Can I share a container when moving overseas?

Yes, shared containers are called LCL groupage, and they trade time for money.

Yes, you can share a container when moving overseas. The service is called LCL, or groupage. Your goods travel in one container with other people's shipments, and you pay only for the space you use. It is the ocean version of sharing a moving truck.

Sharing cuts the price but adds time. Your shipment waits at a warehouse until the container fills with other loads. It also gets handled more, once at loading and again when the container is sorted at destination. Plan for a longer and less exact delivery window. Ask for the full timeline before you book, including the consolidation wait.

Packing matters more when you share. Your boxes sit beside strangers' goods and pass through more hands. Strong export packing protects against crushing, shifting, and damp. Our packing services crew wraps and cartons everything for ocean travel. Label every box clearly with your name and destination.

Sharing suits smaller moves best. A one bedroom flat or a partial household ships well as groupage. A full house usually deserves a private container of its own.
