Freight
Shipping From France to the US by Sea: When to Share a Container and When to Fill One
Gallery stock, furniture, equipment: we collect, pack and consolidate in Paris, and our freight partner ships by sea in a shared or a full container.
Two options
Shared container or your own
For a few pieces of furniture or some pallets, a shared container (groupage, LCL) costs less: your goods travel with others and you pay for the space you use. For a full move of stock or a large order, a full container (FCL) is often simpler and safer: it is loaded once and opened at destination.
We help you decide, collect and check everything in Paris, pack or crate what needs it, and hand it to our freight partner, who books the ship and handles the papers.
Real requests
From the Desk
Gallery stock moved from Paris to New York with packing, crating and a full container. Luxury furniture shipped from France to California. Fixtures from a closed pop up store stored for two months, then shipped to London.
What we need
To compare both options
The list of items, approximate volume and weight, their value, where they are, the destination address and the date you need them. You get one plan, one quote and photos at each step.
