Is sea freight or air freight better for my ceramic tableware order?

Is sea freight or air freight better for my ceramic tableware order?

Sea freight is the economical choice for large volumes and works for full containers or LCL shipments. It needs more lead time and earlier planning, which suits buyers working to a seasonal schedule.

Air freight is quicker and pricier. It makes sense for urgent orders, high-value items, fast restocks, or when a deadline cannot move. It is also a practical option for samples.
