What else do I need to know about shipping a container to Puerto Rico?
Before you ship your container to Puerto Rico, take note of the following:
- Prepare your cargo for some bumps in the ride –
- Try and load as quickly as possible – You will have a limited time to pack your container. It will likely be about two hours. Any time passed that, and you will be charged an additional fee. So, try and have everything ready to go and have a plan in mind before you start packing your container.
- Distribute weight evenly across the container – It is important to do your best to distribute weight across the container as evenly as possible. This way the container is less likely to move itself. It is also less likely that things inside of the container slide around.
- Pack tight – Pack items tightly and right up against each other. This way there is less room for things to slide around and into each other during shipping. Bubble-wrap or use newspaper to decrease the space for smaller, more delicate items.
