Honolulu International Movers

Contact Us, and We Will Provide a Free Quote

When you collaborate with Sunset International Shipping, you will always be aware of the actual cost of moving abroad. In contrast to many other businesses, we provide a guaranteed quote. Other businesses won’t be able to provide you with an exact quote until the day of the move because their charges are mostly based on the mass (or volume) of the goods you’re transferring.

On the other side, Sunset International Shipping will tell you a price upfront and won’t change it unless you modify the inventory list. These adjustments may be made at any time up to one weekday before the move. As a consequence, if you choose us, you won’t have to worry about unforeseen expenses and may prepare your budget as well as is practical.

Full Container Load Is More Time-Effective

FCL is defined as a shipment of goods where the shipper fills an entire container with their own cargo. LCL, on the other hand, is when multiple shippers share space in a single container. The main advantage of FCL is that it offers a higher level of security and protection for the cargo since it is not exposed to other shipments. It also allows for a more efficient loading and unloading process since all of the shipper’s goods are in one container. The main disadvantage of FCL is that it can be more expensive than LCL since the shipper has to pay for the entire container, even if they are not using all of the space.

Less Container Load Is Cost-Effective

LCL can be a more cost-effective option for smaller shipments or when the shipper is not able to fill an entire container. It also offers more flexibility in terms of routing and transit times since the shipment can be combined with other cargo going to the same destination. The main disadvantage of LCL is that the goods are more exposed to damage since they are not in their own container and are subject to handling by multiple parties. There is also a higher risk of delays since the shipment is dependent on other cargo in the container.

Full and Partial Packing Options Are Available With Our Company

To make your transfer as stress-free as possible, Sunset International Shipping offers comprehensive packing services for moves both domestically and internationally. This option comes with an additional cost if you don’t want to deal with any packing. Your possessions will be expertly wrapped and packed by our seasoned packers utilizing the most recent methods and supplies, assuring their safe arrival at your new location.

You can choose the partial service if you only need our movers to wrap and manage a fraction of your belongings. Any things that can be packed into fewer than 15 packages can be done so at a lower cost by our team.

Our Custom Crating Service Is a Great Solution for Your Delicates

There are many different types of packing services available from Sunset International Shipping, including custom crating services. We can provide a custom crate for almost any type of product, whether it is fragile and needs extra protection or it is a large and heavy item that needs to be shipped on a pallet. We can even provide specialized crating services for items such as artworks or antiques.

When you need a custom crate, the first thing we will do is come to your premises and assess the item or items that need to be shipped. We will then provide you with a quote for the work based on the size and weight of the items, and the type of crating that will be required. We can usually provide a custom crate within a few days, and we will work with you to ensure that it meets your specific needs.

Choose Between Different Insurance Options

We provide moving insurance for personal possessions because we recognize how essential your relocation is to you. Our coverage plans are made to safeguard your possessions in the case of loss or damage while you are moving abroad. We provide Mandatory Liability and Full Value Replacement insurance as our two levels of protection.

The Mandatory Liability policy offers protection against loss or damage and is the fundamental insurance coverage that is a part of our standard moving services. However, please remember that it only provides basic coverage, paying $0.60 per pound for lost or damaged goods.

Optional Full Value Replacement Insurance protects against loss or damage resulting from any reason, including our own negligence. You can acquire this third-party insurance at an extra cost, but it is only valid for the items that our team packed for you.
