We often find that those using our Shared Container Shipping service are typically relocating from a 2-3 bedroom home, which can help you get an idea of the space you’ll have. You’ll share the container with other customers, meaning you only pay for the space your belongings occupy, rather than the entire container. Rest assured, your items are shrink-wrapped into a single package, ensuring they remain secure and untouched by others. With our weekly shipping service, your items are transported alongside commercial goods, ensuring quick transport times.
Select our Full Container Shipping service if your move to Dallas is a big one. We typically see customers use this service if they are moving items from their 3+ bedroom home. You have exclusive use of either a 20ft or 40ft shipping container filled with only your items. This eliminates any risk of handling or misplacing items, and they will be safely wrapped with our shrink-wrap packing.
We stand out from the rest because our packing method is unique, it is the safest way to pack, which is shown in our record for the lowest insurance claims.
