The majority of international relocation is loading your furniture and belongings into shipping containers. Based on the the amount of furniture and belongings you plan to transport overseas will depend on the size of the container required as well as the speed at which the items will arrive at your destination.
The most common sizes of shipping containers is a 20 foot which holds approximately 30 cubic meters (average 3 bedroom home), and 40 foot which holds approximately 60 cubic meters (average 4-5 bedroom home).
There are a number of container usage options available when moving personal effects via Sea Freight;
Full Container Load – FCL
If you require a Full Container Load to yourself then you will use the FCL method which allows for direct shipping of your goods in your own dedicated container.
Less than Container Load – LCL
Less than Container Load method allows you to send smaller shipments to low volume destinations that don’t have regular groupage services, by co-loading with commercial cargo shared containers.
If you require certain items quicker then we recommend Air Freight.
