International Shipping Information


International Shipping Guidelines

At Cheaper International Shipping our quotes and shipping services are offered by ocean freight or by truck freight. If you are shipping an international package we are partnered with a leading provider for air package delivery.  The rates and services for international air package delivery are very competitive.  For ocean freight, a 20', 40' and 45' shipping container is provided from all points in the USA to all points globally.  All international ocean container shipments have scheduled departures. After booking your online account, you will be provided with the vessel name, voyage number, estimated time of departure and estimated time of arrival. The booking system automatically prepares your shipping labels with all the information required on the labels, just print and tape. Depending on the volume of your goods, they will be shipped as a full container load (FCL), or as a less than container load (LCL).
