Groupage (Shared Container) Shipping — Port Elizabeth & Eastern Cape
Only pay for the space you need
If you don't have enough to fill a container on your own, groupage lets you share space with other shipments heading to the same region. Your goods are professionally packed and loaded alongside other consignments, then separated again at destination — a cost-effective way to ship internationally without paying for space you don't need.
This is the right option for smaller loads: a few rooms of furniture, personal effects, or anything short of a full household. It costs less than a full container, with a slightly longer timeline since we wait for the container to fill before it departs.
What we handle
Space Allocation
Only pay for the container space your goods actually use
Professional Packing
Packed to export standard so goods travel safely alongside other shipments

Why this matters
Groupage is the practical choice when a full container would leave you paying for empty space. The tradeoff is timing — your shipment moves once the container is full, not the moment you're ready — so it suits moves that aren't on a tight deadline
Who is this for?
This is a household goods and personal effects service — the same specialisation as the rest of DG Move's export work. If you're unsure whether your shipment fits, get in touch and we'll advise.
Anyone looking to keep international shipping costs down and can allow some flexibility on timing
Individuals and families shipping a partial household load who don't need a full container
