The transport options Atlas International Movers provides for moving to South Africa
Sea Container
When moving a full household, a sea container is often the best choice. Your belongings can be shipped in either a 20-foot or 40-foot container, depending on the total volume of your shipment. Our professional packing teams will typically pack and load your household items directly into the container at your residence and seal it on-site. Once the container reaches its destination, it will be delivered, unsealed, and unloaded at your new home.
Groupage
Groupage involves loading several shipments into a shared sea container, often the most cost-effective way to ship smaller volumes internationally. Our professional team will pack your items at your residence and transport them by truck to our warehouse, where they will be loaded into a container for shipment to South Africa.
Air
Air shipments are best for smaller volumes since rates are based on weight. Our professional movers will pack and load your belongings at your residence, placing the export-packed boxes and wrapped furniture into an airfreight box. This airfreight box will then be booked on the first available flight from the nearest international airport to South Africa. After your arrival, your goods will be delivered and unpacked at your new residence.
