Returning home to Grenada, building on family land or shipping goods for a business? A container from the UK is the safest way to send a large load in one go. Book a full 20ft or 40ft container (FCL) or share one and pay only for your space (LCL). We collect anywhere in the UK, handle export and sea freight to St George's, help with Grenada customs and deliver to your door.
Full container or shared container

Full container (FCL). You book a whole 20ft or 40ft container for your goods only. It's loaded at your address or our warehouse, sealed, and only opened at customs. Best for house moves, vehicles and business stock.
-
Shared container (LCL). Your goods share a container with other customers' cargo, and you pay only for the space you use. Best for a few pieces of furniture, appliances or a room's worth of belongings.

Full or shared containers to Grenada
A full container (FCL) is loaded and sealed for you alone, perfect for a full house move, a car plus furniture or building supplies. A shared container (LCL) lets you send a smaller load and pay only for the space it takes.
A 20ft container usually holds a one- to two-bedroom home; a 40ft holds a three- to four-bedroom home or a car with household goods.
