Dedicated Line Shipping – Air Freight & Ocean Freight Special Lines
What Is Dedicated Line Shipping?
A cross-border dedicated shipping line is a shipping method that typically transports goods by air or by sea from one nation to another following consolidation. There is no flexibility in the route or schedule. After customs clearance, the local agents deliver the packages to the customer. In general, shipping costs are lower than those for international express services. In terms of timeliness, dedicated air shipment is faster than small package shipment but slightly slower than international air express. Businesses primarily in developed nations in North America and Europe use dedicated lines (and sometimes Australia). Many shipping companies now offer dedicated line shipping services for packages to the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Dedicated line services reduce costs by offering lower rates for larger shipments, helping businesses increase their profit margins.
