All goods should be wrapped and packed into strong cardboard moving boxes. Larger items such as dressers, tables, chairs, should be blanket wrapped, bed mattress's to be wrapped with thick plastic.

See Packing @ Loading Tips

You deliver goods ready packed to our facility. We arrange the goods in a uniform manner to ascertain the total L x W x H and weight which depicts the eventual price based on a combination of the total Cubic Meters and the total Weight.

A Cubic Meter is equivalent to 39"L x 39"W x 39"H inches, Ocean Freight shipments moving LCL are charged on a prorated basis therefore if you have 3.3 Cubic Meters you pay for 3.3CBM not 4CBM.

Pallets Versus Crates ?

No doubt a crate is the ultimate protection for your personal effects but it is an extra cost. A pallet is cheaper than a crate but boxes simply plastic wrapped on a pallet has not the same protection as a crate, you have to judge for yourself if you have fragile, breakable items, also consider value of your goods.

Is the cost of the crate is worth having or not ? A student shipping books and cloths can save money by opting for a "pallet and plastic wrapping" of the goods. If the student has a computer then a crate is the sensible way to go.

Marine Insurance is also an option, crated goods qualify for an "all risk" policy but palletized goods only qualify for a "total loss" policy.

Customers can deliver the goods to our facility by appointment, Consider renting a van or truck if your shipment is large.
