Container and household shipping

Moving and settling in

Moving household goods to the islands usually means shipping them by sea in a container or as loose freight, and some companies also move belongings between islands. Ask a shipper which ports they serve, how long sailings take, what insurance covers, how they handle customs paperwork, and whether they deliver to the door or to the dock. Ask for a written quote that lists every fee, including any for storage while your goods wait for pickup. Each listing shows when we last verified it.
