CARGO & OIL COMPANY, we are able to provide you with a service tailored to your
individual needs. Your TINSEL CARGO & OIL COMPANY

2. consultant will be able to identify the most appropriate service option for you
and a brief explanation of those options follows:
Seafreight
FCL (Full container load)
If you are moving your entire home it is most likely that you will need either a 20ft or
40ft steel shipping container to accommodate your belongings. In most cases this means
that we pack your belongings on site and reserve the final day for loading. The container
is positioned at your residence on the last day and all of the items are carefully loaded
directly into the container. The container is sealed and transported to the port for loading
on to the shipping vessel. At the end of the sea transit period our nominated partner at
your destination will arrange for the container and contents to be cleared through
Customs, transported to your new residence and unloaded, unpacked and place the items
directly in to your new home and dispose of the used packing debris. This is a basic
explanation as there are exceptions based on local Customs requirements and
circumstances such as difficult access to residence, etc but for the most part this is how
an FCL move progresses.
LCL (Less than container load)
For moves where the volume to be shipped does not require the use of a full container,
LCL is the next best option. Your belongings would be fully export packed and wrapped
and with this method, loaded into wooden shipping crates (often called liftvans) which
are steel banded and delivered to the shipping company by TINSEL CARGO & OIL
COMPANY.
The shipping company would then containerise the crates with other freight and ship on
a scheduled departure. Upon arrival at the destination, our nominated partner would
provide the normal Customs clearance, collect the crates from the shipping lines local
terminal and deliver them to your residence, unpack and remove the used debris and
crates for disposal.
Groupage (Shared/consolidated container method)
This method is perfect for the client with just a few items to ship and under no time
pressure for the items to arrive at the destination point. Your belongings are export
packed and wrapped and returned to our depot. Unlike LCL they are not loaded into
shipping crates but remain in our transit area pending consolidation with other clients’
belongings, destined for the same area, until such time as we have enough volume to fill a
shipping container. Once the container is shipped and arrives at the destination port our
nominated partner will process the shipment through Customs, deliver and unpack
everything and remove the used debris.

3. Groupage tends to be the cheapest method of shipment as by sharing the container space
we can reward you with lower shipping costs. There is also the savings to be gained by
not placing the items in shipping crates. The main drawback of groupage is that it can
sometimes take a while to consolidate the right sized shipments together going to the
same destination but the savings are there for you if there is no rush to receive
everything.
Airfreight
Airfreight is of course the fastest option but it is also the most expensive which is why
most air shipments tend to be smaller in weight/volume. Air is often used too for a
preliminary shipment of urgent items ahead of your main sea shipment when long
distance and long transit times are unavoidable.
