Unfortunately, there is no consistent answer to this question until we know exactly where you are shipping and your timeline to get it there. In general, ocean shipments take longer and air shipments are typically the fastest way to move cargo. Even this, however, can depend on where you are shipping to, the size of the shipment, what you are shipping, and other details.

Shipping costs can vary depending on destinations, how it is shipped, weight, sizes, etc. In general air shipments are more expensive than ocean shipments.
