Hi,
Three questions... about shipping containers re: moving to Chile.
1. I have enough stuff to fill about a third or half of a 40 foot container, and I'm curious if people ever split the costs of a container? I think that it is cheaper if you ship in a 40 foot container than if you price it out for a smaller load. Are there services that do this, or places where people post their schedules with mutual interests?
2. And if so, if you can share a shipping container from the US, how can you find out which ports you need to send your stuff from?
3. Is it cheaper to send from the West Coast (like Seattle, LA, San Diego, etc.) because it is more direct and the ships don't cross through/across the Panama Canal? Or is there no price difference shipping/moving a container from the East Coast of the US (like Norfolk, Baltimore, etc.)?
Thanks for any leads and/or info.
