What do you need to know?

First, you need to know what you are taking with you to your new home in your new country. Are you taking your household furniture and a car or just a few boxes of clothing and personal items. Or maybe a little of both. Whatever you decide to move – get a list together and contact us. We will guide you to either a full container load or have you fill out a rate quote form for a less than container load.

Less than container load shipping port to port is the cheapest option and most customers choose this. You simply get an online quote and book your shipment. We will send you a booking confirmation with a delivery number and your local warehouse address.

We provide packing tips for international shipping. Just make sure your items are packed properly, per the guidelines and that you are not shipping any prohibited items to your destination country. Once you fill out the online packing list, you are all set to deliver or have us pick your boxes up. It’s that simple. Your boxes get loaded into an ocean container with other cargo and ship to your overseas destination. You’ll be notified once it arrives, you will clear customs (or you can hire a broker to assist you) and pick up you boxes at the local warehouse. There are also options to have your goods delivered to your home address.

International shipping doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. Just make sure you do your research ahead of time regarding the import regulations of your chosen country and give us a call or send us an email when you are ready to ship overseas! Instant rate quotes are available on our website 24 hours a day and you can book online at any time. We ship from the USA and Canad and have weekly sailings to over 250 destinations worldwide.
