Container Options for UK to Japan Shipping
Choosing the right container type is essential for cost efficiency and cargo safety. We provide multiple container options to suit different move sizes and budgets.
20ft Container
A 20ft container is suitable for smaller household moves or compact shipments. It typically accommodates the contents of a two to three-bedroom property. This option offers secure, dedicated space while keeping shipping costs manageable. It is ideal for individuals or small families relocating to Japan.
40ft Container
A 40ft container is used in bigger household migrations or in relocation of business. It serves as a good area to house the contents of a four or five bedroom house or a sizeable office furniture. This is a good alternative as all the goods are shipped in a secure shipment. It is ideal in cases where the family or the business needs a high amount of cargo space.
Part-load Container
Shared container shipping is also referred to as part-load shipping whereby you share container space with other customers. This will be an economical method in handling smaller loads that do not need a container. You pay per space used hence it is a cost effective alternative when it comes to partial house relocation or limited merchandise.
Full-load Container
A full-load container offers a container with its own privacy to ship. This will guarantee full security, less handling, and enhanced transit coordination. It suits well when relocating a large household or undertaking business deliveries or where confidentiality and personal space is an issue.
