Freighting your goods back home.

You are a small buyer and you have invested your money into a few cartons of goods that you purchased overseas.
Now how do you ship the goods back home?
Do you ship them by air or sea?
If you are dealing with smaller shipments which have gross weights in the ballpark of 100 kilos, then you will find it difficult to deal with freight offices.
They give low rates for larger shipments but not for smaller consignments. The internal administration charges that are passed back to you will eat at your profits.
You will also run into problems with courier type air freight companies such as DHL and Fed Express. They have too many ancillary charges which they slap on top of their per kilo rate, which will erode your profit.
Unaccompanied baggage offices that are situated around the airport are not cheap either, but they are reliable and convenient. To be honest there is no cheap air freight but ask yourself if you want to be waiting around for weeks for your goods to arrive.
If you use sea freight, be prepared to have your good sitting at the docks for days on end.
