As a leading global relocation company, we always look for ways to improve our services and the experience of individuals and businesses when moving locations. In this blog I explain how our Shared Container service enhances the customer experience. This service is offered across several key trade lanes, including New Zealand, Australia, UAE, US, and the UK, further expanding on our global relocation services.
By offering Shared Container Services, we expect to streamline and improve the moving process for individuals and businesses relocating internationally.
What is Shared Container Services?
Shared Container Services combines multiple shipments from different customers into a single container, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for relocating belongings and goods across borders. We are constantly reviewing this service and adding groupage lanes where we see the need; by doing this, Crown Relocations aims to offer more comprehensive coverage and faster transit times to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
Shared Container Service also allows us to serve our growing customer base better and adapt to the evolving demands of the global relocation industry.
Offering this service signifies a positive step forward in enhancing the company's global relocation capabilities, further solidifying its position as a trusted leader in the industry. With a focus on innovation, customer satisfaction, sustainability and operational excellence, Crown Relocations is well-equipped to provide tailored solutions that make international relocations more accessible and seamless.
This shipping method offers several significant advantages for the customer. The top three benefits to the customer are:
1. Cost Savings
Group shipping enables customers to enjoy reduced shipping costs by consolidating multiple clients into one shipment. This results in cost savings compared to shipping each order individually, making it a more economical option for customers.
2. Environmental Benefits
Shared shipping helps minimise the environmental impact associated with transportation by consolidating multiple orders into one shipment. It also reduces the overall carbon footprint by optimising delivery routes and reducing the number of separate shipments, contributing to ecological sustainability. Each customer will receive a confirmation email stating the amount of carbon savings made by this option.
3. Reduced packing requirement
Consolidating items into larger shipments requires less wood to build shipping crates and bulkheads, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly shipping approach.
With an extensive network of Crown offices, resources, and partners worldwide, Crown Relocations is well-positioned to provide reliable and tailored relocation solutions. By leveraging its expertise in international relocations, Crown Relocations continues demonstrating its commitment to delivering high-quality services and ensuring a seamless moving experience for its customers.
Shared Container Services plays a vital role in reducing our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions by minimising the number of trips made with partial shipments and, therefore, fewer vessels on the sea. It paves the way for more sustainable logistics and helps us achieve our sustainable logistics goals.
