Get Started

What Ever Ocean Ship

We move air cargo out of our five origin warehouses across South China (Shenzhen / Guangzhou) and East China (Yiwu / Ningbo / Shanghai), departing from SZX / CAN / HKG or PVG / HGH / SHA.

  • Air-express — air main-leg + courier last-mile (UPS / FEDEX). The default for FBA replenishment, ASIN restock, and DTC fulfillment to the door.
  • Air-trucking — air main-leg + trucking last-mile. For palletized cargo, B2B distribution, and parcels heading to fulfillment centres for break-down.

  • Commercial courier — door-to-door small-parcel (DHL / UPS / FedEx / EMS) for shipments at or below 45 kg where speed beats consolidation.

Chargeable weight is calculated at 1 CBM = 167 kg (volumetric) or L × W × H in cm ÷ 6000 (palletized / boxed) — we bill on the higher of gross or chargeable. We accept general cargo, low-risk dangerous goods, and lithium-included shipments by case, assessed on commodity name plus MSDS.

What Ever Ocean

Two-market self-operated product matrix

USA and Canada — both lanes on this page run under our own DDP product line, not subcontracted to a single-market agent. Three product tiers in total (USA air-express, USA airport-to-airport, Canada air-express), so we match your shipment to the right tier instead of forcing one channel.

Five origin warehouses across two China hubs

Origin coverage across Shenzhen / Guangzhou (South China) and Yiwu / Ningbo / Shanghai (East China) — feeding SZX / CAN / HKG and PVG / HGH / SHA departure airports. When your factory or supplier sits in either coastal region, we have a warehouse and a departure airport within trucking distance.

FAQ

Typically 7 days from issue, with the main-leg portion subject to airline GRA (general rate adjustments) and fuel surcharge updates that publish on short notice. Once cargo is in our warehouse, the quoted rate is locked through booking. Quotes for shipments still in production are re-validated at booking. (Ocean-side quotes hold longer — typically 15–30 days — because base rates publish less frequently.)

Pick air when (a) you’re restocking against a sell-through window measured in weeks, not months — FBA replenishment, ASIN restock, DTC product launches; (b) your unit economics can absorb a higher freight cost per kg without breaking margin — generally electronics, apparel, accessories with several USD or more per kg of landed value; (c) ocean transit would arrive after a contracted retail window or after the peak-demand curve has rolled.

Both cover main-leg, destination clearance, duty / GST / VAT, and last-mile delivery. Air-express DDP is tariff-priced (single all-in number, no demurrage or detention exposure) and resolves transit delays at the airline level, not the terminal. Ocean DDP carries port-side variables — destination DO, terminal demurrage, container detention — that air doesn’t. Neither covers product compliance (FDA / FCC / CPSC etc.), IOR responsibility, or category-specific anti-dumping

Yes, by case. We screen lithium-ion and lithium-metal shipments against current IATA Lithium Battery Guidance — covering embedded, packed-with, and stand-alone configurations under PI 965–970. We confirm airline acceptance, UN3480 / UN3481 / UN3090 / UN3091 marking, and section IA / IB / II thresholds before quoting. Send commodity name, battery configuration, and MSDS; we reply with feasibility and any packaging requirements within 24 hours.

For volumetric / light cargo: 1 CBM = 167 kg. For palletized cargo: L × W × H in cm ÷ 6000. We bill on the higher of gross weight or chargeable weight.

Air-express DDP for fulfillment-bound shipments where door-arrival matters. Airport-to-airport when you have a destination 3PL or trucking partner taking over at the airport. Commercial courier for individual parcels at or below 45 kg.
