Door-to-door or airport-to-airport: what’s the difference?
Door-to-door describes a service covering collection from the sender and delivery to the recipient. Airport-to-airport generally means you handle the goods to the departure airport’s hand-in point, while the recipient arranges collection at the destination airport. Other offers may cover only one ground leg. Check exactly where the provider’s responsibility starts and ends.
Pick express courier if you want a simpler parcel handover
Choose express when you want a parcel-style service and prefer collection and delivery to be arranged together, where those legs are included in the offer. Before booking, check whether pickup, airport handling, customs arrangements and final delivery are included—or need to be organized separately.
Pick air freight if your shipment needs a cargo quote
Air freight may suit a shipment you want quoted as cargo, with each journey leg clearly specified. Don’t compare an airport-to-airport quote with a door-to-door quote as if they cover the same work. Ask who handles collection, origin handling, customs, destination handling and final delivery.
What details do you need for a courier or air-freight quote?
Have the shipment details ready so you can compare the service and handover points—not just the headline quote.
- Origin and destination addresses, or the airports involved.
- Number of pieces, plus the packed dimensions and gross weight of each piece.
- Accurate contents and declared value.
- The date the shipment will be ready.
- Whether you need collection, final delivery or both.
- For international shipments, the documents and permits that may apply to your goods.
How can you avoid common shipping mistakes?
- Measure and weigh the shipment after packing; packaging can change its dimensions and weight.
- Describe the contents accurately, and flag goods that may be restricted or require special handling before booking.
- Cushion the contents so they cannot shift inside the package, and check the packaging requirements for your item.
- Use a clear shipping label on a flat surface and remove old labels and barcodes.
- Confirm the agreed hand-in or pickup point, destination handover point, who arranges each ground leg, which documents travel with the goods and what the recipient must do.
