Relocating Overseas? Here’s How to Ship Your Personal Effects in a Shipping Container

Jul 2

Are you planning a move abroad? Whether you're relocating for work, retirement, or a fresh start, one of the biggest questions is:
How do I safely and affordably ship my personal belongings overseas?

At Royal Shipping Lines, we specialize in international relocation services. From household items to vehicles, we make moving abroad simple, secure, and stress-free.

🚚 Why Use a Shipping Container to Relocate Overseas?

Shipping containers are one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to move your personal effects internationally. They’re:

Weatherproof and sealed
Lockable for security
Ideal for long-distance ocean freight

You can choose between:

Full Container Load (FCL): Best for shipping an entire household. You get exclusive use of a 20ft or 40ft container.
Less Than Container Load (LCL): Ideal for smaller shipments—pay only for the space you need.

📦 What Can You Ship in a Container?

You can ship most household goods and personal belongings, including:

✅ Furniture and appliances
✅ Clothing, books, and kitchenware
✅ Bicycles, tools, and electronics
✅ Personal mementos and home décor
✅ Vehicles and motorcycles

⚠️ Prohibited items may include perishables, flammable goods, and restricted electronics. Our team will help you verify what’s allowed before packing.
