High-Value Motors For Air Freight To Middle East: Small Forwarders Risk Loss, DL Delivers In 5 Days
Muhammad had a batch of high-tech CNC motors to send via air freight to Middle East. Due to the high value of the goods, he had strict requirements for the freight forwarder. So he insisted on visiting the company in person to make sure he was satisfied before cooperating.
However, he was disappointed after visiting several companies. Some were too small—just a few people running the show, doing multiple jobs each, and renting an office of only around 20 square meters. Despite their loud advertisements, they were clearly not as good as they claimed and lacked the strength to keep their promises.
Others had chaotic management. Their warehouses were rented, messy with goods piled randomly everywhere. This made mixed-up or missing shipments highly likely.
The current situation of freight forwarders in Shenzhen is "many but not specialized." There are 60,000 freight forwarders in Shenzhen, and over a thousand offering air freight to Middle East. But most are low-end, small-scale with weak capabilities. Only a handful are truly powerful big players—you can count them on one hand. Unfortunately, people outside the industry don’t know this.
No matter the size—even shell companies working from shared workspaces in startup parks—all freight forwarders are using tempting ads. They promote "low prices + high efficiency," such as "covering 200 countries worldwide with dedicated lines" or "customs green channel, 100% clearance."
But when customers need to send air freight to Middle East, they have to find a forwarder. The key question is: how to separate the reliable from the unreliable among all these options?
It’s fair to say that a freight forwarder’s reliability is proportional to its size. Small companies with 3-5 people often lack resources. After accepting orders, they usually subcontract layer by layer, leading to poor communication and opaque information. Would you trust high-value goods with such a company?
Large-scale freight forwarders specializing in air freight to Middle East have grown through honest operations, providing solutions and quotes that meet customer needs. DL is exactly such a company.
We occupy the entire 8th floor of Rongde International Building in Longgang District, covering 1,800 square meters with nearly 100 employees. We have exclusively purchased 20 weekly board positions from two major airlines—this is a top-tier resource that most peers can’t match (most small forwarders only have 2-3 weekly board positions).
Our scale enables us to undertake project cargo for large companies. For example, we once shipped electronic products worth 40 million RMB for Huawei—a company known for its strict selection of freight forwarders. If Huawei trusts us, why wouldn’t you?
For high-value goods shipped via air freight to Middle East, it’s crucial to visit the forwarder’s office in person. If that’s not possible, a video call inspection is a must. Another key factor is the destination’s customs clearance and delivery efficiency—this directly affects the overall shipping time.
Many small forwarders have no local resources. During peak seasons, customs clearance can take 2-3 days of waiting. But DL is different. Thanks to our large shipping volume, we have established cooperation with local customs. As soon as the flight lands, we start the deconsolidation and inspection process. For urgent orders, we can complete document review, payment, and release within 2 hours—many peers even come to us for help with this.
After careful consideration, Muhammad confidently entrusted his high-value motors to DL for air freight to Middle East. Five days later, the goods arrived safely at his designated warehouse.
