Cost Of International Sea Freight
Shipping by sea is charge by volumes;
The universal unit use is Cubic Meter (CBM). Based on how much volume you have our moving experts will recommend the most efficient and cost effective way to ship your goods.
We offer varieties of shipping method such as 40ft. containers and 20ft. containers, plus we can bring a container directly to your house in Phuket from the main port in Bangkok so you can be the one to lock the container yourself.
DIMENSION – CUBIC METERS Sea freight pricing is based on the volume of goods which is calculated by cubic meters. It’s quite difficult to estimate this if you’re not used to doing it on a daily basis. Our medium box size 40x40x40 cms 8 boxes = 1 CBM or Big box size 57x57x57 cms 3 Boxes = 1 CBM .
The shape of the crate does not have to be 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter it can be any size it is only the volume that is calculated. And we can design the packaging for your items.

Share a Container
If you have a smaller volume of goods we can consolidate with other customer goods going to the same countries to help minimize costs, optimize transit times and and ship it as Less Container Load (LCL).
All LCL shipments are sent in wooden crate to add extra layer of protection and keep your goods in one place. We crate your goods here in Phuket facility, to make sure that everything we received from you will be received in the same condition. All crates are properly fumigated based on each countries specification to meet your destination country import code.
FCL (FULL CONTAINER LOAD) Is to load a full container of goods with only one exporter. ( Private container)
The advantages of FCL: Can clear the goods through customs faster than LCL. Because there is no need to wait for the LCL opening time.
LCL (LESS-THAN-CONTAINER LOAD) Is shared container transportation Which will have several owners of goods together in a container
LCL advantage: Save transportation costs. When transporting small quantities or it's a product that takes up little space. Because there is no need to pay the full container But will pay the freight mainly through Dimension.

By far the most common container used for personal moves are the standard 20 foot & 40 foot fully enclosed containers
Air Freight
There’s no faster way to move – ideal for small lightweight items.
International Air Freight
Moving some items by air freight is the ideal solution for those items you will require immediately at destination (it takes approximately 5-7 days for a full door-to-door service), allowing the remainder of your items to be sent by traditional shipping methods.
Airlines charge on weight basis calculated from either the actual weight of the shipment, or a minimum weight calculated on a set weight to volume scale (volume weight.) Moving by airfreight is ideal if you have a low volume or lightweight shipment, with items that are important to your daily life and are needed pretty much as soon as you arrive at your destination.
Our professional packers will secure your belongings on a pallet or fabricate a wooden crate for fragile items, before shipment. After the shipment leaves, you will be given the Airway Bill used to receive goods at other end as well as tracking your shipment.
