Moving by Vessel or Plane?
At CMS, transparency is key to helping our customers make informed decisions. Shipping via ocean offers a cost-effective option, but it's important to be aware of potential delays due to port congestion and re-routings, especially in light of the pandemic. Transit times range from 2 weeks to 2 months, so we recommend planning your move well in advance, with a booking ideally placed 6 weeks prior. Consider the type of container you need, such as 20', 40', or 40'HC, and consult our experts to determine the best fit for your belongings. While we no longer offer LCL services, be cautious of hidden deconsolidation costs when comparing quotes.
