ExFreight offers 4 service levels of airfreight wherever possible, Deferred, Standard, Express and Express Direct. Each service level has a different cost structure and priority.

Deferred cargo is the cheapest and is most likely of any to be bumped for higher-paying cargo if the airline has overbooked the flight.

Standard cargo is the most commonly used service and is very likely to ride as booked.

Express Cargo is a premium and is extremely likely to ride as booked (this should be used for anything that is time-sensitive).

Express Direct service is as its name implies, is on a direct flight. Other services may be routed via hubs which increases the chances of being bumped in extreme conditions. Direct service is generally more expensive and faster than the other service levels.
