WAYS OF DELIVERING CARGO FROM CHINA TO RUSSIA
THE FINAL PRICE OF THE PRODUCT DELIVERED FROM CHINA DEPENDS ON THE DELIVERY COST, SO THE RUSSIANS OFTEN CHOOSE A CHEAP OPTION OF TRANSPORTATION. THE BIG PLUS FOR RUSSIAN BUSINESSMEN IS THAT OUR COUNTRY HAS ONLY ONE BORDER WITH THE CHINESE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC — IT MAKES EXPORT OF GOODS SOMEWHAT EASIER.
DELIVERY METHODS:
Fast but expensive way. Suitable for a small volume of goods.
The oversized cargo will be delivered within the period from 7 to 10 days. The cost of delivery is much lower than by air.
Economical way. One will have to wait for goods at least 25 days. Suitable for those who live near the port cities.
Small batches of goods are transported by car if the Russian city is near the Chinese border.
Most often one has to combine delivery methods. To choose the most optimal type of transportation and the route that saves time and money, many people turn to intermediaries for help. Most often the logistic chain is covered by one agent, and sometimes different intermediaries are involved at each stage of transportation.
