container?

The first 2
hours are free of charge. Every hour thereafter is $100.00 per
hour. If you are loading a car you will need to make your
own arrangements with a flat bed tow truck. They are usually
$45.00 per hour and can load a car in less than an hour. We
use

6. Can
you take the shipment from my house? Do I take my goods to
your warehouse?
On the FCL quotes we bring
the container to your house and pricing is shown on the FCL
service as Drayage to your door and is calculated by the mileage
from the port, or the rail road ramp if its an inland origin
to your loading area. We can pickup LCL cargo on normal
trucks or Lift Gate Trucks for residential pickups.

For security reasons and to serve you more
efficiently, you must get a booking number first otherwise the

or loading on the vessel. Failure
to comply may result in your cargo not loading on intended vessel.
If your cargo is valued over $2500 APX will need to file
a Shippers Export Declaration (SED) for you. You must
provide the
operations department the necessary information to
complete the SED in a timely manner, otherwise the cargo will not
