That's right, there's also really large supply of air freight, which tends to be obscured when small shippers get hugely inflated quotes.
When you ship 40,000 boxes a day, those little boxes are bundled into giant pallets, most of which get shipped as belly cargo on passenger planes with excess space. A quick search shows trans-Pacific rates are quite reasonable these days! http://www.aircargonews.net/news/single-view/news/drewry-air-cargo-rates-index-below-290-for-the-first-time.html http://www.aircargonews.net/news/single-view/news/drewry-air...
