Four ways to move a consignment, priced the same way in every case: a rate per kilogram, plus a surcharge for every thousand kilometres it travels. Pick the one that fits the deadline and the budget.
by Airplane
The quickest way between continents, and the one that keeps a schedule when a deadline will not move.

by Ship
The cheapest way to move weight in quantity, for cargo whose delivery date is measured in weeks.
Best for
by Truck
Door to door with no handover in between, and the only mode that reaches an address rather than a terminal.
Best for
by Rail
Overland haulage at a fraction of a lorry fleet, for freight travelling a corridor rather than a route.

Whichever mode carries it, a consignment is handled the same way.
Every quote is worked out from the mode, the weight and the distance, and is the price the order is placed at.
Road and rail are measured over the road network; sea and air follow the great circle, and the order says which it drew.
An order moves from pending through processing to complete, and its owner sees each step as the freight desk records it.
Place an order and see the route, the transit time and the price before you confirm it.
