Valuehandlers offers different air shipping solutions designed to suit the needs of every customer. Direct air shipping and Consolidation service are some of the most common shipping methods used for general goods, packages, household items, parcels, business to business shipping for SMEs and e-commerce businesses.
Both Direct and Consolidation shipping services are very reliable ways of shipping parcels and items to Nigeria, each with its own peculiarity. Knowing the difference allows you to effectively make the right decision based on the type of good you are importing, your budget and your level of urgency.
Direct shipping, as the name implies, is a shipping method that usually requires the immediate movement of packages from the origin to the recipient. It is time bound and usually used for urgent shipping.
Consolidation shipping is the result of combining multiple packages from different shippers to reach the airline requirements for shipping. It is the best cost effective shipping method for shipping small amounts of goods.
Unlike in direct shipping where you can move your goods immediately and without delay, in consolidation, there is usually a cut off day to give time for other shippers to consolidate their goods too.
