Exclusive Container
If you have no problem paying more, or if you just have a lot of stuff, you can fill your own 20 or 40-foot container. No need to wait on other customers, so it will ship as soon as you have filled it.
As you can see, both options have their advantages.

How Long Does it Take to Ship a Container to Germany?
This is one of the main questions we get from our curious customers: how long does it all take? We will always apprise you of estimated transit times once your shipping container leaves the port. But in general, transit times when shipping a container from the U.S. will depend heavily on where the departure and destination ports are. It could take up to 24 days to ship a container from Charleston, for instance.
On the whole, goods arrive in Germany faster when shipped from the East Coast. When shipped from the West coast, transit times take longer.
Also, if you chose consolidated shipping, you will need to wait for the container to become full before it can set sail for Germany.
