Air Freight Services
When speed matters most, WFI’s air freight solutions get your cargo from China to the US quickly, reliably, and at competitive rates. We handle everything from pickup at the factory to delivery at your door.
Why Ship by Air?
Air freight is the right choice when ocean freight’s typical 20–40 day transit isn’t fast enough. Common reasons to choose air include:
- Urgent restocking — When your warehouse is running low and you can’t wait for a vessel
- New product launches — Beat competitors to market with faster delivery
- Seasonal peaks — Meet holiday or promotional deadlines
- High-value cargo — Reduce insurance exposure and transit risk for expensive goods
- Sample shipments — Move prototypes or small quantities quickly for review
- Supply chain disruptions — Recover from vessel delays or port congestion
