When planning your move to California, consider sea freight as the most cost-effective option for transporting your belongings. We offer tailored international removals solutions depending on the size of your move, whether you're relocating your entire household or just a selection of items.
Service options for your removal to California
Full Container Load (FCL):
Ideal for individuals and families relocating their entire household to California, the Full Container Load (FCL) option provides you with exclusive use of either a 20ft or 40ft container. You'll have the freedom to pack your belongings as you see fit. While the FCL option may be slightly more expensive than shared container options, it offers faster transit times.
Your belongings will be carefully packed at your residence and loaded directly into your dedicated container. From there, the container will be transported straight to the port for shipment to California. We'll coordinate with our local agent in California to handle customs clearance and arrange delivery to your new home.
Shared Container Load (Groupage):
If you're not shipping an entire household to California, the Shared Container Load (Groupage) option may be more suitable. With this option, you'll share a container with other customers shipping items to California, allowing you to pay only for the space you need. It's an excellent choice for those moving on a budget.
Your belongings will be packed at your home on a pre-arranged date and then transferred to our international warehouse for onward transportation to your new home in California. Your Move Manager will keep you informed about arrival dates and coordinate delivery and unpacking once your container clears customs.
