OUR TIPS

Our International Moving Tips

Get geeky about the packaging


  • Get small boxes for your shoes

  • Ensure that there is minimum movement inside the boxes

  • Buy extra protective boxes for your precious goods

  • Identify the items present in the boxes so you can find them back at arrival

  • If you already know the layout of your next home, try to label the boxes according to the room their content will belong to

Get cargo insurance

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.

Do not ship your small high value goods and important documents in a container

For light weight, small volume, high value goods we recommend to either keep them with you or send them by Air freight.

Do not put dangerous goods that might damage your belongings.

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):



  • Any electric motorized item

  • Scooters

  • Batteries (large or small)

  • Electric shaves with battery

  • Flammable liquids

  • Gas

  • Oil

  • Bleach

  • Chlorine

Should I pack myself?

You can pack yourself, we can provide you with the moving boxes. However, be informed that professionals will ensure your goods are packed as safely as possible. We would still recommend you to pack your most high value and precious items yourself or ask us for best practice on how to pack some specific goods.

What are the best ways to pack and protect my belongings?

If possible, we recommend that you pack your small and high-value belongings yourself. Do not mix them with the rest of the goods, as items such as jewelry are not accepted by compliance.


For the rest, make sure to:



  • use good material

  • put the maximum protection

  • use bubble wrap

  • use double-walled boxes

  • use strong tape

  • label your boxes


For absolute peace of mind, we recommend you pack your most precious goods yourself, and use our packing services, which will have the expertise to pack furniture, shoes, etc., most protectively and efficiently.

Should I get insurance?

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.

Can iContainers ship my car?

We have a specialized service to ship your car along with your goods.

Is LCL less expensive than FCL? Which one should I go for?

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.
