Shipping Bulk Outdoor Storage Boxes: A Guide

From & To UK

Shipment Type:

The most cost-effective method for shipping a large quantity of standard-sized outdoor storage boxes is typically FCL (Full Container Load). This involves filling a shipping container completely with your boxes.

If your boxes are unusually large or heavy, exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits, an OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment will be required. This requires special handling and potentially different transportation methods.

Breakbulk shipping is generally less efficient and more expensive. It's only considered if the quantity is too small for an FCL and the boxes are too large or oddly shaped for easy containerization.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Determine Shipment Type (FCL, OOG, or Breakbulk):

Provide detailed information about your boxes, including dimensions, weight, and quantity, to determine the most suitable shipment type.

2. Packaging and Preparation:

Ensure your boxes are adequately protected for shipping. This may involve additional packaging or securing methods depending on the shipment type and fragility of the boxes.

3. Customs Documentation:

Prepare all necessary customs documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin.

4. Container Loading and Transportation:

Arrange for the container loading, transportation to the port, and Ocean freight. Shipping International can assist with these arrangements.

5. Customs Clearance:

Handle customs clearance at both the origin and destination ports. Shipping International offers customs clearance services.

6. Delivery:

Arrange for delivery to your specified destination. Shipping International can manage delivery to your specified location.

Important Considerations:

  • Insurance: Consider insuring your shipment to protect against loss or damage.
  • Lead Times: Factor in sufficient lead time for the entire shipping process.
  • Costs: Shipping International provides cost estimates for various shipping options.
