What are the pros and cons of shipping internationally via ship or via plane?

The advantages of shipping by air are: the time, since it will be much less than the time of shipping by sea. Fiality, since due to its own innate conditions it is rarely susceptible to loss of goods.

The sea shipment has the great advantage of having a significantly lower cost than the air shipment, due to the difference in delivery times, since apart from the transportation time, the required permissions time must also be taken into account.

I think a great advantage that we sometimes overlook about ocean shipping is that many products are restricted for air shipment.

By ship, the travel costs are not calculated by weight but by volume, but the travel time is greater. When you ship by plane, they usually take into account the most influential factor, that is, if the volume is greater than the step, they take the volume as a measure for the pressure, usually it is much higher than by ship, but the arrival times are shorter.

A huge factor for items shipped by air: damages. Air shipments get so damaged from forklifts at the airports. It is a huge issue, and something I didn’t realize until I started walking around the floor and talking to Inventory Control during Covid. Combine that with the high cost of air means that most big companies only use air in emergencies (like during Covid).

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
