Transport modes

The right mode for each shipment. Booked and tracked in one place.

We choose by cost, speed and volume, and can split a shipment across modes when stock is urgent.

Sea freight

FCL and LCL

Full or shared containers into Rotterdam, Hamburg, Gdańsk and other European ports, with door delivery.

Rail freight

China–Europe rail

A middle option between sea and air for time-sensitive and higher-value goods.

Air freight

Urgent and high-value

Fast replenishment and launches, cleared and delivered to your warehouse.

Road freight

Across Europe

Full and part loads between suppliers, warehouses and retailers, under CMR.

Trade corridors

Shipping beyond Europe?

We run dedicated corridors between Europe, China and Africa: Europe–China, Europe–Africa and China–Africa.

After arrival

Freight that ends in stock, not at the port.

Customs clearance, delivery and receiving are part of the same booking, so goods go straight into a Waredock warehouse in six EU countries and are ready to ship to customers.

Know before you ship

Get these right and freight runs smoothly.

  • Incoterm. Agree who pays what with your supplier, for example FOB or DAP.
  • Pallets. Ship on EUR pallets with the ISPM 15 mark, one SKU per pallet where possible.
  • Documents. Commercial invoice, packing list and certificates ready before departure.
  • Free time. Plan delivery slots early to avoid demurrage and detention.
FAQ

Freight forwarding: common questions.

Guides: Shipping from China to Europe · FCL · LCL · Bill of lading

Which transport modes do you offer?

Sea freight as full or shared containers, rail freight between China and Europe, air freight, and road freight across Europe, booked and tracked as one shipment.

Should I ship FCL or LCL?

If you have roughly 13–15 cubic metres or more, a full container is often cheaper than sharing one. Below that, LCL is usually the better choice. We quote both when it is close.

How long does shipping from China to Europe take?

By sea, typically about 42–46 days from Shanghai to Rotterdam while most carriers route via the Cape of Good Hope; rail about 12–25 days; air a few days.

Can you deliver straight into your warehouse?

Yes. We can clear customs and deliver into a Waredock warehouse, where your goods are received into stock and ready for orders.

Do you ship out of Europe too?

Yes, including exports from Europe to China and to East Africa on our trade corridors.
