Types of shipping
When Dubai Movers are moving internationally, there are two major shipping options available air and sea. Sending your stuff by plane is quicker but comparatively costly while using a container ship is cheaper and slower. At Dubai Movers, we advise that you have to choose ocean shipping, in other words, it’s much better value for money and in addition, you can fit more in a shipping container. However, it also requires a bit of advanced planning. You also have the option between a Less than Full Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL), which is however based on the amount of stuff you’re bringing. Most of the suppliers will provide you with a full door-to-door shipping service.
Cargo OPTIONS
