What's the difference between Air and Express shipments?

Air and Express shipments are two different options for transporting goods by air.

Air freight, also known as standard air freight, is a cost-effective option that can be arranged for port-to-port or door-to-door delivery. It is less expensive than Express shipping but more expensive than shipping by ocean.

On the other hand, Express shipments are booked with a courier for door-to-door delivery and are the fastest option available. They are typically used for small shipments, weighing less than 50 kg.
