• How do I know what size shipping container is right for my customer?
  Our sales consultants are logistics experts and will always recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective container for your removal.
  If you want to make the decision yourself, however, please see the guidelines below.Exclusive containers

Groupage options
Our groupage service is recommended for smaller consignments where your shipping volume is insufficient to fill a container to capacity. With this option you only pay for the container space occupied by your belongings. You may also wish to consider groupage shipping for extra items you add that can’t fit into your own exclusive container.
With groupage consignments, your belongings are export packed at your home and removed to our warehouse for loading within a steel water-resistant container and shipment with other consignments bound for the same destination, as soon as volumes permit.

• Do you ship motor vehicles?
  Yes. We are specialist shippers of cars, motor homes, motor bikes, boats and caravans worldwide. Upon delivery to our depot we will complete a pre-shipment Condition Survey, isolate the battery, and strategically place silica gel sachets in the passenger and luggage compartments to absorb moisture in the atmosphere.
  Using specialist equipment the vehicle will be protected within the container from the household goods. Alternatively we can provide an exclusive container for the vehicle or can arrange shipment by groupage container service (you pay only for the container space that the vehicle occupies). We can also arrange shipment by roll on/roll off vessel to certain ports. For further information please refer to our car shipping FAQ’s.
• Do you offer storage?
  Yes. Ask one of our experts to give you a storage quote along with your shipping quote. Call us on 0800 085 4105 or email trade@anglopacific.co.uk
• What documentation do you require for trade shipping?
  You will need to provide us with a copy of the photo ID page of your customer’s passport and entry visa (if applicable), and a completed Customs Inventory for any owner packed goods prior to shipment.
  Some countries require a completed customs or quarantine declaration prior to arrival, which we will forward with our Packing Inventory and a copy of your customer’s passport to our destination partners. We will let you know the full list of documents you need to complete.
  Please note it is your customer’s responsibility to ensure they have authority to import their belongings at destination. Please note we are unable to ship your goods without your completed documentation.
• Can we track shipment on your website?
  Yes you can! Our online shipment tracking enables you to monitor the location and status of your consignment in transit when you enter the invoice reference and your consignee’s surname.
