Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG from China to United Kingdom?
For 100 KG to United Kingdom, air freight is generally more cost-effective when you factor in the full delivery cycle.

Can I track my shipment from China to United Kingdom?
Yes — all shipments include tracking. Air freight shipments receive an airway bill number (AWB) for real-time airline tracking within 24 hours of departure. Sea freight shipments are trackable via the bill of lading number through the carrier's portal. We provide status updates at key milestones: departure, port of entry, customs clearance, and delivery.

Minimum shipment sizes vary by channel: Air freight DDP channels typically accept from 21 KG (some from 12 KG). Sea freight LCL is usually priced from 1 CBM. Express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS) handles single parcels. For shipments below 21 KG, express courier services are available. Contact us to confirm the best option for your specific cargo.
