Shipping Portable Solar Water Heating Units

Shipping from & to the UK

This guide outlines the shipping options for portable solar water heating units from and to the UK, depending on their size, weight, and quantity. Shipping International offers various services.

Shipment Types:

FCL (Full Container Load):

Suitable for a large quantity of units that fit neatly within a standard 20' or 40' container. This is generally the most cost-effective option for larger shipments.

OOG (Out of Gauge) Cargo:

Required for oversized or heavy units exceeding container limitations. This necessitates specialized handling and may involve flat rack or open-top containers. Expect higher costs.

Breakbulk Shipment:

Only necessary for exceptionally large or heavy units, or if the quantity is too small to justify a full container. This is typically the least cost-effective option.

Determining the Right Shipment Type:

The optimal shipping method depends on the following factors:

• Dimensions: Length, width, and height of each unit.
• Weight: The weight of each unit.
• Quantity: The total number of units being shipped.

Packaging Guidelines:

Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit. Sturdy cardboard boxes with sufficient padding (e.g., bubble wrap, foam peanuts) are recommended to protect the units from impacts and vibrations. Consider using corner protectors and bracing. For OOG shipments, specialized crating may be necessary.

Cost Estimation:

Shipping costs are influenced by several factors including: dimensions and weight of the shipment, origin and destination, chosen shipping method (FCL, OOG, Breakbulk), fuel surcharges, insurance costs, and any applicable customs duties. Shipping International can provide cost estimates.

Shipping Documentation:

Necessary documentation for international shipping typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and potentially other documents depending on the destination country. Shipping International can advise on required documentation.
