Fast train delivery from China
Transporting cargo from China by rail is an efficient and inexpensive way of delivering goods to Russia. This option is faster than sea shipment and cheaper than air freight. This is the best choice for delivering medium and heavy cargoes if they need to be transported in a short time (for example telecommunication cabinets, machines, etc.).
VE Service has an expanded network of consolidation warehouses in China, which allows us to quickly pick up and send goods by train from the cities of Suzhou or Guangzhou. The route runs along the high-speed Chinese railways and the Trans-Siberian Railway: the total length of the route is about 11,500 km.

Goods arriving to Russia this way go through customs clearance at the Vorsino railway station (Kaluga region). Arter that we send them to the customer’s warehouse.
