Why do quotes vary so much?
Some quotes are port-to-port only, others include UK collection or destination delivery. Always ask for an all-in landed cost.

Frequently asked questions
Are 2026 prices higher than 2025?
Marginally — across the top 20 lanes, average RORO rates are up 3-5% on 2025. Container rates are flat to down 2% as carrier capacity has caught up with demand on most lanes.
When is the cheapest month to ship?
February and August on most lanes — lowest demand windows in the carrier calendar. Avoid November-December (Christmas peak) and May-July (Australia peak migration window).
