Know the Difference between Cargo and Regular Delivery to Send Goods
Nowadays, long-distance shipping has become a necessity in our digital era. Delivery services are now essential and increasingly relied upon to fulfill shipping needs. Cargo shipping and regular shipping services can be used depending on your delivery requirements. So, what’s the difference between cargo and regular shipping?
Key Difference Between Cargo and Regular Shipping
The main difference between cargo and regular shipping services lies in the weight and size of the items being shipped.
- Cargo shipping is designed for goods with large weights and dimensions.
- Regular shipping is for smaller, lighter packages.
Aside from weight and size, here are other differences you should know:
1. Type of Package
Regular shipping is generally for lighter items that are not too large in size. It’s suitable for individuals and sellers shipping items such as fashion products, accessories, health and beauty products, gadgets, and even food.
Meanwhile, cargo shipping is suitable for delivering large quantities of goods or heavy and oversized items. Examples include furniture, staple goods, food in bulk, and other large or heavy products.
2. Shipping Rates
- FTL (Full Truckload) – renting an entire truck.
- LTL (Less Than Truckload) – paying according to the weight or volume of your shipment.
For regular shipping, the cost is typically calculated per kilogram. With Paxel’s Regular service, you can send packages more affordably with flat-rate shipping up to 5 kg. Paxel also offers various delivery options, including Sameday, Nextday, Regular, and Instant.
