Shipping freight internationally is easy with Freightquote. Below is a diagram to
show you how international freight works.
In both cases your freight will be
loaded onto a truck first and then
onto the appropriate port or airport.
After either shipping by ocean or
shipping by air internationally, you
can have your freight picked up at
the port or have another truck drive
it to your location.
Types of container shipping
Freightquote gives both ocean and air freight quotes to most countries around
the globe. There are a few different ways to ship internationally.
Full container (FCL)
Containers come in many different sizes. With this mode of shipping, you use the
entire container for your shipment. If you have lots of freight to move, this is
your best choice. No one else’s freight is combined with yours.
Less-than-container (LCL)
LCL freight, just like LTL, is where we combine your freight with other freight to
fill up a full container. If you only have a few pallets or crates to ship, this is
much more economical because you don’t have to space you don’t need.
Ocean freight
Shipping by boat overseas is usually more economical then air, however transit times are much
longer.
International air freight
Freight shipping by air is faster but more expensive
Freightquote provides you LCL or FCL quotes by both ocean and air so you can
see side by side the cost differences. You can then pick whatever way you want!
