To get quotes instantly, start by clicking on the Request Quote button on the top right corner.

You first need to select the shipment type on the quote request page. It often makes sense to compare FCL to LCL rates for shipments with more than 15-17 m³ in volume. Note that FCL shipments usually arrive at the final destinations faster than LCL shipments as less handling occurs along the loading journey. Also, this will reduce the risk of damage for FCL in comparison to LCL cargo. If you want to know what LCL and FCL means, look at this article here.

To proceed, select the transport mode and indicate the route. If you don't ship from port to port, please provide us with an address or at least a postal code so that we can calculate the costs of your shipment accurately.

The next step is to specify the details of your cargo. If you've chosen FCL, type in the number of containers that you want to ship and select the container type. Use the Add more cargo button in case you want to ship more than one container type. If you've chosen LCL, enter your shipment's quantity, dimensions, and weight. Here, too, you can add more packages if needed. Please list each package individually; we will calculate the total volume and weight accordingly. Finally, select the date when your cargo is ready to ship.

On top of this, you can select additional services such as insurance, customs clearance or VGM weighting. Please let us know if your shipment includes any dangerous goods or requires special equipment. In this case, we'll create a manual quote for you within three working days. If you need further information about the additional services or the manual quotes just look at the next articles!
