Container Shipping Options to the Netherlands
With three decades of experience behind us, we always put your best interests first. Our process begins with you selecting one of three main container shipping options when moving or transporting your household goods to the Netherlands. Here’s a look at those options.
Consolidated Container
Many people prefer to keep their costs low, and therefore choose to share a container with other customers. This will divide the total price by all customers who are using the container, but that means the container only ships when filled with everyone’s stuff. Delayed transit times can result.
Exclusive Container
If you shell out a few more bucks, you can get your own container. No waiting on other customers, so it ships when you’re ready and you get faster transit times. Choose from 20 or 40-foot containers.
Air Freight
If you prefer your goods to get to the Netherlands in hours or days rather than weeks, you can opt for air freight. You will pay much more for this option, though.
As you can see, all three options have their advantages.
Destination Ports in the Netherlands
We service seven main destination ports throughout the Netherlands, and they include:
✓ Rotterdam
✓ Tilburg
✓ Almere Stad
✓ Groningen
✓ Amsterdam
✓ Eindhoven
✓ Utrecht
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is one of the busiest ports we service, but it’s certainly not the only one. And don’t worry if you don’t live close to any of these ports. We service customers who live further inland too.
Departure Ports in the USA
Your shipping container will ship out of one of these four main ports in the USA, although there may be others depending on the country of destination. The one you choose is the one you live closest to. If you don’t live close to any of these cities, we can drive your belongings to one of these ports for you.
✓ Los Angeles, CA
✓ Houston, TX
✓ Savannah, GA
✓ New Jersey, NJ
