OUR TIPS
We repeat here again to emphasize on the importance of getting cargo insurance when you move home. We have freight insurance, but it does not protect your goods, only part the shipping cost.
For light weight, small volume, high value goods we recommend to either keep them with you or send them by Air freight.
Dangerous goods might cause damages to your belongings by leaking and eventually create acid burns or light on fire and burn the container with it's content. We recommend you use caution when packing your belongings and leave out of the container any elements listed below (please keep in mind that the following is not and exhaustive list, it only serves as examples):

We offer freight insurance as a base, which only covers the freight costs, NOT THE VALUE OF THE GOODS.
Freight, especially ocean freight, can be subject to movement in case of a storm or other situation. Damage can occur, hence why we recommend you take cargo insurance to cover the value of your goods.
We have a specialized service to ship your car along with your goods.
If your volume is below 10 cubic meters, then LCL might provide a more cost-effective solution, however, above 10 to 15 cubic meters, it becomes more cost-effective to go with FCL.
FCL also avoids the handling and consolidation phases which makes it safer compared to LCL.
