Which method of payment do you accept?

How long will my shipment take to arrive?

This is an important question to ask shipping companies. We know price matters, but sometimes $200 or $300 less does not mean you got your best deal. Some shipping lines would take almost 3 months to reach their destination. We offer a tracking service the moment your goods leave the port. You can track your shipment through its journey.

When should I pay for my shipment?

Normally we require 50% down before we send trucks to your location, or load in our warehouse, and the rest when it sails.

How frequently do ships sail and how much time I need to request booking in advance?

Normally most destinations have sailings weekly, but some ships would be full in short notice. We ask for two weeks advance notice to guarantee the booking.

Does my shipment have Insurance ?

Insurance is based on your discretion. It is charged extra on your request.

Can I change my consignee info after ship sails?

Yes, but most shipping lines charge correction fee. If the shipment arrived at the destination then you will need to do corrections from the port of discharge.
