How Much Does It Cost?
The overall charges for ocean freight depend on the following variables:
- Locations involved – Costs vary depending on the place of origin and destination of the cargo to be shipped
- Size of shipping – The volume of your shipment plays a more significant role than the actual weight.
- Type of material – Extra charges apply to fragile, perishable or hazardous materials that require special handling.
We enable you to minimize shipping costs via the following two services:
- LCL (Less Than Full Container Load):
- In this service, volume (cubic meter) determines cost. We offer you a chance to save big by sharing a 20-40 foot container with other clients for shipping your goods.
- For orders exceeding a total volume of 6 cubic meter, we recommend shipping your goods in a 20 foot container. However, if you have the luxury of time and wish to save some money, we can consolidate your shipment as well.
- Regardless of weight, the dimensions of individual items must not exceed 224″ (length) x 88″ (width) x 90″ (height).
- The price quoted for shipping includes container-loading charges.
- The exterior dimensions of your box, carton, pallet or crate determine the final price of your shipment. Pricing varies according to your shipment; for an additional cost we can arrange a pick-up from the point of origin.
- To ensure the safety of your belongings make sure to palletize any loose cartons (especially those over 10 CBM) and any furniture, expensive materials, valuables, bulky and fragile items must be crated.
- Orders up to 1000 Kgs (3 to 4 cbm) can be shipped per cubic meter without any extra cost.
Why Choose LCL for Shipping?
Shipping your goods via sea as LCL is recommended when:
- You want to ship large packages; more than 100 Kgs/220 lbs or 35 cft/1 cbm.
- You have the luxury of time and can wait for the transit time quoted
- Your main concern is price – LCL is a great way to save on shipping costs.
FCL (Full Container Load): (Refer to boxes for specifications for container)
- We can transport Containers to your house/storage/loading area via trucks/drays. Truckers delivering your containers will usually allow a 2 hour waiting period, and charge a waiting fee thereafter. Alternatively, for an additional cost, truckers can leave your container for up to a week at your premises, allowing you ample time to supervise the loading process. In either case, we highly recommend that you verify parking permission for your container (for whatever time period) through your city office. If required, you can also get a permit for parking your container for the required time period.
