What is the most cost effective way to ship to Guam? |
Travel Info This pertains to personal belongings including vehicles. Travel Tips Ship from where? From the US check out common carriers like Roadway Trucking. They offer complete pickup, shipping and delivery services from all over the maniland to Guam. http://www.roadway.com/services/foreign/... Hawaii & Guam Roadway provides direct service to Hawaii's four main islands from three west coast ports, with interline service to the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Roadway also serves Guam direct. A Roadway terminal is located in Honolulu, with substations in Kauai, Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Guam. Benefits: Single carrier responsibility from pickup on the mainland to delivery on the islands. Container loading in Chicago, IL; Memphis, TN; Portland, OR; Sacramento, CA; and Adelanto, CA by Roadway personnel. Frequent sailings from the ports of Long Beach, Oakland and Portland ensure the best possible service. Direct contact and communication with your customers through Roadway personnel in the Hawaiian Islands. Single invoice with itemized charges. Full liability coverage on your shipment. Door-to-door service. ------------------------------...

Rating & Billing Billing choices: Flexible billing choices: Prepaid to destination. Collect to destination. Prepaid to the west coast port and collect beyond. Rates Components of a Freight Bill Inland Charge - From origin to Long Beach port zip code 90744. Customer's discount will apply. (This is Tariff 607 or 411.) Wharfage Charge - Based on cubic feet.

Tariff 277 - International hotline 1.800.INTL.REX can spot discount Delivery Charge - Based on cubic feet.鈥?A Hawaii excise tax will apply on delivery charge. Service Center handling fee based on cubic feet with a $5 minimum. Others Are you civilian or military? If military ask your orderly room that question and they will help you. If you are civilian you might google, yahoo or webcrawer your question. Since Guam is part of the US and if you are in the US it is the same postage as Hawaii. Cheers. If US, then the best way is "parcel" post. I lived between Guam, Saipan & Palau and the best way to send my goods was via US Mail parcel post. I could send a 50 lb box for less than $100 USD. Please be aware that shipping from the US mainland to Guam via parcel post can take up to 8 weeks; however, if your moving to Guam, it is the best option. Other wise, you need to rent a container and ship it to Guam at a cost of approx. $6,000 USD with no guarantees on when it will arrive nor the condition of your stuff. Bottom line: unless you are permanently moving to Guam (and I would question the judgment of anyone moving "permanently" to Guam) -- just send your stuff via parcel -- if you can mark it "electronic media it is a fraction of the normal parcel cost. |
