ABOUT BASIC INFOMATIONS OF SOCK’S SHIPMENT

Weight and volume are two key points of sock’s shipment, they are decided the price.

  • A carton volume of 0.072 cubic feet

list it like this:

           Quantity   Weight       Carton        Volume
           1 pair     60 – 120g  
          250 pair     15 – 30kg       1 carton       0.072cbm
          2,500 pair   150 – 300kg      10 carton       0.72cmb

SOCKS SHIPPING TYPE

EXPRESS (FOR EXAMPLE LIKE DHL, UPS, FEDEX ETC. IN THE ACTUAL BUSINESS CHOOSE WHICH EXPRESS COMPANY, IT IS DEPENDS ON THE DESTINATION)

  • Delivery time: 3-6 days (most of the countries and areas will deliver the goods around 3-6 days, special locations and timing may need longer delivery time.)
  • Cargo weight: when the weight of your good less than 150kg, express service will be the best delivery option.
  • Type of goods: As you can see from the last chart, 2500 pairs of socks already weighed more than 150kg, we usually only use express service for sending samples.
  • Others: express provide door to door service, do not need any other payment

AIR TRANSPORTATION

  • Delivery time: 4-10 days (most of the countries and areas will deliver the goods around 4-10 days, special locations and timing may need longer delivery time.)
  • Cargo weight: base on our experience, air transportation is suited goods weight 200kg-800kg
  • Others: need to pick up the goods from the local airport, meanwhile must pay for the import fees and other service charges.

SHIPPING

  • Delivery time: 10-30 days (most of our clients could receive the goods around 15 days.)
  • Cargo weight: Best option while the cargo weight more than 5cbm.
  • Others: need to pick up the goods from the harbor, meanwhile must pay for the import fees and other service charges.

TALK ABOUT THE PRICE

How to calculate transportation fees?

  • Express: Per kilogram computation, a kilo is about $5 to send to the United States.
  • Air: as per kilogram computation, a kilo is about $2.5 to send to the United States
  • Shipping: per cubic meters (CBM), a cubic meter of about $180 to $220 to the United States.

Generally, for the smaller order (2000-5000 pairs), sea freight is cheaper by a third than air freight, therefore if there is enough time, please choose sea shipping.
