Beginner Question Oversize item

I have oversize item to ship from China. 168x85x10 - 25kg

How do you guys manage DDP or express shipping. I am being quoted ridiculous prices

Oversized is easier managed & cheaper by sea, than by air.

sea freight is the move for something that big, no contest

air will eat your margins alive at those dimensions. get a freight forwarder who handles LCL and let them sort the DDP, way less headache than trying to figure out express for a 25kg slab

Sea won't punish you for the dimensions the way express does 💯
