Sea freight (Most popular choice)

 

Sea freight is the most cost-effective way to ship large quantities, or heavy goods from China to New Zealand. It is ideal for bulk cargo, furniture, machinery, building materials, and other items. We offer two main sea freight options:

FCL: If your cargo is large enough (typically over 15 cubic meters), you can book an entire container. This method is faster and safer because your cargo will not be mixed with other goods. Shipping time from major Chinese ports (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou) to major New Zealand ports (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch) is approximately 18 to 30 days.

LCL: If your cargo is smaller (1 to 15 cubic meters), you can consolidate it with other customers. This can save you money, as you only pay for the space your cargo occupies. Due to the need for consolidation, the shipping time will be slightly longer (20 to 35 days).

Air freight (Fast & secure)

 

Air freight is suitable for urgent goods, high-value items, etc., and the transit time is typically 3 to 7 days, depending on direct flights and connecting flights.

We cooperate with major airlines to ensure fast delivery. Fast shipping from major Chinese airports (Shanghai Pudong Airport, Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, etc.) to New Zealand (Auckland Airport, Christchurch Airport, etc.).

Door-to-door shipping

 

No matter where your supplier is in China, we can arrange pickup. We can also arrange shipments from various coastal ports, such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Qingdao. After the ship arrives in New Zealand, Auckland, as the main port, will handle container unloading and delivery. For shipments to other ports such as Hamilton and Wellington, please provide the specific address.

Senghor Logistics handles the entire shipping process from China to New Zealand, so you don't need to deal with multiple suppliers, saving you time, reducing risk, and ensuring price transparency.

All services include:

  • Pickup from any Chinese factory or warehouse;
  • Export customs declaration in China;
  • Main transport (sea or air);
  • Import customs clearance in NZ;
  • Delivery to your NZ address.

Consolidation and warehousing

 

If you source from multiple suppliers in China, we can: collect goods from different factories; store the goods in our warehouse; and finally consolidate the goods into a single container for shipment.

We provide warehousing solutions to ensure your goods are safely stored before reaching their final destination. Our 18,000-square-meter warehouse in Shenzhen is located near the world-class Yantian Port. We are equipped with skilled forklift operators and container loading workers, making container loading more efficient. The warehouse also offers value-added services such as long and short-term warehousing, consolidation, palletizing, and repacking, which greatly benefits our clients. Besides, our warehousing services are particularly useful for large enterprises that need to manage inventory levels.

Real Case Study

 

Don't just take our word for it-here is a real case of our customers, showing how we helped them ship goods from China to NZ smoothly.

Customer: Importing supermarket shelves from Shenzhen.

Challenge: Due to the special nature of the products, the longest section is 6 meters, another product is 2.7 meters long, and there are also some loose parts. If we were to use fumigation-free wooden crates as required by the warehouse, the cost of two custom-made crates for such long and large items would be high. Previously, the client usually shipped in FCL, but now, shipping less-than-container-load (LCL) cargo is difficult to manage in warehouses and cannot guarantee safety. The cost of unpacking and handling at the destination port in New Zealand is also high.

Our Solution:

(1) Initially, considering both warehouse requirements and cost, the client decided to ship on pallets. However, it's generally impossible to customize a single pallet that long; custom-made pallets are usually only about 1.5 meters long.

(2) After careful consideration, our team optimized the solution by placing a pallet at each end of the goods, allowing two forklifts to load them into the container simultaneously.

The final solution was: for the 6-meter-long item, we used one fumigation-free wooden crate; for the 2.7-meter-long item, we customized two 1.5-meter-long pallets, saving the customer the cost of one fumigation-free crate. Because of this shipment, the customer witnessed our problem-solving capabilities, and future orders will be shipped successively.
