LTL Shipments: (Less Than container Load): LTL is when various products are loaded into the same container by a shipping line, freight forwarder or consolidating company. We do not recommend LTL shipping for Aqua-Cycles because 1) LTL is very expensive due to the volume of Aqua-Cycles, 2) you have additional cost for trucking them to the point of consolidation and 3) we do not package them for LTL.  We highly recommend you allow us to load a container at our plant rather than ship your order as LTL freight for consolidating and loading by a shipping line.

Container Shipping Charges: These can be either Prepaid or Collect, depending upon what is permitted by the destination port, shipping line and freight forwarder.  Other fees must also be calculated, such as for documents, special handling, insurance, port security clearance, etc.  Any destination customs / duty / taxes / DDC charges are the responsibility of the consignee and are not included in prepaid shipping charges.

Shipping Quotations: We will be glad to request a shipping estimate to the port destination nearest you. We must know  when you would be placing your order, the quantity of Aqua-Cycles® and the destination port. Without all three of these pieces of information they cannot provide us with a valid shipping quote.  Shipping quotes are estimations and subject to change at the time of order.

Air Freight: Is almost impossible, because an Aqua-Cycle is so large.  The air freight shipping cost is at least $4,000 per Aqua-Cycle®. We can ship by air freight for special situations if you must receive your order this way, but don’t even ask for a quotation unless you are prepared to pay a very high rate.

Questions: Call us with any questions about shipping container capacities, the loading process, if your preferred shipping line or freight forwarder can work with us, etc.
