Household Goods Shipping Can Include Many Different Items

by | Nov 20, 2014 | Transportation and Logistics

It may be surprising how many people do not know what the term household means and the types of goods that can be shipped by international courier. Any product or good that is used in a household is considered household goods. Shipping these items can be fairly easy or difficult, depending on what is being shipping.

In many cases, people need an entire house shipped because of relocation. However, one or two items may need to be shipped because they are broken and need repairing or for some other reason.

Bedroom

Shipping bedroom items is necessary for relocation. Household goods in the bedroom include dressers, vanities, bed frames, mattresses, blankets, sheets, bedding, headboards, entertainment centers, televisions, video game consoles, lamps, fans, wall hangings and more.

While everyone is different, many people feel this is the hardest room to pack up and ship because it includes extremely heavy items, such as dressers. If you have multiple bedrooms, the shipment can be quite heavy and while you may choose to sell or give away some items and purchase new ones in your new location, it may be hard to part with certain things.

Bathroom

In most houses, the sink, toilet and bathtub cannot be taken with you, so these large items will not be part of your shipment. However, bathroom organization items and all the small items will go with you. This includes medication, soaps, shampoo, bubble bath, towels, washcloths and any knick-knacks or wall hangings. In some cases, you can also take your shower curtain, shower rod and shower head.

Kitchen

The kitchen will likely not have many large items but will have many items to pack. Most of these items will be fragile, so care will be needed. Items can include dining tables, chairs, dishes, cookware, knives, silverware, containers, food and sometimes the refrigerator, dishwasher or stove. Small appliances can include small grills, electric skillets, crock-pots, toasters, mixers, blenders, can openers, coffee makers, freezers, microwave ovens and more.

Living Area

Couches, loveseats, entertainment centers, televisions, bookcases, books, coffee tables, end tables, curtains, blinds, lamps, rugs and radios may all need to be shipped.

Closets

Clothing, shoes, purses, bags, organizational items and more could be in your closets, along with table linens and other items.

Other Items

Household goods can also include vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, toys, space heaters, mirrors, computer desks, computers, printers, fax machines, telephones and patio furniture.

Household goods shipping can include everything in your home. Because this is such a large endeavor, you need a great courier, such as Fastway Worldwide Express, India.
