We specialize in international shipping via air, truck, and ocean freight. Our services accommodate household goods, personal belongings, and oversized items. Clients receive tailored advice on the most cost-effective methods based on shipment size, weight, and destination.
Moving Consultations
Our free consultations help clients plan international moves. We assess shipment volume, recommend packing strategies, and clarify customs requirements. Services include cost estimates and guidance on what items to transport versus replace overseas.
Packing Services
We provide expert packing for fragile and valuable items. Services include material selection, vertical packing for dishes, and space optimization. Clients receive instructions for labeling boxes and minimizing cubic footage to reduce costs.

Custom crating protects oversized or irregularly shaped items during transit. We build crates to fit specific dimensions and include crating costs in LCL ocean shipment pricing. This service reduces damage risks for delicate shipments.

Ocean freight options include LCL and container shipping. LCL charges are based on cubic feet, while container rates depend on size (20', 40', 45') and route. Transit times range from 4-8 weeks, with customs clearance handled by consignees overseas.

Report
This review is in part only for the customer service experience I received while calling for information and not the shipping part of the service. The number I called was from lannausa.com so I believe it is their New York number. I had called to inquire some information about shipping personal belongings to Thailand. The lady that I spoke to was rude and and her tone of voice was very condescending. I told her I have never had any experiences with shipping anything so I have no clue as to what needs to be done or what the process is. Instead of being able to tell me the most basic information
