When you need a fast, economical, and reliable solution to move your goods from China to the rest of the world, it's time to rely on us - ABL Logistics - to efficiently deliver them. We offer quick air freight solutions.
Full Container Load (FCL) transport usually provides faster and more stable transportation services because the entire loading and unloading process only needs to deal with the same shipper, avoiding delays and losses that may be caused by unpacking, sorting, and coordination. It only takes 23 days by OOCL sea freight from Shanghai, China to Felixstowe, UK.
Shipping through ABL LOGISTICS involves consolidating goods from multiple different shippers into a single container for transportation, in order to achieve cost savings. This approach provides reasonable shipping prices and there are no hidden fees at the destination port. It is particularly suitable for transporting small to medium-sized cargo.
ABL LOGISTICS aims to establish long-term and stable partnerships with shipping and airline companies, ensuring that we have access to more cargo space regardless of whether it is peak season or off-season. This allows us to offer competitive pricing to our customers.
