Types of Shipping Compared

There are several types of shipping service available. Each type of shipping service covers different segments within the entire shipping journey. These include door-to-port shipping, port-to-port shipping, and door to door shipping. Door-to-port involves the collection of goods from the supplier and the transport of those goods to the port where they will be handled for shipping. Port-to-port shipping transports goods via cargo vessel from one port to another anywhere in the world. Door to door shipping is more comprehensive than door-to-port or port-to-port shipping as it covers all the steps involved in both services plus the final transportation and delivery from the port to the delivery address. Typically, door to door shipping also covers all the documentation and fees that occur within the shipping process.
