- Less Than Container Load (LCL): If your things are not enough for filling up the total container then you can ask for consolidating your goods with other shipper’s goods inside the same shipping container.
- Full Container Load (FCL) Services: If you have a full container load you can negotiate FCL shipments at the lowest possible rate. FCL is not limited to only the move of the FCL Port to Port or Door to Door service or any other combination. It can often involve additional services such as loading with cargo originating from various suppliers.

The important decision regarding which items you choose to ship abroad should be made with careful consideration of many factors. You need to make sure that the delivery into your residences will not cause any insurmountable problems due to, for example, a piano, oversized entertainment center, or furniture. You should consider hallway and stairway dimensions, elevators/lifts may sometimes be too small to transport some large items.
The decision as to what to ship can often be more difficult for those individuals who do not have definite housing arrangement already made. Make sure the articles selected are not only desirable for your new home, but also worthwhile to ship.
Everyone should know their rights with respect to customs regulation. Laws are often subject to change. Information may be obtained from the Consulate's Office, but bear in mind that International Movers representatives are very knowledgeable regarding rights and customs information. |
