Shipping of items
Barrels, boxes and single items in shared container space. You pay only for the space you use.
How shared container shipping works
We keep a consolidation container open at our Adelaide warehouse. You bring your goods in or we collect them, every piece is receipted and labelled, and when the container is full it is sealed and booked onto the next vessel to Monrovia. You are charged for the space and weight of your own cargo.
The shipping term for this is LCL, less than container load.

Packing a barrel
- Use a shipping barrel or a double-walled box. Supermarket cartons collapse when stacked.
- Pack heavy items at the bottom and fill all gaps so nothing shifts at sea.
- Seal liquids in plastic bags inside the barrel.
- Write the consignee’s name and phone number on two sides in permanent marker.
- Give us an accurate packing list. It is used for the customs declaration and for any claim.
