In the past 30 days, we have seen a significant improvement in shipping schedules and vessel wait times from the US to Australia and New Zealand. ANL, CMA-CGM, and Maersk transit times from the West Coast to Australia and New Zealand have improved from 2-3 months to just 22-36 days. CMA-CGM's direct service from the East Coast continues to leave on time each week, with transit times of 32-39 days.
Our team continues to work hard to clear the congestion at our warehouses, and we now have the space available to provide 30-days of storage free of charge on all of your vehicles.
There is a rate increase on direct service from West Coast. There are NO rate increases from East Coast. Further details below.
Significantly Improved Transit Times & Additional Port Call to NZ
The transit time from the US West Coast to Australia and New Zealand has improved significantly. Ships which used to take 2-3 months to reach New Zealand, now take just 22-32 days.
Carriers with service to New Zealand have added the port of Marsden Point to help alleviate congestion. Marsden Point is located only 140km away from Auckland and we have agents there to help with transporting your containers and vehicles to Auckland. If you are interested in the details, please reply to this email or give me a call.

30 Days of Free Storage At Our Warehouses
-
We have loaded a record number of cars and now have additional space at our facilities in California, New Jersey, and Florida. We are again able to offer 30-days of free storage for all vehicles.
-
$10/day for cars stored over 30 days, and $5/day for motorcycles stored for over 30 days.
-
Storage does not apply to cars shipped LCL (single car in a consolidated container). The storage fee stops accumulating when all of your cars and documents are ready for shipping. The time it takes for us to load and return the container will never cost you anything extra.
-
With the congestion cleared, we are once again accepting cars even if the title is not ready.
|
Lien Sales Offered in California
- We have resumed offering lien sales at $500/lien sale when shipping from California.
|
$200 Ground Transport from LA to Oakland
- If you are shipping vehicles from Los Angeles, we continue to offer fast and reliable service starting from $200 to move cars from Los Angeles to the port of Oakland for export.
|
No Extra Chassis Fees
- Because we own our own fleet of chassis, we do not charge you any chassis fees on export containers.
|
No Container Storage Fees
- We own and operate our own facilities and any extra charges due to container storage is our problem, not yours.
