Why Choose Door-to-Door Shipping?
Many people assume that shipping international cargo means you have to go to the port yourself, deal with confusing paperwork, and haggle with officials.
That is the old way.
Door-to-door delivery is a seamless end-to-door solution. This means the shipping company picks up your items (or receives them at their warehouse) and handles the entire journey until it reaches your doorstep in Ghana.
At Package Direct LLC, we prioritize transparency. We believe you should have a clear and comprehensive view of your shipment’s journey. This visibility allows you to trust the entire process from origin to destination.
Air Freight vs. Sea Freight: What’s the Difference?
When shipping to Ghana, you generally have two main options. Choosing the right one depends on your budget and how fast you need your items.
1. Air Freight (Best for Speed)
If you need items quickly, Air Freight is the rapid and reliable solution.
- Pros: It is the fastest way to get packages to Ghana.
- Best for: Urgent documents, electronics, fashion items, or smaller parcels.
- Our Promise: We ensure your packages reach their destination promptly with our efficient aerial solutions.
2. Sea Freight (Best for Volume)
If you are moving heavy items or looking to save money on larger shipments, Sea Freight is your best bet.
- Pros: Much more affordable for heavy cargo.
- Best for: Furniture, cars, bulk goods, and household items.
- Our Promise: Our ocean freight services deliver your cargo with reliability and precision, ensuring a seamless journey through vast waters.
Note: Not sure which to pick? We have a dedicated team of logistics professionals with over 5 years of industry prowess to help you decide.
