Volume (m3) Calculation

Most people, request our shared container services which provide a cost effective method of shipping smaller loads services.

On this service, shipping cost are calculated on the amount of volume (Cubic meters) that your packed goods will take up in our 20ft shipping containers. To calculate your cubic metre volume you multiply the length x width x height in metres.

Please note that we will try to use all available space inside drawers, wardrobes, cabinets, washing machines, shelves, fredges etc. We will also use the space on the setting areas of sofas, chairs, and underneath desks and table.
