1. Preparing for Aliyah.
Preparing for aliyah is very exciting and a lot of work. The earlier you get started the better prepared you will be before you leave.
What to Take. At some point, you will need to go through your house and determine what you will take in your shipment. There are a number of factors (electrical, value, sentimental value, size, etc.) that should guide you in planning for your shipment.
Calculate Your Load. To help you further, we have designed the Aliyah Lift Calculator spreadsheet to calculate the volume of your shipment.
The Aliyah Lift Calculator is loaded with the volumes of common-sized household items, plus it can be customized to include your non-standard items - continually calculating the volume as you progress.
To receive your FREE Aliyah Lift Calculator please send an email to: AliyahLift@gmail.com and yours will be sent soon. Please remember - all volumes are approximate and not every space in the container will get filled.
Free Rate Quote. To get a free shipping rate quote, just complete the FREE Quote Request to the right. Please include as much information about your shipment size as you can in the "Additional Notes" text box. (Please remember - all written quotes are valid for 30 days, and "ballpark" prices are not binding.)
Timing. Timing is directly related to sanity. Living without furniture is hard on families. We will work with you and your time constraints so that your lifestyle is minimally disrupted.
The time between loading your aliyah shipment and your aliyah flight is an excellent time to visit family or friends - giving you a chance to relax and spend some quality time with those that you love.
Our goal is to make shipping your aliyah shipment simple and easy.
2. Your Shipping Options.
When shipping your personal belonging to Israel you have two options, depending on the amount of freight you have.
Partial Lift. This is when you do not take enough to justify the cost of a full container. Your freight gets combined with other orders and loaded into a container and shipped when the container is full. Containers are filled on a continual basis (once or twice a month) and shipped when full.
Lift or Container. When shipping a container you have 3 sizes to choose from.
20' Container
40' Container* The 40' HC is similar to the 40' Container only 12" taller
Sample Lift. To the right you will see a sample inventory of a what a 20' container can hold. The calculations are based on conservative estimations, and therefore, there would be actually more space remaining than noted (assuming all your furniture is not over-stuffed and bulky).
3. The Shipping Process.
How It Works. The shipping evolution can be broken down into 5 steps: Packing, Loading, Shipping, Customs, and Delivery.
Packing. Packing for an aliyah, or for any moveis a BIG task - let us help. Here are some ideas of what AliyahLift.com can provide for you:
- Pack Fragile or Select Items
- Complete Household Packing Services
Loading. Loading the lift/container with your household possession while the container is at your location. Aliyah Lift Shipping can dispatch skilled workers to load your lift, saving you time and energy - or - you can load the container yourself.
After the container is loaded, the container will be transported to the nearest port for shipping.
Shipping. Obviously, this is when your aliyah shipment crosses the ocean to your destination - the Holy Land.
Customs Clearance and Inspection. When your shipment arrives at the port in Israel, you will need to go for customs clearance. There is a slight possibility your container may be inspected by customs officials and verified against the shipping inventory. If not, arrangements can then be made to schedule your delivery.
Delivery. After customs clearing, your container will be delivered to your door.
Once again, and a team of skilled workers will unload the container - putting your boxes where you want them and assembling basic pieces of furniture.
Finally! You are ready to begin your life in your new home in Israel - Our Homeland!
