After we receive your booking, we will ask you for a down payment. This is usually $750 for a PALLET or U-CRATE service and $2,000 for a shipping container. There are no credit card fees charged on down payment amounts. We ask you to use our secure online credit card payment page to do this.

For the remainder, due before loading, we accept ACH transfer (we email you the ACH form to complete and it’s like an electronic check) if drawn on a US bank, wire transfer if overseas or you can pay the balance online with MasterCard or Visa, but we charge a 5% handling fee for balances paid by credit card.
