Shipping Options to Italy

We offer a variety of shipping options to Italy, including:

Container Shipping – We provide both Consolidated Container and Exclusive Container shipping options.

Consolidated Container: This is a cost-effective option where your goods are combined with other shipments in a single container. This option is ideal for businesses shipping smaller quantities or those with strained FCL capacity.

Exclusive Container: This option offers faster shipping times, but at a potentially higher cost. It’s ideal for businesses requiring priority shipping or those with large, bulky cargo.

LCL Shipping: LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping is a great option for businesses shipping smaller quantities or those with strained FCL capacity. We offer expedited LCL, ocean-to-air combination, and FCL-to-LCL mode conversion options.

We also offer a reefer LCL service from Italy to Sydney.

Air Freight: For time-sensitive shipments, air freight is a fast but more expensive option. We offer regular flights between major cities like Milan.

Out of Gauge (OOG) Cargo Shipping: We specialize in shipping oversized cargo, including construction equipment, machinery, and vehicles. Our team will work with you to determine the best container and transport solution for your unique needs.
