[Exposed] 6 Lies & 3 Pitfalls of Air Freight to Middle East Dedicated Lines

Logistics companies and freight forwarders without real strength don’t mean to be dishonest in business—they aren’t born dishonest. It’s just that without strength, it’s really hard for them to provide honest services. In Shenzhen, there are 60,000 logistics and freight forwarding companies, big and small. Supply exceeds demand seriously—just think, how can small logistics firms and small forwarders compete?

There’s only one wrong path for them: lying about their services in promotions:

1) Urgent air freight to Dubai, 24-hour direct delivery, door-to-door service.

2) Prices 30% lower than peers, or the lowest price for air freight to Dubai.

3) Having exclusive rights to multiple pallets from airlines, with daily flights to Dubai.

4) Operating air freight to Middle East (Dubai) dedicated lines for XX years, and we promise...

5) Having special connections with Dubai airport customs, enabling fast customs clearance upon arrival.

6) Having local logistics companies in Middle East (Dubai), no delay for even a minute.

But when you actually hand over your goods to them, all they can do is cheat and deceive:

 1. First Pitfall: No Real Cargo Space, Delaying Shipment

They send your goods to a consolidation warehouse—because they simply don’t have the strength to secure exclusive cargo space. They can only wait for a few days, consolidate bulk goods, and resell them to another capable air freight to Middle East dedicated line. For example, DL Air Freight to Middle East (under Shenzhen Sunny Logistics Co., Ltd.) has long-term exclusive rights to 20 weekly pallets (cargo spaces) from two major airlines, and it’s among the top 5 in China.

At this point, since they can’t ship your goods via air freight to Middle East on time, they start lying to you:

1) "Cargo space is tight, we’re still coordinating..."

2) "The flight is delayed, we need to book another cargo space..."

 2. Second Pitfall: No Priority Customs Clearance, Stalling at Airport

After your goods arrive at Dubai airport, they can’t get priority customs clearance like DL, nor can they skip the queue to pick up goods at the supervised warehouse. So they lie to you again:

1) "Your goods are mechanical and electrical products, which are subject to strict customs inspection. We have to follow the process, so you need to wait a few more days..."

2) "We’re coordinating with relevant parties, which really takes time. A few more days of waiting is unavoidable..."

 3. Third Pitfall: No Local Logistics Resources, Delaying Final Delivery

Finally, after going through all the trouble to clear customs and pick up the goods, they need to deliver them to the final destination. But these small forwarders have no local logistics resources in Dubai. This is the third and last time they cheat you—they rent trucks temporarily and try to spend as little money as possible, which delays the time again. The promised 24-hour delivery becomes 5-6 days.

Anyway, they’ve already received the money. It doesn’t matter to them how much you complain or resent it.

 DL Air Freight to Middle East Dedicated Line  One of the Top 5 in China, Everyone Who Uses It Says It’s Smooth

 Nine Irresistible Reasons for Shippers to Choose Us:

1) For domestic logistics, we use our own transportation fleet. It takes an average of 6-8 hours to pick up goods from the factory warehouse to the airport—this is one of our core strengths.

2) We have long-term exclusive rights to 20 weekly pallets from two major airlines. Even capable peers only have 2 pallets—our shipping capacity is 10 times that of peers.

3) We have a priority channel at UAE airports, with customs clearance completed in 2 hours. Most peers can’t do this, and waiting in line for 2-3 days is common for them.

4) We can skip the queue to pick up goods at the supervised warehouse, ensuring the timeliness of local logistics. Ordinary forwarders and small forwarders don’t have this privilege.

5) In the Middle East, DL has mastered many strong customs clearance and logistics resources. Someone answers the phone even at 2 a.m.

6) Urgent orders are delivered on the same day: goods sent in the morning arrive at noon, and goods sent at noon arrive in the afternoon. It’s a door-to-door dedicated line, but faster than SF Express.

7) Logistics updates are visible in real time. Shippers can check every node—DL cares about the goods more than the shippers themselves.

8) Sensitive goods and high-value products are all cleared safely. There has never been a case of goods being detained. Peers who can’t handle it ask for our help.

9) DL is not only a first-tier agent for air freight to Middle East, but also a considerate door-to-door dedicated line company. It’s worth trying a small order first.
