There are 6,000 miles of ocean to cross for your cargo to arrive in Guam – the equivalent of going from Los Angeles to New York and back again. The ocean is not a smooth paved highway, but rather comprised of vast, turbulent seas with swells as big as four-story buildings through which sea faring vessels need to navigate.

In order to minimize any damage caused by the often rough trip, the shipping professionals at DGX - Dependable Global Express always take extra care when loading your freight by adding dunnage and cardboard inside the containers to safely secure the loads from shifting and moving about inside your containers. As a shipper or supplier shipping items to Guam, here are a few shipping tips to help ensure your products arrive safely and intact: Always load heavier items on the bottom of pallet, with lighter product on top. Use three to four layers o...

Numerous options are available with shipping ocean freight to Puerto Rico , either by a LCL (Less than Container Load) or FCL (Full Container Load) shipping service. FCL is considered easier because the container is the package.
