These large wooden shipping crates often come in standard sizes of approx. 200-cubic feet outside volume, holding about 175 cu.ft. net volume within. Using lift-vans may not be necessary if planning to ship household goods within your own exclusive-use steel ocean container, or if the goods are uniform in size so they'll fit nice and neat on a pallet. <p>Lift-van photos can be found in our <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/whse2.htm"> Warehouse Gallery </a> section. <BR> <br> Lift-vans tend to increase the overall gross volume of a shipment by approximately 20% over the net uncrated volume. This is commonly called the <i>expansion factor</i> between the net uncrated volume and the gross after-crating volume. Palletized uniform cartons may have an expansion factor of 10-15% depending on how well everything fits together. <BR><BR> Different cargo, coming from and going to various places, call for different "ideal" packing and handling techniques.

The affiliation helps with common advertising, branding, finding agents for delivery in far off destinations, and sales. Sometimes it means that you are paying more for national advertising. <p> On the other hand, you may also be paying for highly-qualified and experienced manpower (if that's what you need) --people who get the job done right, and go home every week to a stable home/community. Packers can often belong to beneficial unions, and live, work, raise families and vote right in your same area. Of course, "occasional labor" may be cheaper.

There are <strong> major hub </strong> CFS-container freight station warehouses aross the US, in Europe, Asia and elsewhere. The "LCL-consolidation" ocean containers are loaded at these points. They are are fed by a smaller sub-regional receiving terminals.

The driver will either wait at your door for the normal free "live-load" waiting time of @ 2-hrs (depending on location), or we can arrange a "drop and pick" --a situation where the container is left there at your door, parked on its chassis. A couple days later, when you say its <font color="#000000"> ready-to-go,</font> off it goes. <p> If putting an auto inside the container, special procedures are needed for secure-loading as well as documentation for US Customs export clearance.
