Hello,

good planning will result in choosing the right shipment mode with cost effectiveness regardless the type of purchase order, how ever the deliver date is the key factor in selecting type of sipping by air or sea ... bulk shipments usually processed for raw material or consumables to reduce stock level.

Agree with the answer of Mr. Mohammed Yassin, and if I may add something is that "Courier Shipments" are usually used for lightweight valuable goods which are need fast delivering with careful handling.
