We’re not limited to just one type of shipment. From our Rawalpindi office, we manage:

Air Cargo vs Sea Cargo: Which Should You Choose
This is one of the most common questions we get from Rawalpindi customers, and the answer depends on two things: how fast you need it there, and how much you’re shipping.
Air cargo is the right call for documents, urgent personal items, electronics, or business samples where speed matters more than cost. Sea cargo makes more sense for larger volumes household goods, furniture, or bulk commercial shipments where saving money per kg outweighs a longer wait.
- Choose air cargo if your shipment is under 50kg and time-sensitive
- Choose sea cargo if you’re shipping furniture, multiple boxes, or a full household move
- Combine both if part of your shipment is urgent and part isn’t we can split a booking this way
Our air cargo services page and sea cargo services page go into more detail on each option separately.
How Booking Works
Getting your shipment booked from Rawalpindi is straightforward:
- Contact us on 03085157298 or Info@aircargoqlc.com with your shipment weight and destination
- We confirm a rate and answer any questions about documentation
- You either bring your shipment to our office or we arrange pickup from your location
- We handle packing (if needed), paperwork, and booking with the airline or shipping line
- You receive confirmation once your shipment is dispatched
Most first-time customers are surprised at how quickly this moves once the shipment details are confirmed. If you want a closer look at the process, our guide on how to send air cargo from Islamabad walks through the same steps in more depth.
Documents Required for International Shipping
Before your shipment leaves Rawalpindi, you’ll need a few basic documents ready. Requirements vary slightly by destination, but generally include:
- Valid CNIC or passport copy of the sender
- A detailed packing list of items in the shipment
- Commercial invoice, if the shipment is for business or trade purposes
- Any specific certificates required for restricted items (we’ll confirm these based on your goods)
Getting these ready before you arrive saves time at booking. If you’re unsure what applies to your shipment, our team will walk you through it before pickup, not after.
Packers and Movers Support for Relocations
If you’re relocating abroad rather than just sending cargo, our packers and movers service handles the packing side separately from the shipping side. This covers furniture disassembly, protective wrapping, labeling, and loading done by people trained to handle household goods for long-distance international transport, not just local moves.
This service works well alongside sea cargo, since most household relocations move by sea due to volume. Combining packing and shipping under one booking also means fewer handoffs and less risk of damage between steps. Details are on our packers and movers page.
Why Choose Air Cargo QLC in Rawalpindi
Seven years in this business has taught us that most complaints about cargo companies come down to unclear pricing and poor communication not the shipping itself. We keep our rates straightforward and confirm them before you commit, and our team stays reachable throughout your shipment, not just at booking.
Being physically based in Rawalpindi also means you can visit, ask questions in person, and see exactly how your shipment is packed before it leaves. That kind of direct access is hard to get from companies that only operate through phone lines or third-party agents.
