Partial Shipment
A cost-effective, door-to-door solution for shipping part of a household. Your professionally packed goods share container space with other clients, so you pay for the space your shipment occupies. The perfect balance between affordability and convenience for most families moving to Israel. The typical minimum shipment size is 200 cubic feet.

Common Shipping Questions
Questions Before Packing Day?
Here are answers to a few practical questions customers often ask while preparing their shipment.
Do I need to buy boxes?
For professionally packed shipments, our packing crew normally brings the cartons and standard packing materials needed for your move. Self-packed shipping options require you to provide and pack your own boxes.
Can I add more items to my shipment?
Usually, yes. You can generally add or remove items before packing day. Since the final cost of many shipments is based on the actual packed volume, adding items may change your final shipping cost.
Can I include someone else’s items?
This may be possible, but it should always be discussed with us beforehand. Customs documentation and ownership of the goods can affect how a shipment needs to be prepared and declared.
Do you wrap fragile items and pictures?
Yes. On professionally packed shipments, our crews wrap and protect fragile household items, pictures and other items that require additional protection for international transportation. Special crating can also be arranged when appropriate.
How long does it take to pack my goods?
Most household shipments can be packed in one day, although larger shipments may require additional time. The actual packing time depends on the shipment size, access to the residence and the types of items being packed.
Are there any "surprise" charges?
Your proposal explains the services included in your shipment. Additional charges can occur when circumstances fall outside the quoted service, such as difficult access, stairs, long carries, storage, inspections, unusually heavy items or other services not included in the original quote.
