One bill of lading, one point of contact. Magnus handles customs both sides, freight forwarding, bonded warehousing, and last-mile delivery — direct to your facility, anywhere in 30+ countries.
Most sourcing partners hand you the goods at the supplier gate (EXW or FOB) and disappear. Magnus owns end-to-end logistics — from the supplier warehouse to your facility — so you have a single accountable party for the entire journey.
We negotiate freight rates across 15+ shipping lines (Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, COSCO, ONE, Yang Ming, Evergreen, ZIM, OOCL) and offer FCL, LCL, air freight, and express courier options. For high-value or time-critical shipments, we have direct relationships with freight forwarders that prioritise Magnus shipments.
| Mode | Transit Time | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| FCL Ocean (Full Container) | India→US 30-40 days; India→EU 18-28 days; India→Mid East 7-12 days | Volume-based pricing. Best for 15+ CBM shipments per destination. |
| LCL Ocean (Consolidated) | Add 3-5 days for consolidation/deconsolidation | For 2-15 CBM shipments. Cost-per-CBM higher than FCL but no full-container commitment. |
| Air Freight | India→US 5-8 days; India→EU 4-6 days; India→Mid East 2-4 days | For high-value or time-critical shipments. 8-15x ocean cost but 5-10x faster. |
| Express Courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS) | India→US 3-5 days; India→EU 3-4 days; India→Asia 2-3 days | For samples, prototypes, urgent spares. Door-to-door including customs. |
| Sea-Air Hybrid | India→US via Dubai: 14-18 days | Compromise between ocean cost and air speed. Uncommon but useful for select routes. |
| Rail Freight (to neighbours) | India→Bangladesh 5-7 days; India→Nepal 7-10 days | Land-locked or neighbouring destinations. Cheaper than truck for full rail container. |
