Good packaging is very important. Unless your goods are shipped on their own as either a full trailer (FTL) or full container (FCL), they are likely to be shipped alongside other goods as either groupage or less than container load (LCL) and handled more throughout the shipping process. It is crucial to have good packaging for your goods, especially if they are not shipped alone as a full trailer or container. If they are shipped with other goods as groupage or less than container load, they will be handled more during the shipping process. Poor quality packaging is the primary reason for damage to goods at the destination in such cases. You can either pack the goods yourself or opt for professional packing services. However, Personal Effects cargo insurance cover is only available for goods that have been professionally packed.
We take care of the shipping paperwork, but it is necessary for you to provide a precise list of all the items you are sending. This is mandatory for both UK and international customs, as well as for cargo insurance purposes (if relevant).
The most popular way to transport extra luggage or items overseas is through Sea Freight. Although it may take 3-5 weeks for items to arrive at their destination port, it is cheaper than Air Freight. Those who are sending the contents of a 3-4 bedroom house will use a 20ft or 40ft container, but for those who only need to send 1-10 boxes of personal effects, Sea Freight is the most affordable and convenient option. It is possible to share containers with other shippers to further reduce costs. With daily collection services throughout the UK, Sea Freight is now a more cost-effective and time-saving option.
The process of air freight involves transporting goods by plane, which is generally more expensive than sea freight. However, it is a much faster way to send personal items overseas. Air freight costs are also more affected by weight than sea freight. Our company can handle single shipments or complex freight management programs, and we offer personalized and flexible services to all customers. We also provide time-definite delivery and specialized services to meet specific needs. We can receive cargo at any UK airport or collect from anywhere in the UK. We offer competitive air freight tariffs and can provide cost-effective solutions for moving entire households. Personal effects shipping involves shipping everyday items such as clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics across countries or internationally.
