 Air Freight/Air Courier is Reasonable When Ordering Samples The first thing to consider with Ocean Freight is whether you are actually better off shipping via air freight or air courier. There are some significant differences between air freight and air couriers  But the general rule of thumb is that for shipments under 200 kgs or so shipping via some air method as opposed to sea freight is almost always cheaper and far more convenient. Air shipping rates generally range from $5/kg-$10/kg but do not have the same high fixed costs common with ocean freight. How Much Does Ocean Freight Cost? For any shipment over 200 kgs or so, ocean freight is normally your cheapest option. Ocean freight has high base costs but it scales very well.
