Container shipping to South Africa from the UK using LCL (less container load), is the process of shipping your personal and household items within a shipping container that is shared with the goods of other Anglo Pacific customers.

The LCL cost of shipping a container to South Africa is the most economical as the overall container fee is split amongst other compatible Anglo customers.

Each customer using the shared container is only charged based on the cubic volume that their goods consume within the shared container. LCL container shipping from the UK to South Africa is ideal if you are shipping a small home load, or anything less, and look for the most cost-effective shipping option.

If you are sending the contents of a large family home, office premise or maybe even shipping a car to South Africa, you might want to consider FCL (full container load) shipping. With FCL, you will be allocated your own shipping container to fill how you desire; this can be household or personal goods and even a vehicle.

The shipping container to South Africa cost when using FCL is based on the size of shipping container you choose. Your options for container size are 20ft or 40ft depending on the size of your load and each size has its own fixed rate.

Although FCL container costs to South Africa might seem considerably more expensive than LCL, if you are shipping a sizeable load or a vehicle, as well as being the most convenient method, it might also work out to be the cheapest way to ship your belongings.

After you have been quoted the cost of shipping container to South Africa from UK, the last thing you want is to be bombarded with hidden fees and charges. Therefore, we provide a transparent breakdown of the costs right from the start and include all of the major and minor details in your container shipping to South Africa quote.

Our comprehensive UK to South Africa container shipping service includes:

  • A diligent move coordinator to organise your container shipping to South Africa from the start
  • Industry approved packing materials, moving boxes and tea cartons free of charge
  • Teams of movers and packers to pack your goods and create a full inventory

  • We organise South Africa customs clearances and we can assist with any documentation
  • Your load is delivered direct to the chosen home, hotel, hostel or work address in South Africa
  • Assist with unpacking if required and removal of any used moving boxes and materials

Prior to agreeing to our container shipping to South Africa services, your move coordinator will explain your quote in greater detail and provide you with a full breakdown that you can access online.
