Advantages and disadvantages of international shipping

Advantage 1: Lowest tariff
The overall cost of international sea transportation is the lowest, which is the lowest among all international transportation methods. The off-season sea freight price can be as low as 10 yuan/KG.

Advantage 2: Wide postal coverage
International sea freight has a wide range of postal services, which can basically reach the world. Compared to rail transportation, the postal service has a wider range.

Advantage 3: Large carrying capacity
Sea freight is the largest type of logistics method among all international logistics methods, capable of carrying over 1000kg of goods. Some large facilities and equipment generally need to be delivered by sea, and cannot be transported by air or rail.

Disadvantage 1: Slow logistics efficiency
The disadvantages of sea transportation are also very obvious, and slow logistics efficiency is one of its obvious disadvantages. The overall delivery time in Europe, America and other regions is 30-40 days, and logistics efficiency is slower compared to rail transportation.

Disadvantage 2: Highly affected by climate and unstable timeliness
Maritime transportation is greatly affected by business travel and adverse weather conditions, resulting in poor stability of freight delivery time. Some goods can arrive on time, while others may be affected and cause delays.
