Not moving a full house ? Most people request our shared container
service which provides a cost effective method of shipping smaller loads overseas. Shipping costs are calculated on the amount of volume (Cubic Metres) that your packed goods will take up in our 20ft shipping containers.

To calculate your cubic metre volume you multiply the length x width x height in metres. You can also use our handy volume calculator on our quote page. This will give you a guide to the volume of each item of furniture and enter the volume into your quotation request. Check out the calculator here.....

of your shipment once it has been packed and shrink-wrapped to our export pallets.
