Air freight questions

Not covered here? Ask a coordinator.

What is volume weight?

Airlines charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the space a shipment takes up. We calculate both and quote on the chargeable weight.

Can you fly lithium batteries?

Many battery shipments can fly with the right packaging and labels. Send us the battery type and watt hours and we will confirm.

Which documents do I need?

Usually a commercial invoice and a packing list. Some goods need permits or certificates, which we flag when you book.

Can you collect today?

For next flight out bookings made before 2pm on business days, we can usually collect the same day.
