But what is the difference between air freight forwarding and ocean shipping? WTDC digs a little deeper into the business of freight forwarding, in particular air freight forwarding, including why WTDC is the top choice when it comes to air freight forwarding.

All About Freight Forwarding
Simply put, freight forwarding is the process of organizing and coordinating the transfer of goods from its place of origin to its final destination. A freight forwarder does not ship the goods themselves, but a person or a company that handles the transportation of goods from one point to the customer's doorstep. As a worldwide logistics company and Foreign Trade Zone, WTDC offers global door to door cargo transportation services.

Air Freight Forwarding vs Ocean Transportation
In a nutshell, air freight forwarding is the process of transporting goods by air, whereas ocean freight is done by sea. Generally, air freight is faster than ocean shipping, albeit more expensive. Because departure schedules happen more frequently with air freight than via ocean transportation, air freight forwarding makes for a better option for items with short shelf lives such as temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and other medical equipment and supplies. For those who are trading other small items such as jewelries or cosmetics, air transportation is probably a safer option as well.
