International Relocation: Air vs Sea Shipping

How to decide the best way to ship your household goods abroad.

Quick answer

Send a few boxes of essentials by air for speed, and furniture or a full household by sea for lower cost. Many families use both.

Air shipping

Faster, suited to a few boxes of essentials you need soon after arrival. Higher cost per kilo.

Sea shipping

Much more economical for furniture and full households. Choose LCL for a partial load or FCL for a full home.

The common approach

Many families send essentials by air and the rest by sea. CPL can plan both.
