Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a large international move take?
Total timeline is typically 6-12 weeks from booking to delivery. This includes 2-3 weeks for packing and customs preparation, 3-6 weeks ocean transit depending on route, and 1-2 weeks for delivery and unpacking. Express services can reduce transit time but at significantly higher cost.
Can I ship my vehicle in the same container as my household goods?
Yes, vehicles can typically be shipped in the same container as household goods. A car will occupy approximately 20-25 cubic meters, leaving 40-55m³ for household items in a 40ft HC container. This is often more cost-effective than shipping the vehicle separately.
Do I need to be present during packing and loading?
While not always required, we recommend being present during packing to answer questions and verify inventory. If you cannot be present, you can designate a representative. However, you or your representative must be available to sign the inventory list and bill of lading.
What happens if my belongings don't fit in the container?
During the survey process, we provide accurate volume estimates to prevent this. If items don't fit, you have several options: ship additional items via air freight, store items until a second shipment, or leave items behind. Professional packers are highly skilled at maximizing container space.
How is my shipment protected during transit?
Your container is sealed after loading and remains sealed until destination customs clearance. Items are professionally packed with padding, wrapping, and securing. We recommend full replacement value insurance for added protection. Containers are tracked throughout the journey.
What if my shipment is delayed?
While we work with reliable carriers, delays can occur due to weather, port congestion, or customs issues. We track your shipment in real-time and notify you of any delays. Most delays are 1-2 weeks. Temporary accommodation or storage at destination can be arranged if needed.
