By Air and By Sea
There are two ways to ship your household goods: by air and by sea. Transit time for moving by sea to a foreign
country varies, depending on your destination. When possible, your entire household will be packed into seaworthy wooden
overseas containers, which are about four by seven by seven feet. These containers are usually loaded at your residence,
and then moved by truck or rail from your present home to the port of departure, where they are placed inside a steamship
container and loaded onto the vessel.
For larger shipments, the household goods can be loaded loose into a steamship container, which is brought from the port
to the warehouse of the local agent. The local agent transports the container to your residence, packs and loads your
household goods, and returns the container to the agent's warehouse. From there, we pick up the container and transport
it either by rail or truck to the port of exit and then load it on the vessel. At the port of discharge, the household goods
are cleared through customs and then transported to your new residence.
Moving by air to an international location is becoming increasingly popular. Heavy cardboard boxes or light plywood containers
are typically used. While air transportation is expensive, it may actually be more economical for a family whose home is
immediately available at the foreign destination. It eliminates the expense of a long stay in a hotel while your possessions
are enroute.
Although moving by air means faster service, it often involves additional handling of your possessions. However, rest assured
that your goods are in competent hands as you turn over the responsibilities of moving day to someone else. It is important that
you or your designated representative remain on site from the time the van arrives with the containers until the house is locked.
