Crown Groupage

Save money on smaller shipments

If you’re not looking to move all your household possessions, our groupage solution provides a cost effective way to ship your items to your new home. This service is available to customers with smaller shipping volumes. By consolidating your personal effects with other Crown customers into one shipping container you’ll still receive the same quality service at an extremely competitive price. 

How does it work?

You will be sharing a container with other Crown Relocations customers moving to similar international locations. By consolidating several customers into one shipping container, you pay only for the volume you need - far cheaper than airfreight or a direct LCL (less-than-container load service).

2. Deliver your goods to our warehouse
3. Consolidating your goods with other Crown customers 
4. Multiple customers share a container
