Consolidated Container
With consolidated container shipping to Italy, a container fills with goods from other customers. In regards to cars, 2-4 load into a container depending on size. For household goods, the containers need loads of varying sizes until it’s full. This type of shipment is the most popular as it offers the best value with the protection of a container. The tradeoff is the time to ship takes a bit longer as the container has to be filled by multiple customers.
Exclusive Container
We also offer exclusive use of 20 and 40 foot containers to Italy. This service’s benefit is there is no wait time to ship once we have your goods and documentation. When using this service the overall shipping time will be faster. The tradeoff is that the cost is higher if you don’t have enough for a full container since there is no cost split with other people shipping.
