Why transit times from Asia can change

Routes, transshipment and port congestion all move arrival dates. What to plan for when you order from China or India.

The transit time on a quote is an estimate, not a promise from the shipping line. Three things move it most.

Routing: lines sometimes change the route between Asia and the Mediterranean, which can add a week or more. Transshipment: most cargo to Beirut changes vessel at a hub port, and a missed connection adds days. Congestion: busy seasons slow loading and unloading at both ends.

The fix is simple: order earlier than you think, and follow your shipment on our Track page. We will tell you as soon as an arrival date changes.
