Crown Groupage

Save money on smaller shipments

Crown Groupage, a shared container service to support customers with smaller volumes to move. Groupage provides a more economical service by consolidating your goods with other customers into one shipping container, and it is also more cost effective than air freight.

How does it work?

You will be sharing a container with other Crown Relocations customers moving to similar international locations. By consolidating several customers into one shipping container, you pay only for the volume you need – far cheaper than airfreight or a direct LCL (less-than-container load service).
