Out of these options courier will be the most expensive for sure but very fast, might be as high as 3-4 times the airfreight cost. Also not all courier services will accept 200kg as express goods, because hand loading is very difficult in this case.
LCL will cost about 25% of the airfreight but will be much slower depending on the destination, airfreight will be in between, with a transfer time of 7-10 days.

Why don't you ask a courier service for a quotation - most courier services also have a normal airfreigth schedule (TNT, DHL etc).

your "best" may not be the best for your client. you'll have to define that according to what your client's needs are. business cannot exist for itself, but for its customers.

air services are courier and freight

most of the express companies have different level for air and each piece must be under 70 lbs. it does not matter the number of pieces. also dimensions are a fact for express air shipments

for air freigth shipment can use different levels. with many routes and transit times.
you may ask a freighter or a freight forwarder in your area.

LCL is suitable for shipping large order.
Air freight is secure, reliable and provides fast delivery but it is costlier than the courier.

It depends on the time factor if it is a urgent delivery then go for air freight otherwise alternative can be considered depending on the amount of spare time you have with respect to cost you can spend.

Surely, but the shipping cost is definitely much higher. Courier may take 2-3 days or even only 24 hours but this is a viable option only if the goods are really urgent and valuable enough to bear the cost ratio.
