International Services

There are three main ways to ship your goods internationally: by ocean container, by airfreight, by rail or truck.

Container shipment

The Container Shipping Market is the preferred way to ship goods internationally.
It allows the cargo to move from in-land point of origin in one continent to in-land point of destination in another continent. The goods travel in sealed container through multiple modes of transportation.
Container shipping utilizes standard size containers, making the handling, management and their storage efficient. 
Containers used for international relocation have the following standard sizes:

20' Standard Container
Maximum Gross Weight: 67,200 lbs.
Capacity: 1,164 cu. ft
External Dimensions
Length: 19' 10"

40' Standard Container
Maximum Gross Weight: 67,200 lbs.
Capacity: 2,376 cu. ft
External Dimensions

Width: 8'
Height: 8' 6"

40' High Cube Container
Maximum Gross Weight: 67,200 lbs.
External Dimensions

Air Shipment

Air shipment is a fast way to send your personal belongings overseas. If you are under time pressure and need your belongings in few days this is the right option we recommend to our international clients. At the contrary to the ocean transportation air shipment weights is very important in determining the price.

Rail road or Truck transportation

There is a substantial volume of U.S. cargo transiting through Canadian borders as well southwards into Mexico. The market is forecast to increase over the next 10 years due to increased global demand.
For people relocating between Canada, Mexico and the United States we use Rail Road or Truck transportation as alternative to the ocean shipments.  Clients can rent an entire Truck or a portion of it, therefore we will have the following services:
• Full Truck Load (FTL)
• Less than Full Truck Load (LFT)
