by sea.

A
20 feet container can load between 35 to 150 pcs of furniture &
accessories. A 40 feet container can load between 250 to 400 pcs of furniture & accessories. These numbers are, of course, an average estimation based on our personal shipping experience: it all depends on the pieces' size. To calculate the cubic meters' volume, you just need to multiply the three furniture's dimensions, WxDxH; for example: if a cabinet is 70 cm wide (W), 40 cm deep (D) and 180 cm high (H), the operation is: 0.70x0.40x1.80 the results is 0.500 circa, that is a half cubic-meter. |

Of course, this calculation doesn't take in consideration
the fact that several furniture are not big "cubes" like the cabinet of the example:
tables, chairs, etc. have space between the legs, armrests, etc. Not to mention the
space left inside the cabinets, chests, coffers, etc. All these spaces can be filled with small items
and accessories. Ke Chinese Furniture can help its customers with the Shipping & Handling process, taking particular care of the packing and the documents' issue process.
