When Timing Is Everything, Air Freight Stops Being Optional
在2024年末,一批万圣节主题商品在洛杉矶港滞留。它在11月10日通过了海关——晚了两周,无法挽回。结果?订单被取消,库存浪费,以及退款请求激增。
在一个交货时间缩短但不可预测性上升的世界中,企业需要的不仅仅是“更快”。他们需要确定性。这就是空运所提供的——不仅仅是速度,还有在供应链的其他部分感觉像是在掷骰子时的稳定性。
At Dafey Logistics, we’ve seen this shift firsthand: air freight isn’t the backup plan anymore. It’s becoming the baseline strategy for brands that want to stay competitive.
What Changed? Why Air Freight Isn’t a Luxury Anymore
Let’s talk about pressure points:
- E-commerce promo cycles are getting shorter (48小时闪购,TikTok Shop直播促销)
- Inventory holding costs are rising globally
- Customer expectations now assume 3–5 day delivery—no matter where the product originates
对于企业来说,这意味着传统的“海运,库存缓冲”模式已经不再有效。缓慢的运输锁定了资本,导致错失收入机会,并损害了品牌信任。
That’s why more companies are turning to
空运从中国到美国 不仅仅是在紧急情况下——而是作为一个常规的、预先计划的渠道。
“速度曾经是一个优势。现在,它是基本要求。”
空运并不昂贵——它是精简的
The upfront rate per kilogram might look high—but compare it to what slow logistics cost you:
- Stockouts and missed revenue
- Extra warehouse space
- Unused promotional budget
- Refunds for late deliveries
One Dafey client, a mid-size skincare brand, switched their top 20% of SKUs to air freight express service. The results?
- 21% 增加客户留存率
- 30% 降幅在加急履行费用
- Seasonal sell-through rate rose to 95%
They paid more per kilo—but moved smarter. That’s lean logistics in action.

“We went from daily ‘Where’s my package?’ emails to silence—and 5-star reviews.” — Dafey client, electronics brand
When Air Freight Is the Smart Play (Even If It’s Not Urgent)
If you’re still treating air freight as a last resort, you’re probably burning margin elsewhere. Here’s when it actually pays off:
- High-margin products with volatile demand
- Product drops or seasonal releases
- Items restocked based on live sales data (e.g. TikTok, Meta ads)
- SKUs sold via platforms that penalize late deliveries
You don’t need to air ship everything. Just the right things.
📌 专家说什么
Some brands now treat air freight as a planned part of their logistics—not just a last-minute fix. A
C.H. Robinson report points out that more companies are using it to avoid stockouts, keep up with fast sales, and deliver on customer expectations without scrambling.

Case Study: 如何一个TikTok品牌将空运作为默认选项
A fashion startup selling viral outfits on TikTok was losing revenue every time a SKU sold out faster than expected. Sea freight restocks took 30–40 days. They were always behind.
我们帮助他们切换到一种DDP空运快递服务,针对他们的10个畅销产品。通过每周发货,我们将交付与影响者的发布日期进行了同步。
The result?
- +38% 平均每周收入
- 4倍更快的库存周转
- Zero customer complaints about delivery times
They didn’t just go faster. They took back control.

FAQ关于空运
一点也不。大多数品牌仅对特定产品使用空运——例如畅销品、时间敏感的发布或难以预测的SKU。把它看作是供应链的压力释放阀,而不是完全的替代品。
这取决于你所衡量的“成本”。如果由于缺货而失去销售、支付最后时刻的履行费用,或者看到退款率上升——空运实际上可能在长期内为你节省资金。它并不便宜,但它是战略性的。
我们处理一切——关税、海关文件和最终交付。您将获得一个统一的全包价格,您的货物将按时到达,没有延误或意外费用。如果您要运送到美国并且不想处理进口麻烦,这非常理想。
