Also, every shipping line applies maximum container hold after the equipment is discharged. Usually, it is between 2 and 21 days, although it varies based on where the cargo is shipped. The cargo recipient must unload the shipment and return the container to the port during this period. If the period is exceeded, the penalty is between USD10-50 a day.
Direct International shipping is typically 3 - 29 days, depending on the mode of transport chosen and the final destination of the goods.
Here is a rough estimate: express shipping takes as quick as 1-3 days. Air freight is 5-10 days. Sea shipping can range anywhere from 20-45 days or more.
