Service overview
A practical choice starts with the cargo—not the service name
Air freight decisions depend on more than the flight time. QIFLY reviews gross and volumetric weight, packing, route frequency, airline acceptance, transfer risk and the required delivery scope to identify a workable option.
Available service paths
Choose the operating model that matches the shipment
Availability and final scope depend on the route, cargo, carrier and written quotation.
Connecting flight
May improve price or space while adding transfer time and handling.
Air DDU / DAP
Adds clearance and final delivery within the written scope, excluding duties unless stated.
Good fit
When this service makes sense
- Urgent production parts or replenishment
- Higher-value cargo with tighter schedules
- Compact cargo where air cost is justified
- Airport or final-address delivery requirements
Review first
When another plan may be safer
- Undeclared batteries, liquids or magnetic goods
- Packing that cannot withstand air handling
- Cargo exceeding aircraft size or weight limits
- Unrealistic same-day uplift without acceptance review

Questions to settle before booking
Final answers depend on the shipment and written quotation.
01How is air freight chargeable weight calculated?+
The airline compares gross weight with volumetric weight and normally charges the higher figure. Exact divisors and rules depend on the service.
02Can you ship batteries by air?+
Some batteries can move after product, packing, test-document and carrier-acceptance review. Approval must be confirmed before booking.
03Does airport-to-airport include customs?+
No. Airport-to-airport normally ends at the destination airport handling stage unless clearance or delivery is specifically added.
