Air and ocean freight quotes without the email chain
International quotes usually mean a forwarder, a spreadsheet and a few days of back-and-forth. Enter the shipment once and compare air express, air standard and ocean routes with their transit times, then your Armstrong team books the one you choose.
You enter
- Origin and destination: address, postal code or port city
- Pallets or cartons with dimensions and weight
- What it is, and whether it's hazardous
- Ship date
You get
- Air express, air standard and ocean routes compared
- Total price and transit days for each
- Door service or port-to-port legs shown
- How long each price is valid
Short answer: International freight is priced by route: air express is fastest and most expensive, air standard is cheaper by a few days, and ocean is the lowest cost per kilo with transit measured in weeks. The GetShippingRates platform compares those routes for a shipment, door to door or port to port, with total price and transit days, and Armstrong Transport Group's team books the move.

Questions we hear
How is international air freight priced?
On chargeable weight: the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight (length times width times height in centimeters, divided by 6,000, in kilograms). Light, bulky freight bills on its size. Ocean LCL is priced per cubic meter or per 1,000 kg, whichever is greater.
How long do international quotes take?
Most return in a minute or two. Overseas routes involve several carriers and legs, so they take longer to price than a domestic LTL quote.
