Our shipping services to Argentina include the following:
– Air freight (cost is calculated by weight and dimensions);
– Full container shipping by sea freight (20 foot, 40 foot, or 40 foot high cube, please contact for dimensions – cost is on a per container basis);
– Less than container loads shipped by sea freight (where your goods are palletised and share a container with someone else’s goods. This can save costs in comparison to air freight, the cost is calculated by weight and dimensions).
Sea freight transit times from the UK to Argentina is about 25 days. If you are short on time, you may opt for air freight to Argentina, however, this comes at a premium. You can discuss prices and transit times with our export team, we can provide two quotes; one for air freight and one for sea freight if required so you can compare the costs and benefits.
In international shipping there is nothing more valuable than being organised and having knowledge in the industry. For example, using a freight forwarder to handle your shipping to Argentina that does not have experience in this area can end up being costly if mistakes are made. Mercator has this knowledge, and in combination with our local knowledge in Argentina, you are in safe hands when you choose Mercator to handle your shipping to Argentina.
