Advantages of sea transportation:
✅ Low cost: compared to air freight, sea freight cost is significantly reduced, suitable for bulk cargo transportation.
✅ Strong capacity: it can transport large furniture, such as sofa, bed, cabinet, etc., without volume limitation.
✅ Stable route: Tianjin port, Qingdao port and other northern ports have direct routes to Indonesia, and the transportation time limit is about 15-25 days.
Key Node:
Port of origin: Langfang furniture is usually shipped from Tianjin Port or Qingdao Port, which have intensive routes and stable shipping schedule.
Destination port: Indonesia's main ports include Jakarta, Surabaya and Batam, and companies can choose the best port for unloading according to customer demand.
Customs clearance and distribution: Choose an experienced logistics company (e.g. Wisdom International Logistics), which can provide door-to-door (DDP) services to ensure smooth customs clearance and distribution of goods to customers' warehouses.
2. International Air Transportation: Fast Response to Time-sensitive Demands
Despite the lower cost of ocean freight, for urgent orders or high-value furniture (such as customized high-end products), international air freight is a better choice.
Advantages of air transportation:
✈️ Extremely fast delivery: from Langfang to Jakarta, airfreight takes only 3-5 days, dramatically shortening the delivery cycle.
✈️ High security: low damage rate of goods during transportation, suitable for fragile or high-precision furniture.
✈️ High flexibility: suitable for small batch replenishment or sample sending, enhancing customer experience.
