20 Hours from Shenzhen Factory to Dubai Factory via Air Freight to Middle East – Hard to Find Another One Like This in China
Aziz, a client from Dubai, found me online. He got straight to the point and asked: Could I arrange to ship a batch of servo motors and drivers from Shenzhen to Dubai via air freight within 24 hours, and deliver them to his factory right after customs clearance? If yes, I must make a written commitment.
From his few words, I could tell from experience that he had been let down by those small freight forwarders online who claimed to offer "air freight to Middle East" services. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked in such a tone. I asked him: Had he done any research on Daolong’s air freight to Middle East? He replied: It was exactly because he read several articles about us online and learned something that he wanted to confirm further. If things were really as what the articles said and promised, he wanted to try a small order first.
Just like that, since it was an urgent air freight to Dubai, Aziz quickly signed a contract with us. On the same day, I reserved a cargo space for the next day’s flight to Middle East, and also arranged for our container truck fleet to go pick up the goods early the next morning. Aziz asked: Why is this so convenient and fast?
I replied: Daolong has long-term exclusive rights to 20 weekly air cargo pallets from two major airlines. We are among the top 5 companies in China for air freight to Middle East. We don’t need to coordinate with any third party for cargo space. We have our own container truck fleet, so we don’t have to rent vehicles from third parties either. This is one of Daolong’s core strengths, and most of our peers don’t have this. This surprised Aziz a lot, and he felt relieved too – because his servo motors and drivers were now guaranteed to be shipped on time.
I also told Aziz: Every step of the air freight to Middle East will be updated in real time, and he could check the shipping progress 同步 ly. Aziz was shocked…
Early the next morning, Daolong’s container truck fleet went to the Shenzhen factory to pick up the goods. Six hours later, the goods were loaded onto the flight. After an 8-hour flight, they arrived at Dubai Airport smoothly. At the same time, the customs supervision warehouse had already received the pre-declaration documents. Although servo motors are key inspection items in the category of mechanical and electrical products, we had already communicated directly with the relevant customs departments in advance. The inspection and release were completed in just 2 hours, and customs clearance was finished.
After customs clearance, picking up goods from the airport supervision warehouse usually requires making an appointment and waiting in line. But thanks to the trust built through years of cooperation, we can skip the appointment and get priority for goods inspection and release – or you could say Daolong has the right to "jump the queue" for cargo pickup. Aziz was excited…
Right after that, a local logistics company with 20 years of history, over 500 employees and 50 vehicles sent a dedicated truck to deliver the goods. Four hours later, the goods were safely and smoothly delivered to the Dubai factory. This is a local customs clearance and delivery service company with strong capabilities, and we have full control over the "last mile" delivery resources.
This time, the door-to-door urgent service from the Shenzhen factory to the Dubai factory included three processes: logistics in Shenzhen + air freight to Dubai + logistics in Dubai. The total time taken was 6 + 8 + 2 + 4 = 20 hours. When the information about the final safe delivery to the Dubai factory was pushed to Aziz’s mobile phone, I could imagine how impressed he was… Now he truly understands and has experienced our commitment to delivery time – it’s hard to find another Daolong-like air freight service to Middle East in China.
That’s the end of the story… Let’s compare: What about those small freight forwarders who have neither core strengths nor local resources in Dubai?
In the next article, I’ll talk about how Aziz’s first air freight to Dubai was ruined by a small freight forwarder – for him, it was a real eye-opening lesson.
Daolong’s air freight to Middle East has long-term exclusive rights to 20 weekly pallets from two major airlines. Our core strength outperforms 99% of peers.
Everyone who has used Daolong’s air freight to Middle East says it’s smooth and hassle-free.
