When researching companies to provide container shipping services it is important to understand that ausmove can provide you with many container shipping options. Shipping containers come in two sizes only, twenty foot and forty foot. Generally speaking the average three or four bedroom home will take up a twenty foot shipping container.....

If you have a three bedroom home but have a lot of doubled-up furniture, for example two lounge suites or a lot of bulky outdoor furniture.Then you may need to cull some items to fit it all into a twenty foot shipping container.

This is the exception rather than the norm, so it is therefore safe to say that the average three or four bedroom home with all the furniture being shipped will require a twenty foot container.

A forty foot shipping container for one client is only required if you are shipping the entire contents of a very large home or you wish to ship your car and all your furniture. In this case we can place your car in the same container as your household goods and ship it all at once, as long as your car has already recieved import approval.

The great thing at ausmove is that we provide a shared container shipping service. This means that if you are not taking the entire contents of your home we will only charge you based on what space your goods take up in the shipping container.

We hope that this article has been of use and we look forward to you contacting us regarding your pending move to Australia.
