Starting from the end of April every year, Israel slowly enters the high temperature period of summer, especially in cities such as Tel Aviv and Beersheba, where the highest temperature often exceeds 35℃ and lasts until October. For people living in such a climate, air conditioning is almost a "standard configuration" of life - whether it is a house, apartment, office building, or shop, the popularity of air conditioning systems is quite high.

Behind the continuous growth of rigid demand, the import volume of air conditioning equipment has also been continuously increased. According to feedback from local home appliance channels in Israel, more and more Chinese brands have begun to enter this market in recent years, especially split air conditioners, mobile air conditioners, and small central air conditioning equipment with high energy efficiency and strong energy saving, which are highly accepted in Israel. In addition to local dealers, there are also many e-commerce platform merchants who sell Chinese air conditioners directly to Israeli end users through cross-border channels.

However, air conditioners have always been difficult to transport in terms of logistics because of their large size and weight, and they may involve special properties such as electrical and compressors. So the question is: How long does it take to ship air conditioners to Israel? What is the safest logistics method? Is there a more suitable solution?

The actual demand for air conditioners in the Israeli market

Unlike some coastal countries that can rely on natural ventilation for cooling, most areas in Israel have a typical Mediterranean climate or desert climate, with long and hot summers. In addition, cement and stone structures are commonly used in buildings, which have strong thermal insulation but also make it difficult to dissipate heat in space. Therefore, starting from May, local consumers' interest in purchasing air conditioners has increased significantly, especially during the home improvement season (May to July) and summer promotions (such as the Back to School shopping boom in August), when air conditioner product sales often top the top 10 in the home appliance category.

Some brands will choose to ship full containers to Israel, and local distributors will receive the goods and sell them in warehouses; while there are also cross-border sellers who sell mobile air conditioners, wall-mounted air conditioners, air conditioner spare parts and other products through e-commerce platforms, and use air transport or small package channels to directly ship to end customers. The common point of these logistics needs is that they have high requirements for timeliness, customs clearance capabilities, and terminal delivery.

U-Speed: Israel logistics solutions tailored for air conditioners

Facing large and complex products such as air conditioners, U-Speed has been deeply involved in Israeli cross-border logistics for many years and has established a full-link service system including air delivery, sea delivery, small packages and local overseas warehousing, which can not only meet the delivery needs of different sellers, but also escort the customs clearance and terminal performance of goods.
