Door-to-Door vs Port-to-Port Shipping: Which is Best for You?
What is Door-to-Door Shipping?
Door-to-Door shipping means your cargo is picked up directly from your supplier or warehouse and delivered all the way to your buyer’s address overseas.
Pros:
Hassle-free: one partner handles everything.
No need to coordinate with multiple agents.
Great for first-time shippers or small businesses.
Cons:
More expensive due to inclusive service.
Delivery time may vary depending on destination country’s customs.
🔹 What is Port-to-Port Shipping?
Port-to-Port shipping means your cargo is delivered from port of origin to the port of your buyer’s country.
Pros:
Lower cost compared to door-to-door.
Faster if your buyer has their own customs broker.
Suitable for experienced importers.
Cons:
You (or your buyer) must handle customs clearance and inland delivery.
More paperwork and coordination required.
🔹 Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Door-to-Door if: you want convenience, less hassle, and are new to exporting.
Choose Port-to-Port if: you or your buyer already have logistics support in the destination country and want to save costs.
Conclusion
Both services have their own strengths. If you’re shipping from Bali, the choice depends on your priorities—convenience or cost savings.
