Our terminal to terminal economy transport service does not include the use of full service movers at origin or destination. At destination, there are always additional port fees which include deconsolidation charges to take the cargo out of the container and handle at a warehouse. For more info on this, see: <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/economy.htm">Economy Service</a>. <br><br><dd>Economy service is different from <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/premium.htm">Premium service</a>, which includes complete door to door origin/destination services. If shipped via E-Economy service, after paying any/all deconsolidation charges, and after cleared for pickup/hand-over, the consignee/customer can either pickup themselves directly, or hire an agent to pickup and deliver for them. The DDC destination delivery service can be provided either through E-Economy service providers, or by Premium level movers who provide complete <b>inside delivery</b> with unpacking, inside placement, removal of debris on day of delivery, and other mover related services. This Premium level service is definitely the more expensive option, as it is more inclusive and involves more time/effort and labor, as compared to <b>straight trucking</b> to door only - without accessorial services (eg. liftgate trucks, pallet jacks, extra manpower). <br><br><dd>As an indication: full DA-destination agent premium service deliveries, (excluding any collect fees) start at $ 850.00 for minimum 500-lbs/50-cubic feet, 85-cents/lb. for inside-delivery included unwrapping/unpacking by movers, to any normal access point up to 2nd floor, within 15 miles of pickup depot. This would be appropriate for your valuable china service, antiques, very fragile items requiring special attention and other professionally export-packed property. Normal exclusions apply (collect fees, thc, storage, duties/taxes if any, pianos, heavy lifts, extra men, etc; see: <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/accessorial.htm">accessorial services</a>). Only professionally export-packed and unpacked door to door shipments can obtain TGI <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/insure.htm">Travel Guard Insurance's D/D policy</a> (2.8% of declared value, or more depending on destination and policy.) <br><br><dd> The D/D 2.8% premium coverage <u>does not</u> apply for PBO-packed by owner and terminal/terminal consignments. Instead, TGI's "named perils" loss coverage is available (<a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/insure.htm#economy">at 2% of the insured value</a> to most destinations). <br><br> <dd> E-Economy Service destination deliveries with trucking to door (only), can be done for less than premium level movers. These are two different and distinct types of service: Straight trucking to door (economy service consignments) vs complete inside delivery with premium service movers. Premium service commands a higher added-value service cost for professional movers - for inside of residence deliveries (a premium/accessorial service).<br><br> <dd>In addition to professional export packing at origin, Premium Door-to-Door service means the cargo at destination is first routed/trucked from the port (A) to our D/A destination agents mover-warehouse (B), where ther cargo is inspected, and then an appointment is made to "marry" the cargo with a team of trained delivery personnel who then bring to cargo to the clients home (C) for inside delivery, placement/set-up and removal of debris. <br><br> <dd>Economy Shippers who may want additional services are encouraged to either hire an outside mover of their choice (or self-pickup), or remit any such accessorial service fees as may be requested, direct to the destination port agent to help arrange DDC-destination delivery at extra cost. Self-pickups and self-arranged delivery allows an economy minded shipped to avoid the additional cost of Sefco's banking/handle fees from the US side. <br> <a name="lclexamples"></a><br> <UL><b><a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/economy.htm"><font color="#000000" size="4">Economy Service</font></a><br> E-Economy service delivery; case studies and examples <br><br> <ul> <i> example: LCL economy into the U.K.</i></b><br> "Door deliveries with most hauliers means them only taking the goods to as near to the address as possible in the vehicle and then the customer taking the goods from there."<br> <br><b><i>case example: LCL economy into Italy</i></b>; <br> HHG goods being shipped were professionally packed by Sefco's OA export packers in NYC, USA, shipped as LCL cargo from NJ port via Milan port with trucking (only) prepaid up to arrival at Rome terminal. This is an economical method to route such cargo. Sefco's customer makes contact with destination terminal agent based in Milan; requests them to assist with local customs entry, and asks them to charge her directly for trucking (only) to curbside ROME door. Sefco's client settles normal colect thc terminalhandling/deconsolidation fee, and pays the port agent directly for the additional service requested (therefore not requiring any extra handling charge by Sefco, to cover extra banking fees, communications, etc.) The cargo is delivered to curbside door, customer unloads and takes possession of their property. The cost is <u>much less</u> than using a full service HHG/PE DA-overseas mover to pickup or receive at their warehouse, schedule a re-delivery to residence with unpacking and inside delivery into their home. <b>End result: one very happy Sefco customer. </b> <br> <br><b><i>case example: LCL economy into the Republic of San Marino</i></b>; <br> Cargo was PBO packed by owned and received in USA Midwest. and routed the same way (via Milan) as the above Rome consignment. Similar handling at destination, similar client satisfaction as a result. <br> <br><b><i>case example: LCL economy into Japan</i></b>; <br> Cargo was PBO packed by owned and received in USA Midatlantic. and routed via Yokohama then into Osaka in-land terminal, then trucked (only) to curbside door, Kyoto. Client provided labor to off-load, and take inside their home. End result: Another satisfed Sefco client. <br> <br><b><i>case example: LCL economy into Geneva, Switzerland</i></b>; <br> Cargo was PBO packed by owned, palletized and picked up by Sefco's "LCL air-trucker" including a special truck with liftgate and pallet jack (accessorial services) to allow for a ground floor pickup of pbo-prepacked pallets. Routed via NJ terminal into Antwerp and trucked up to arrival at the Geneva terminal. Client pays local deconsolidation thc terminal handling charges to destination port agent, and agrees to pay (direct at destination) an additional agreed amount to the port agent for them to assist with local clearance formalites. Customer hires local mover to pickup from their terminal/warehouse location, for final delivery to their home (for a very economical rate).

In the international HHG/PE shipping industry, there is an analysis given to the cargo: whether it makes for "a good fit?" or not.
