Freight Options
Choosing the Best Shipping Mode from Ghana
Sea freight is great for shipping large and heavy cargo that isn't in a rush. It is less expensive than air freight, making it a popular choice for big shipments. Typical items sent this way include cocoa and timber, which are major exports of Ghana. It may take longer to arrive, but it is perfect for non-urgent goods.
Air freight is the fastest way to ship goods but can be more expensive. It is ideal for items that need to be delivered quickly or perishable goods like fresh produce, which Ghana often exports. If speed is most important, this option is the best choice.
Courier services are perfect for small packages or documents that need to be sent quickly. They offer door-to-door delivery and tracking, ensuring safety and reliability. Items like small craft goods or paperwork are often sent this way.
