Air Freight Services

Farnell Freight Forwarders, Inc. is a TSA approved Indirect Air Carrier (IAC).  We have a fully secure warehouse and staff that trains on an annual basis to prevent acts or terrorism and to stay in compliance.  This approval allows us to book cargo not only on cargo planes but also the highly sought passenger airlines.

Air freight is more expensive than ocean freight, but the time savings can be worth every penny.

Hand Delivered

For the most time-sensitive cargo, hand delivery is the fastest method for shipping cargo overseas.  It is also quite expensive.

We have and will put an employee on the next flight out to make hand deliver your cargo.  Our only limitation is booking the next available flight, so if you have notice, advise us ASAP.

Passenger Airlines

We ship regular cargo on passenger airlines.  We have aggressive rates with two of the largest airlines in the world and have facilitated complex shipments over many years.  We ship freight guaranteed which has a next day transit (internationally) if space is available.  This is the fastest method for air cargo shipments.

There are size/weight limitations and certain commodities are forbidden.  Jacksonville Airport is not a DG classified airport.  Shippers must be “known shippers” with the TSA.  We are authorized to make companies known shippers, if required.

Cargo Planes

Cargo planes are your best method for shipping bulky, time sensitive cargo.  If your final destination is Bermuda, the only cargo plane that services the island flies out of Newark, NJ.  We can and do facilitate air freight shipments routing through New Jersey, however you need to take into account the transportation from the cargo origin to the airport which can sometimes add days to the transit.

Courier

Courier services like UPS, FedEx and DHL are common shipping methods for small, light boxes.  In some circumstances, you are better off shipping with one of these couriers when your cargo is 10 lbs or less and is about the size of a shoe box.  The transit time is faster than ocean but slower for passenger or cargo planes but the cost is low if the shipment is quite small.  Otherwise you are better off shipping on a passenger airline or ocean freight.
