Cheap Cost Of Shipping A Container To Kenya

How Much Does It Cost To Ship A Container To Kenya?

Are you moving to Kenya and don't know where to start looking for a container shipping service to move your valuables or office? It's natural to feel exhausted due to your work schedule and the process. You could also be an entrepreneur looking for new business opportunities and need to hire a carrier to clear and move your former business.

Three Movers, with years of experience in customer assistance, will provide you with various lists and competent advice to make everything go well. We are here to give you a solution tailored to your specific needs.

What Are the Factors That Affect the Cost of Shipping?

You must be aware of various factors contributing to your final price. It's fairly common to be misled and pay more than you should have. We supply you with quality service and advise you on how to make the most cost-effective decision.

  • The weight of your entire shipment or contents determines the various container sizes. They can be 20', 20' cube, 40', 40' cube, flat-racked, open-topped, or reefers. Complying with government rules for restricted materials, which can include communistic materials, booze, narcotic narcotics, weaponry, and ammunition, amongst a variety of other things, is also required.
  • Kenya and the United States are separated by 8,533 miles, a significant distance from other nearby locations. The most extended and quickest trip times to Kenya are 54 days and 4 days, respectively, and you can choose between them depending on your urgency.
  • The peak season in the United States is August to October, when we have many receptacle-moving requests. As a result, unique containers and cars are more challenging to arrange, resulting in a rate increase from the base price at other times.

What Size of Container Is According to Your Requirements?

Three Movers offers a variety of container types and sizes. For their longevity, they may require a cold or dry setting, which the shipping company takes care of.

Some of these are:

  • High Cube Containers
  • Open Top Crates
  • Thermal Receptacle
  • Refrigerated ISO
  • Half-Height Container
Ocean shipping services, sea freight shipping

Instant Charges For Carrying

Then there's the category of owning a container in its entirety or in part, which includes:

  • Parties who wish to load their packages securely and safely away from others choose Full Containers (FCL). At times, various forms of material are used, and caution must be exercised about segregation. The 40 ', for example, can cost up to $2,893.00, while the 20' starts at $2,128.50 for a full receptacle load shipping.
  • Less-than-a-container (LCL) is a viable option for multiple ownership and cost-cutting. It can load 20,000 pounds, which is less than the former. The charges might begin as low as $116.60 per cubic meter.

What Are the Types of Carriers for Relocating?

Our company provides air cargo and ocean freight services from The United States to Kenya.

Airways are more expensive but the best option when you need to move urgently. Your containers will arrive in 4 to 5 business days. However, there are weight restrictions with this choice.

Ocean shipping, on the other hand, is less expensive. You may load your ships with up to 45,000 pounds of cargo, including vehicles and heavy electronics. The transportation alternatives differ from one port to the next. For example, moving from Minneapolis to Mombasa might cost 3,871 dollars, whereas shifting from Greensboro to Mombasa charge only 2,660 dollars.
