Choosing the Best Shipping Method for Your Move to Iceland

When relocating to Iceland from the USA, selecting the right shipping method is crucial for a smooth transition. Here are some considerations to help you determine the best approach:

Containerized Shipping Options

• Full Container Load (FCL) vs. Less than Container Load (LCL):
  • FCL is ideal for general loads ranging from 250 lbs. to 45,000 lbs., best suited for solo 20 ft. or 40 ft. containers.
  • LCL is suitable for shipments below 20,000 lbs., where your items can be combined in a shared container.

Factors to Consider:

• Item Quantity and Value:
  • For high-value and fragile items, a solo or FCL option may be recommended for added protection.
• Shipping Speed vs. Cost:
  • Sea freight is a common choice due to its cost-effectiveness, while airfreight offers quicker delivery at a higher cost.

Choosing Between Airfreight and Ocean Freight:

• Sea Freight:
  • Preferred by most clients for its cost efficiency.
• Airfreight:
  • Optimal for urgent shipments, despite higher transportation costs.

Consulting with Our Experts:

• Our shipping experts can assess your items, desired arrival time, and budget constraints to tailor the best shipping method to meet your specific needs and goals.

By engaging with our team, you can make informed decisions on the most suitable shipping method for your relocation to Iceland, ensuring a seamless and efficient moving experience tailored to your requirements.
