Groupage Shipment – The Cost-Effective Way to Move Internationally
A groupage shipment is one in which goods from different clients are combined into one shipping container going to the same destination. Say, two or three clients are moving from Saudi Arabia to the United States around the same time, their shipments can be co-loaded into one container going to the same port. It is a very economical way to do international relocations, particularly for smaller volumes. Rather than shipping your personal effects in a container that is only half full you can use the spare space with others and greatly lower your moving costs.
Sharing a Container for an Overseas Move: What You Need to Know
Pros:
Going for a groupage shipment might be a very wise and economical option when relocating internationally. Firstly, in these times global shipping is faced with a lot of challenges and disruptions, so if you opt for a groupage shipment you will only be charged for the space your goods take up in the container. That is why it’s considered a budget friendly alternative to a private shipment.
As a company that specializes professionally in international moving, we are capable of giving precise estimates for the private and shared container possibilities, thus helping you to see the costs and select the one that better matches your funds and schedule. Besides that, if you pick up our groupage service, the customs procedures and paperwork at your destination place will be less complicated. Since our destination counter partners are very efficient in handling consolidated shipments customs clearance generally involves fewer formalities which may lead to lower duties and quicker processing times.
Cons:
One of the disadvantages of sea freight in shared cargo containers is that the shipping and receiving dates may be less predictable than for private Full Container Load (FCL) shipments, because the containers need to be completely filled before they are dispatched. So, if you want a very fast shipment, this method may not be the one for you. However, international moving companies generally arrange groupage shipments every 2-3 months depending on the demand. This method reduces waiting times thus, the choice is becoming more and more popular. As a professional moving company in Saudi Arabia with extensive experience, we have arranged dependable shipment schedules to be able to offer timely services and to ensure the smooth coordination of deliveries to all the locations.
