Export Shipping: Air vs Sea for Phone Farm Hardware
Freight choice affects landed cost and install timeline. We export from Guangzhou with commercial invoice and packing list on every shipment.
**Air express (courier):**
- Best for: samples, urgent replacements, 1–3 chassis
- Faster customs clearance for small cartons
- Higher $/kg — weigh against delay cost
**Sea LCL / freight:**
- Best for: multi-box racks, cabinet projects, heavy PSU/hub spares
- Crating and shock padding spec on quote
- Plan extra days for port handling and last-mile
**What we need from you:**
Consignee details, destination port or door address, and whether you have a forwarder. Battery-in-device shipments may need extra documentation — declare phone-included vs empty chassis on RFQ.
**Insurance:**
Buyer-arranged cargo insurance is recommended on sea freight above project threshold.
State freight preference in Contact — we return air and sea options when both are viable.
