Full 20' or 40' Container Loads for Consolidated Shipping Worldwide

We Ship from your Door in the USA to
your Destination Port or Door Overseas

THESE 20' OR 40' CONTAINERS ARE APPLICABLE FOR SHIPPING HOUSEHOLD/PERSONAL/COMMERCIAL GOODS OR FOR SHIPPING VEHICLES

3 Methods for Container Shipping:          

1. Live Load - We drop off the container at your door.  You get two hours free loading time, with any additional time needed to load at $85.00 an hour.  The trucker will wait until you have finished loading and securing your goods in the container.  When you are finished, the container will be returned to the shipping terminal.
2. Drop Off - If applicable, we drop off the container at your door, you get 2 or 3 days (or a weekend) to load and secure your goods in the container, and when you are finished, we will pick up the full container and return it to the shipping terminal.   
3. Warehouse/Terminal Loading - If applicable, you deliver your goods or vehicle or both to the closest receiving warehouse/terminal to you.  Once your goods are received, they will be loaded and secured in the container and delivered to the shipping terminal.    

SHIPPING HOUSEHOLD/PERSONAL GOODS -
You pack all small items well in any good, clean boxes and wrap big items or furniture in moving blankets or plastic.  If you have everything packed and ready to go when the container is delivered to your door, and if you and 3 to 5 friends help you load and secure your goods within the container, it shouldn't take you more than 2 or 4 hours at the most to finish loading and securing your goods in the container.  You can buy rope and use the hooks inside the container to secure your goods from moving and shifting during the voyage.  Or you can hire local movers to load and secure your goods in the container for you.  Hiring local movers to load and secure your goods in a 20' container will probably cost you around $300.00, and for a 40' container around $500.00 (*PLEASE NOTE* this is not the cost for shipping the container).  Also, please prepare a "packing list" of what will be shipped in the container and submit us a copy. This is required for customs clearance at destination. 

SHIPPING HOUSEHOLD/PERSONAL GOODS WITH A VEHICLE -
You pack all small items well in any good, clean boxes and wrap big items or furniture in moving blankets or plastic.  You will need a 40' container for shipping a vehicle, furniture, and boxes of household/personal goods.  A 20' container is applicable when you want to ship a vehicle and some boxes of household/personal goods.  Depending on the size of your vehicle, whatever you can fit, including furniture, in the container is okay, but space will be limited in a 20' container.  You can also pack belongings in the vehicle itself and the trunk of the vehicle.  There are 3 possible methods when shipping household/personal goods with a vehicle:

1. If applicable, a 20' or 40' container is delivered to your door, either live load or drop off method, where you load and secure everything, including the vehicle, inside the container.  The container stands about 4' (feet) above the ground on a chassis.  So, you will need to hire a flat bed towing truck to bring the vehicle on a level with the container, push the vehicle inside the container, block the tires of the vehicle, and lastly strap the vehicle down in the container so it will not move around.  The fuel tank must be emptied and the battery must be disconnected, thus a certification stating this is required in the form of DOCK RECEIPT. When you are finished, the container will be returned to the shipping terminal.
2. If applicable, a 40' container (20' container not applicable) is delivered to your door, either live load or drop off method, where you load and secure your furniture and boxes of household/personal goods within the container, leaving room for your vehicle (bumper to bumper), plus a couple of extra feet.  Once that is finished, the container will be picked up and brought to the closest receiving warehouse to you.  You will also deliver your vehicle to this receiving warehouse.  We will then load and secure your vehicle into the container with your household/personal goods - previously loaded by you, and deliver the container to the shipping terminal.  The fuel tank must be emptied and battery must be disconnected, thus a certification stating this is required in the form of DOCK RECEIPT.
3. If applicable, you deliver your packed and wrapped household/personal goods and vehicle to the closest receiving/loading warehouse to you.  Your belongings and vehicle will be loaded and secured in the 20' or 40' container and then delivered to the shipping terminal.   The fuel tank must be emptied and battery must be disconnected, thus a certification stating this is required in a form of DOCK RECEIPT.
