International Moving to India: Shipping Options
We will tell you the best way to get your things to India after figuring out how many there are. If you are relocating to India, you have the following shipping options:
# Air freight Express
# LCL Shipping
# FCL Shipping
Air Freight
When you have a lot of extra luggage or a few boxes to move, air freight is the best way to do it. The price depends on how much it weighs. It will be the best and cheapest way to ship if you only have a small amount to ship and no furniture.
LCL – Less Than Container Load Shipments
Quotes for an LCL service are given when you don’t have enough items to fill a shipping container well. Once the packing is done at the origin, your cargo will be sent to the port. Sailboats go out once a week. LCL shipping is a low-cost method of sending packages that do not need to arrive as quickly as Air Freight.
FCL – Full Container Load Shipments
When you have more than half a container’s worth of goods to ship, FCL is the best way to do it. This is because when we book the container just for your goods, we don’t have to deal with as much co-loading and relocating. No extra work is needed because the container will be loaded at the origin, sealed, and shipped as soon as only YOUR goods are in it.When you see it again, it will be in India while going through customs. This is unlike LCL shipments, where freight needs to be consolidated and then unstuffed and separated at destination. This method requires less handling and transport.
