4. Advantages of The U Crate 200
Obviously having all your items loaded in one crate is going to give them
better protection from handling as well as security. The U Crates are also
great for protecting items that will not fit in a box. It allows you to bring
that coffee table or book case as well as all those boxes. It also gives
great protection for any fragile items. The U Crate is big enough to take
your sofa and bed!
Just in case you are wondering, the differences between the U Crate 100
and The U Crate 200.
The U Crate 100 gets sent to your home for loading whereas the U Crate
200 has to load at our terminal due to the size of it. Also at destination,
the U Crate 100 in Europe gets delivered to your driveway or garage
where as the U Crate 200 contents get unloaded into a moving van and
delivered into your residence. If you just have a lot of boxes I suggest
going door to door with 2 x U Crate 100’s but if you want to ship a large
mattress, bed or sofa, then a U Crate 200 is best. If you want, you can
collect the U Crate 200 from our terminal in a hire truck, load it at home
on the truck and bring it back to us the same on next day.

The U Crates are made in Connecticut and shipped out flat packed
and shrink wrapped by truck to each of our terminals after we
receive your order. It can take up to a week to get there from when
you placed the order online.
Watch our you tube video to see how to put it together.
Sometimes we have wooden U Crate 200’s available at the terminals
that you can use for the same price.
6. Home Delivery
If you want you can take the U
Crate 200 home to load, we have a
forklift at all the terminals so we
can load it and unload it from you
when you return. Just bear in mind
we need to get the forklift blades
under the crate to lift it so if the
pallet positions are blocked by your
truck’s body lay a 4x4 under the U
Crate before loading so that we can
slide the forklift underneath.
Obviously do not leave the U Crate
outside to get wet or even damp!
7. At the terminal
Report to the terminal office and they will show you where
to go to safely load the U Crate. Start filling up with heavy
stuff at the bottom. Make it all snug and tight and fit
together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. Make sure
everything has a label on it. You can download labels from
our web site or we can email them to you.
Come and visit us in Charleston SC and save big
bucks by loading your U Crate 200 at our
terminal here. See sample rates here
8. The U Crate gets trucked to one of our main shipping
terminals in New York, Charleston or Los Angeles. It
gets loaded into a shipping container and trucked to
the port.
Leave the rest to us!
9. All Aboard!
The container is then loaded on the ship and she sails to the
destination port. When the ship arrives we offload the
container and take it to our local customs bonded terminal.

containers onto a vessel
10. Once the container is offloaded we arrange to get it cleared through
customs. Most small shipments heading to EC Countries are cleared
through customs at our own terminal in England. There are then no
further customs procedures while transporting to the delivery point. If
traveling to Australia we normally send everything first into Sydney for
customs clearance and then deliver out across Australia from there.
For shipments going to Australia as well as customs there is a
quarantine inspection (AQIS) where they check for prohibited items
like food products, untreated wood, animal products, dirt and insects.
There is a similar random inspection policy in New Zealand called MAF
as its carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. As these
charges vary we do not include them in our quotation and you will be
asked to pay this locally in country before delivery.
Customs Clearance
11. Then its ready for delivery
Once its cleared customs we will call you and arrange a date for
the delivery. Some of the trucks can not carry the large crates so
sometimes your items might be loaded direct onto the moving van
leaving the U Crate behind at the depot. The delivery crew will
bring everything into your new home ground floor level.
To avoid any extra charges, your residence must be accessible
for large moving trucks
12. Marks Quick Tips
Make sure everything in the U Crate has one of our labels on it
showing your name and booking number on it.
Make sure everything in the U Crate is in a box, plastic tote,
Rubbermaid box, suitcase or trunk or wrapped & taped up
well in bubble wrap and cardboard or moving blankets.
A bike takes up less room and its easier to stack other things
around it if you put it in a bike box. You can normally get these
free from a bike shop. It might mean taking off the pedals and
front wheel though.
Do not include any food, human or for pets in your shipment.
Any alcohol or tobacco products will probably be charged
duties and taxes and will end up costing more than if you
bought them locally
Do not ship any liquids in case they leak over other things in
your shipment.

learn more on our services, “how to” series and previous
customers moves.
13. Most Importantly
Do not book with an unlicensed Mover,
Freight Forwarder or Shipping Company.
There are many rogues in this business
who will take your shipment and hold it
hostage for more money. If you use an
FMC approved company you have
protection through the Government’s
Federal Maritime Commission. We have
large financial bonds in place and strict
licensing rules to keep us in check and for
your consumer protection.
With an unlicensed company you have no
protection and the FMC will not be able
to help you sort things out if things went
bad.
