Self-pack transportation means that you pack your goods yourself in the allotted space. Weight is not considered when calculating the costs for such transportation, instead space used and the distance travel determine the costs. This is a more cost-effective mode of transport than full-service transport. You will be responsible for loading and unloading the cargo onto the container. All risk of scratches, dents or damage lies with you in self-pack international moving.

We still provide the transportation insurance on self-pack cargo. This option is very useful for exporters, transporters, importers, auction houses and businessmen who are not sure how much cargo they will need to transport. Maybe they would require less space sometimes and maybe more. They fill up the place as much as required and then they are charged on the occupied space. Sometimes due to the nature of the cargo being transported, clients prefer to self-pack than let the transporter handle it.

You could transport virtually anything using this mode - freight, cars, parts, motorcycles and of course, furniture, appliances, and household goods. Self-pack international moving is also useful when you have a heterogeneous load of cargo with many different items of shapes and sizes. In such cases the client knows the items much better than the transporter and hence the client does the packing themselves. For offices, organizations or factories that need to move, it is of course advisable to do the packing yourself, as both packing and unpacking is a lengthy procedure in these cases.

The charges will be higher for difficult to reach ports. For accurate budgeting and cost estimates, you need to provide clear details about the space you will be requiring for self-pack, along with the items that will be packed. Our freight forwarders are present at all points along the journey to ensure the best safety and stability for your cargo. Beware of many self-pack international moving scams out there that promise the world but hold you at ransom during the process of delivery. Many have even been known to disappear with the cargo entirely. This kind of problem can be eliminated by choosing a well known established name like USA International Shipping - a company licensed through the Federal Maritime Commission.

The self-pack choice is a very affordable option. It allows for transport of items from even smaller ports, as the cargo is picked up as is (packed by the client), then transported to the main port of departure, from where it is transported to wherever the client wishes. This is cost-effective for both the client and the transporter as well as highly space-efficient. If you are fond of packing your goods yourself, then this option if for you.
