Sea freight shipments from China, the USA, Europe and other origins arrive into Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth (Fremantle) every day. As an international freight forwarder that serves business customers all around Australia, we are frequently asked how long it takes for a sea freight shipment to become available.
