Shipping Prayer Rugs via Air Freight to Dubai: Midnight Pickups to Beat Deadlines
Mr. Yuan manufactures prayer rugs specifically for the UAE market, shipping them exclusively via air freight to Dubai. His business grew steadily – from shipping twice a month to shipping every other day. He started with several freight forwarders but eventually trusted only us. Why? Mr. Yuan said others couldn’t match our speed after multiple comparisons. Some even left goods behind!
I explained the key difference: we lease air cargo space directly from airlines. Simply put, we lock in space for air freight to Dubai. Many other forwarders are second-tier agents. It’s actually common – clients hand goods to another agent for Dubai shipping, only for those goods to end up back with us! We’re the source.
As Mr. Yuan’s business expanded, he set up a design studio in Guangzhou with factories across Dongguan and Guangdong. New challenges emerged: demand surged in the UAE, but factories sometimes delayed production. Urgent orders needed delivery to Dubai within just 3 days. Our direct airline space wasn’t the issue – the pressure shifted to ground transport pickup. To catch the next day’s flight, we often had to collect goods late at night or even pre-dawn.
When Mr. Yuan called, we immediately arranged pickup. Renting trucks last-minute wasn’t practical. This is where we stand out: we own our trucking fleet. To ensure speed, our drivers sometimes hit the road at 2 am or 5 am. Our experienced driver, Mr. Zong, earned Mr. Yuan’s trust over years of working together. Mr. Yuan even has him verify quantities and specs onsite. We’ve never made a single counting error.
With 27 years in air freight, we’ve built two dedicated routes for air freight to Dubai:
1. Guangzhou/Shenzhen direct to Dubai: 30 fixed cargo slots weekly (~6 daily), handling large volumes.
2. Guangzhou/Shenzhen via Beijing to Dubai: Daily flights, Monday through Sunday.
This dual-network (direct + connecting flights) guarantees speed and reliability for air freight to Dubai. For Mr. Yuan’s urgent prayer rug shipments, we use direct flights. Less time-sensitive goods go via connecting flights, saving him about 10% on costs.
Many freight forwarders have operated for 20+ years – surviving that long means they balance price and service well. And while plenty offer air freight to Dubai, few combine 20+ years of experience with dual dedicated Dubai routes. That’s what truly shows a forwarder’s capability.
Mr. Yuan’s booming prayer rug business relies directly on our efficient, reliable air freight to Dubai.
