Express shipping offers the fastest, most secure, and reliable solution for businesses seeking exceptional customer experience or seamless door-to-door delivery from Malaysia to the Netherlands.

It is especially ideal for time-sensitive and high-value parcels for three reasons:

• Time Efficiency: Express shipping typically takes just 2-3 working days via scheduled air freight, much faster than sea freight, which averages 10-15 weeks.
