final destination. We will notify you prior to cargo arrival to the port of destination and refer you to one of our customs brokers to help clear customs and process required paperwork.

Door- to-door shipping

Door-to-door shipping is a service where the freight forwarder guarantees that the goods will be picked up from and delivered to the destination decided by the customer. We will pick up the shipping container from your warehouse and bring it to the port gate. No matter which type of delivery you chose, it is important to know what all of your options are before shipping. It is different from door-to-port or port-to-port because it begins and ends at specific address within cities covered by the freight forwarder.

What Is the Difference between Door to Door and Door to Port?

Door to port is collection from origin and delivery to destination port only where you will have to collect yourself; door to door is collection from origin and delivery to your address directly.

Comparing Shipping Methods at a Glance:

Shipping Cost from China to Mexico :

Typically, you will hear that shipping by ocean is cheaper than shipping by air when shipping by road isn’t an option. This is usually true, however, this is not necessarily in all instances. Airlines bill you by what is called a chargeable weight when utilising this as a shipping method. Chargeable weight is calculated from a combination of both the size and the weight of a shipment. As a shipment gets smaller, the increments between the prices is and sometimes air will even end up being cheaper than sea freight.

Express	High
Air Freight	High
Sea Freight	Low

Benefits of ocean freight:

Suitable for a wide range of products
Large volume shipping
Most environmentally friendly within all modes of transport
Economical and cost effective.
Extensive worldwide coverage
Multiple carrier options

Sea shipping is different in that sea carriers charge per container rates for shipping in standard containers. While weight can factor into the price for sea freight, their charge tends to be primarily based on the size of a shipment. If you are shipping less than a container load, your price will likely be determined by cubic meter. With larger and heavier shipments, shipping by sea tends to be the more cost-effective route.

Benefits of air freight:

Quick transit
Reliable arrival and departures
Enhanced level of security for your cargo

Speed

When it comes to speed it is without a doubt that air freight is usually much faster than ocean. When it comes to business time is money, this factor alone could make a huge difference when determining what freight method is best for you. Many sea shipments can take roughly a month to arrive at their destination while an air shipment often takes only a couple days.

For most import and export businesses, faster is better. It should be noted that technology keeps moving forward in the world of international shipping. Ships are constantly getting faster, and canals have created shorter shipping routes. There are many ocean freight shipments that are crossing oceans with delivery times as short as eight days.

How can be cost calculated?

The rates for shipping air freight or cargo in a container from China to Mexico are dependent on several factors. XCJD freight forwarder will usually take the following aspect into consideration before shipping your merchandise:

Nature of goods
Chosen mode of transfer
Weight of cargo
Dimensions of cargo
Distance between origin and recipient
Types of service

Busy times for Chinese exports are January (Chinese New Year) and the third quarter of the year (July-September). The latter is due to increased demand in anticipation of end-of-the-year holidays.

Keep in mind that quotes for FCL shipping are usually stable for up to 2 weeks, while LCL rates last up to a month. This is why it’s so important to 1) obtain a quote specific to each shipment, and 2) act quickly to place your shipment order after receiving a quote.

Shipping Time from China to Mexico :

Express	3-5 days
Air Freight	5-7 days
Sea Freight	18-30 days
