Moving costs are based on the total volume (measured in cubic meters) or weight of your personal belongings. Items can be shipped by the following methoods: LCL (Less then Container Load) where your goods will be shipped in consolidated containers. FCL (Full Container Load) 20ft. or 40ft. or 'Sole Use' container.
LCL (Less than Container Loads)
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.
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.
