Tips For Shipping House Wares And Personal Items
Shipping overseas can become a daunting and somewhat exhausting task. However, Antares Shiping And Services will guide you through the process, managing your shipment from start to finish. Here are some useful tips to help you pack and load your cargo for delivery, especially if they are items of a personal nature.
Be sure to pack everything into boxes and secure it from shifting during transit. Corrugated cardboard is great for this. Wrap delicate and fragile items in newspaper or bubble wrap to ensure that they do not chip, crack, tear or break during transport. If you have several boxes in your shipment, consider using pallets and shrink wrapping the loose boxes together to consolidate your shipment, thus ensuring the safe-keeping of your items. Use heavy plastic sheets to cover large pieces of furniture and/or electronics or appliances.
Next, depending on the size of your load, you will need to decide if you require a 20 or 40 foot container. A 20 foot container has 1,050 cubic feet of interior capacity, and a 40 foot container has 2,200 cubic feet of capacity. To give you a better idea, a 20 Ft container can accommodate the furnishings of a one or two bedroom home, whereas a 40 Ft container will fit twice as much cargo.
