A freight forwarder, forwarder, or forwarding agent, also known as a non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC), is a person or company that organizes shipments for individuals or corporations to get goods from the manufacturer or producer to a final point of distribution.

Transit time is the interval needed for a shipment to be delivered once it has been picked up from the point of departure. Basically, it is the amount of time spent when moving goods from one point to another.

The transit time vary according to route and the mode of transportation used. The exact time is mostly measured in hours and days.

It depends on which shipping mode you use. Shipping express can take as few as 1-4 days– but express is the most expensive mode, and is not suitable for large shipments. Air freight shipping will take about 7-15 days. Sea freight shipping takes 43-47 days, but is the most affordable if you can wait.
