1. Shipping Methods
We offer various shipping methods to meet the needs of different countries, regions, and projects.
1. Ocean Freight
Suitable for most large-scale molds; this is the most common method for international shipping. Options include:
Less than Container Load (LCL)
Full Container Load (FCL: 20GP / 40GP / 40HQ)
Reinforcement, bracing, and welded securing services available for large molds
Typically recommended for bulk shipments or heavy orders.
2. Railway Freight
Primarily for customers along the China-Europe route (e.g., Russia, Central Asia, and parts of Europe).
Options include:
Full Container Load (FCL) rail transport
LCL/consolidated rail transport
Faster than ocean freight; suitable for time-sensitive orders.
3. Truck/Land Freight — Applicable to select regions
Used for transshipment or cross-border transport to neighboring countries or regions (e.g., parts of Asia).
