SIAM Relocation’s core values

SIAM Relocation always nourished 3 values, shared by all their collaborators

Competitiveness: Their 3 different moving packages will enable you to find the most appropriate one, without regarding your budget.

Security: Their packing and moving teams are well-selected, in order to move your goods fast and most importantly with greatest care. Their customs experts are maintaining a fluid entry or exit of your belongings. Each good is systematically insured.

 

How is a moving with SIAM Relocation unfolding?

The survey of your residence

One of their consultant will come to your actual dwelling to evaluate all the belongings you’re wishing to transfer. He takes them into account by writing a detailed inventory. This survey will take place on the most convenient date and time for you. It can last an hour and half if you have a lot of goods to move. It is free of charge.

 

The packing of your goods

The date of your leaving, a packing team will come at your house to pack all your goods. Their packing staff is highly skilled and trained, they can pack any type of goods, no matter of their shape, weight, volume and fragility. They show a constant focus and dexterity. Their material is extremely qualitative, so the covering of your goods will ensure a great protection. Once the packing is done, the same team will load the truck with your goods.

The packing of your goods is extremely important. Indeed, it is their first and only protection against all constraint coming from outside. Hence, in case of damage inflicted on your personal effects, the insurance will not reimburse you if they find out the packing was made by you, and not professionals.

 

The loading of your belongings in the truck

It is the most sensitive phase of your relocation. Indeed, if the goods are not correctly handled, they can undergo a fall or all other brutal contact. The SIAM Relocation teams are trained and proficient to avoid all misfortune. Your goods will be handled with the highest care.

 

The freight of your goods

Once the customs clearance is processed, you will receive an email or a call if you prefer from your consultant. Your goods will be put in the plane or containerized and put on board of a vessel. Then they will travel by land, sea or air to reach their new country of residence.

 

The customs clearance in Thailand and in the second country

Like previously said, the customs clearance in Thailand is very special, compared to all other country. There is a huge difference existing between the law and its application. Thanks to their skilled customs department, composed entirely by Thai collaborators, there isn’t any misunderstanding possible and your goods will be quickly cleared.

 

The secondary transport to your new house

Once the clearance is done, your goods will be moved by vehicle to your new dwelling. Your consultant will again keep you in touch.

 

The unloading and disposal of your goods

Once arrived in your new residence, the SIAM Relocation team will take over the unloading of the truck, and the moving of your personal belongings in your new dwelling. They will unpack them after and place them in your house as you wish. Your new residence will be ready to live in.

 

The warehousing of your furniture

In Thailand or abroad, SIAM Relocation can provide you competitive furniture storage services, with the highest security. Without regarding of the total volume of your goods, they can be stored during all the necessary time. Their state-of-the-art warehouses in Thailand are watched 24/7 with CCTVs and security staff.

 

The insurance of your goods during their moving

Even if everything is highly controlled, a misfortune can always occur and cause a few damages on your goods during their relocation. SIAM Relocation will offer you their “SIAM Care” insurance policy, in order to be fully reimbursed for the damage caused on your goods.

 

A few advices from the SIAM Relocation experts

How long in advance to organize a move?

It is generally advised to search for the relocation company at least 3 months before the departure date. Of course, SIAM Relocation can handle your request without regarding of the remaining time before you leave. But a relocation well planned in time is a guarantee of no misunderstanding, competitive rates, and peace of mind. As you imagine, it’s not an easy task to plan the packing team, the vehicles, the container, the freight, the customs file…

 

What is included in the quotation?

Each company is quoting your relocation their way. This is what you will find on SIAM Relocation’s ones:

  • Staff and material
  • Inventory
  • Pickup and first truck
  • Containerization (if any)
  • Document fees
  • Technical handling charges
  • Main freight
  • Warehousing (if any)
  • Delivery at new residence
  • Unloading and unpacking

You must keep in mind that the price of the ocean or road freight is based on the total volume in CBMs of your personal effects. For air freight, this is different because the price will be based on the gross weight or on the volumetric weight of your goods. The most important value will serve as a base to quote your freight.

 

For all these reasons, you should not hesitate to contact SIAM Relocation for your relocation in Thailand. You will benefit of their great experience, their important network inside the Thai customs and their international network of movers and forwarders. All of this is guaranteeing the best performance at the best price between Thailand and Vietnam.

Sea freight

Our great relations with carriers in Vietnam enables us to have competitive rates for their services. LCL, FCL, Bulk, Roro, OOG, we can provide you all these services from and to Vietnam.

fret-maritime-icon

Frequent Questions about Sea Freight

volume-sea-freight

From what volume does sea freight become profitable?

Ocean freight is the most widely used method of transportation in the world, being quite simply the cheapest method on the market. Usually, sea freight becomes interesting when you send volume over 2 cubic meters, below that we suggest to opt for air freight. Although you have the choice between shipping by groupage (LCL) or full container (FCL), this method is - unsurprisingly - much slower than air.

sea-freight-ship

Maritime groupage (LCL) or full container (FCL), what to choose?

As you may have understood, when you ship in groupage (LCL - Less than Container Load), you are sharing the container with other shippers. Conversely, when you opt for a full container solution (FCL - Full Container Load), you reserve the entire container. In general, from a financial point of view, we suggest to go for an FCL from 15 cubic meters although the 20ft container has a capacity of 33 cubic meters.

advantage-sea-freight-parcel

What is the advantage of choosing sea freight?

First and foremost, ocean freight is simply the cheapest solution on the market when shipping large volumes. Failing to be loaned, this method is secure and allows you to charter goods in most countries around the world. In addition to this advantage, sea freight also makes it possible to ship prohibited goods by air such as electronic products with batteries.

port-departure-sea-freight-economy

Which port of departure should I choose?

Our team relies mainly on 2 factors to determine the departure (and arrival) port. As a first step (and this is the most important factor), we analyze the international port closest to the starting address. Secondly, we check the prices of the different shipping lines according to the port of departure. We generally select the cheapest method unless contraindicated as a problem of time.

Air freight

FNM Vietnam is positioned in all Vietnam's international airports. This enables us to book classic, courier or urgent freight from everywhere.

fret-aerien-icon

Frequent Questions about Air Freight

air-freight-fast-profitable

When does air freight become profitable?

Besides the time issue that you can overcome with air shipping, this method is generally cost effective (financially speaking) when shipping a small volume / weight: usually below 2 cubic meters or 200 kgs. For all higher volumes and if your priority is profitability, then you will opt for a solution by sea.

restrictions-air-freight-parcel

Are there any specific restrictions when shipping by air?

It is the IATA (International Air Transport Association) organization that regulates all air traffic and therefore air freight. This is an area with very strict rules to avoid technical problems which can turn into a tragedy. Thus, many products cannot be shipped by air such as batteries, liquids, flammable products ...

air-freight-volume

How much and how is air freight loaded?

The price of an air freight solution will depend on multiple factors. Obviously, you will find the weight, the volume, the point of departure and arrival but not only! You must also consider the nature of the goods as well as the ancillary steps such as packaging service, storage, truck mileage ... The more complex an operation is, the more expensive it will be. Note that the airline will use the greatest weight between the gross weight (on the scale) and the volumetric weight based on the following ratio: 1 cubic meter = 167 Kgs.

air-freight-plane

What is the point of choosing air freight?

Do you have a time problem? Air freight will be the right solution! As mentioned above, it will also be a competitive method if you want to ship a small parcel around the world. Also note that this is a reliable method of transport since it requires less handling which reduces the risk of loss / theft / breakage during the shipping process.

Rail freight

docshipper-rail-freight

FNM Vietnam can provide rail freight services to the major cities in South East Asia and China. Thanks to our great partnerships with railway companies, their great services are available for us.

Trucking services

docshipper-truck-service

In destination of China and all the ASEAN countries, road freight is a fast and inexpensive way to transfer your goods from Vietnam. Our skilled truck drivers will always transport your products safely.

Express transport

docshipper-express-services

Your goods can be sent anywhere in less than 4 days with express freight. We partnered with the big names of this industry, like DHL, Fedex, TNT and UPS to provide this kind of services.

International freight | Sea - Air - Rail - Road | Customs Clearance

Ship your business with trust

There are diverse methods to ship your goods from/to China. You can opt for the profitability of the sea freight, the speed of the air freight, trucking if it's close, express if it's small, or even rail freight if you go for a happy medium.

At first sight, the process sounds like a complicated adventure for inexperienced importers/exporters who are not familiar with this field. It's not only a question of technicality, indeed the small unseen detail can wreck the entire operations.

We, at DocShipper, don't handle requests as a traditional freight forwarder. We work on a case by case basis in order to dedicate an expert on each operation. This devoted consultant will assist you from A to Z to make sure the shipment is the smoothest possible.

Questions related to Vietnam

What are the methods of transportation from Vietnam?

The most suitable method of transport will be advised by our consultants. It will generally depend on the volume, the weight, the nature of the goods and finally the point of departure and arrival. You are free to choose the method which is convenient for you according to your time requirements, especially that a solution by sea will be much longer than shipping by air, but generally more competitive (except in the case of low volume / weight).

What to do legally when importing into Vietnam?

When you switch to DocShipper, it's not complicated, you don't have to do anything! Our customs broker checks the documentary package and ensures that all documents are in line with the expectations of local customs officers: certificate, license, permit ... Everything is checked to avoid unpleasant surprises and above all to avoid wasting time for you and your business on this more than sensitive stage.

What is an international freight operation?

An International freight is the act of transporting goods from a point of departure to a point of arrival and whatever method of transport you operate: sea, air, rail or road freight. International freight isn't the only service you'll need! Transport is good, but you also have to declare the goods to the authorities, prepare the documents, package the products ... And this is where freight forwarders like DocShipper come in. We are implementing a solution that includes freight but also all the actions necessary for the smooth running of operations.

Can I take out air / sea freight insurance?

In any case, insurance is always available for your goods, it is also highly recommended. Note that you have the possibility of going through our team to subscribe to this insurance, otherwise, you can use a third party agency only for this service, the choice is yours!

How do I check if my products are compliant?

A significant point because it can turn operations into disaster. The slightest missing document and the customs authorities can simply reject to release your cargo, which will incur inspection and storage fees. It is very important to check all documents before shipping. Don't panic, this is something we do on all projects we deal with. If the documents are not compliant, then we will refuse the management of the shipment.

My order is ready, how can I organize the transport?

Has your supplier finished producing the products? Now is the time to prepare for their shipment. Fill out our online form or send all the information directly by email: type of products, volume, weight, dimensions, point of departure / arrival and any other details related to your cargo. If you have any documents, don't hesitate to provide them to us, they will probably help our team to better assess the needs.
