When relocating to UAE, your belongings can be shipped via sea or air freight, tailored to your preferences and timeline. Amex Relocations offers below flexible shipping solutions:
Groupage or shared container – This method is considered to be the most economical method of shipping if you have a home moving volume that does not demand use of a full load container. Also, it is a great method that you can use to ship your large number of furniture pieces. This method allows general flexibility, and you only pay your own move volume rather than an entire container. Groupage containers only exit their terminal once they have been completed filled, meaning they generally ship every 2-4 weeks depending on location. Transit times to UAE port are around 9-12 weeks,
Full container load – This method of sea freight is recommended if you are moving to UAE the complete content of your home or have a specific moving deadline to receive your belongings at destination. Full load containers usually come in 20ft and 40ft variants. A two or moderately furnished three-bedroom home can normally fit into a 20ft container, with the latter being for full furnished three-bedroom homes and larger. Full container loads leave UK port weekly with set transit times to different ports, meaning you will not wait on a groupage container to be filled prior to exit. Full load containers also offer extended security, fewer handling points of your belongings and a speedier transit.
Air Freight – Although this method of shipping goods from the UK to the UAE is comparatively costly, it is an excellent way for those who want their possessions to get shipped in a lesser time. Air freight services exit daily from UK and have an expected door to door transit of between 7-10 days.
