Container Shipping Options to UAE Dubai
Our top options in regard to shipping a container to UAE Dubai are as follows. The option you go for will depend on your time constraints, amount of household goods, and budget.
Consolidated Container
AKA shared containers, consolidated containers are shared by many customers. Because the container only ships when it’s full, there is some wait time as other customers fill the unit with their stuff. While the more affordable option, it could take longer for your container to ship out.
Exclusive Container
Priced mid-range, exclusive containers have a more predictable sailing timeline. If you can fill an entire 20 or 40-foot container yourself, this is the one you want to choose. While it is more expensive, it ships out as soon as you, and you alone, are done filling it.
Air Freight
It’s a time of the essence? Select air freight for a faster time frame of delivery. It has a higher price point but gets there in days not weeks.
