Moving internationally is much easier and more affordable by shipping by the sea! In the opposite case, it is possible to run into delays. Our relocation consultants will help you find the right option according to budget and timeline and offer expert advice on how to streamline the process. Then we can calculate your household contents and explain the shipping options (described below) so you know what to do and what documents you need.
There are four main shipping options for international removals and moving to another country
Airfreight: While most household items are shipped by sea over a few weeks, airfreight is a popular way to ship high-value items to their destination (like clothing and electronics). This is highly recommended for Low Volume and Fast Delivery.
Groupage: Organizing smaller consignments from many removals into one shipping container can save you a lot of money. Some consignments may need to be stored for a few months before they can be sourced to fill containers, depending on the popularity of the destination. This service is suitable for Lowest Costs, with No Time Limits.
Exclusive-Use Container: Metal shipping containers are available in three standard sizes: 20-foot (holds about 1 000 cubic feet of contents), 40-foot (holds 2000 cubic feet), and 40-foot High Cube (2400 cubic feet). It is suitable for the following requirements: High Volume (full household shipping), Rapid Shipping.
“Less Than Container Load” (LCL): Not to be confused with “Groupage,” LCL consignments are a few items secured in wooden crates, and are shipped below-deck on ships (to keep rain and water out). This is ideal for processing low volumes and expediting shipments in a short time frame.
