Independent freight planning information
Air Freight Planning Guide
Compare cargo quotations by packed dimensions, weight, route, acceptance conditions and handover scope. This is an independent guide, not a ShiftGo air-cargo service offer. ShiftGo currently accepts car, bike and pet relocation enquiries, subject to route review.
What an air freight provider needs
Give the selected cargo provider accurate dimensions, weight, packaging, route and timing details. A requested date is not a guaranteed dispatch or delivery slot.
Packaging review
Confirm packaging, dimensions and weight before dispatch planning.
Business logistics
Coordinate commercial cargo requirements and destination handover notes.
How to compare an air cargo quotation
Ask the selected provider to separate freight, collection, terminal handling, delivery and applicable taxes. Obtain its chargeable-weight method and written acceptance conditions; no universal per-kilogram price is assumed here.
Describe the cargo
Share the item type, number of pieces, packed dimensions, approximate weight and photographs.
Review packaging
Identify fragile contents, handling needs and whether the packaging is ready for multiple handover points.
Check the route
Confirm pickup, destination and required timing so availability and current requirements can be reviewed.
Coordinate delivery
Keep invoice or identification details and the destination contact ready when they apply to the shipment.
Before air dispatch
Share the shipment brief directly with an appropriate cargo provider so acceptance and quotation scope can be reviewed.
Measure packed dimensions and approximate weight.
Confirm item type, fragility and packaging condition.
Share pickup and destination city with preferred timing.
Keep invoices or identification documents ready when applicable.
ShiftGo vehicle and pet enquiries
General air cargo, household and office-move bookings are not available from ShiftGo. Pet travel feasibility is reviewed separately for the actual animal, route and carrier.
Choose the relevant service page to share a route and vehicle or animal details. This guide does not collect a household, office or general cargo booking.
Air freight questions
What to confirm before a time-sensitive cargo enquiry.
What details are needed for an air freight quote?
Share the cargo description, packed dimensions, approximate weight, number of pieces, pickup city, destination city and required timing. Mention fragile or special-handling needs clearly.
Can every item move by air cargo?
Acceptance depends on the item, packaging, route and current carrier requirements. Describe the contents accurately so eligibility and documentation can be checked before dispatch.
How should cargo be packed for air freight?
Packaging should suit the item, weight, dimensions and handling points. Share photographs and measurements with the selected carrier and ask it to confirm packaging and labelling requirements before dispatch.
How quickly can air freight be delivered?
Ask the actual provider to confirm route availability, acceptance cutoffs, collection, terminal handling and delivery windows. This guide does not promise a transit time or ShiftGo cargo booking.
Is pet travel the same as ordinary air cargo?
No. Pet travel requires a separate animal, carrier and itinerary acceptance review. Check the selected airline's current policy; a cargo quotation is not pet travel approval. Air India's current pet guidance is one carrier-specific starting point.
