There are two main means of exporting your household goods to your next destination:
Sea shipment, and air shipment.
Following are the features.

** Sea shipment

• - For larger amounts of unaccompanied goods
• - Will be treated more carefully (E.g.: better to send a PC via sea)
• - Will take longer to arrive at your destination

• - Can be delivered within 10 days to 2 weeks regardless of your destination.
• - Will work out cheaper than sea shipment if you have small amount of unaccompanied goods/luggage.
