Pros and Cons of Sea freight Shipping
✅ Pros
Cost-Effective for Large Volumes: Sea freight is significantly cheaper than air freight when shipping large or heavy cargo.
More Flexible with Dangerous or Restricted Items: Certain items that are limited by air can be shipped more easily by sea.
(Items like battery-powered electronics, Bluetooth devices, and flammable cosmetics (e.g. perfumes) may be restricted or denied air shipping due to safety regulations.)
❌ Cons
Longer Transit Time: Delivery can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the destination and shipping method.
K-pop trends change quickly, so long shipping times are not recommended.
Still, for restocking non-urgent items or previously released albums, slower delivery methods can be a good option.
Compared to express couriers like FedEx or DHL, reliability and stability may be relatively lower.
⭐️ Recommended for:
• Relatively large orders
• Items with low risk of damage
• Products that are not time-sensitive
