My husband is in the Marine Corps and last year we had to move from San Diego to Okinawa, Japan. At first, the thought of moving our home over 6,000 miles with two toddlers seemed impossible, but after speaking with Current International, I felt a lot more confident about everything. They walked me through every step and provided detailed instructions along the way. This made what seemed like an overwhelming process turn out to be very simple in the end. We will 1,000% be using them when we get rotated back to the United States. Thank you, Current International! You guys are the best!”
Air Freight
While air transit can be a more expensive mode of transportation, this reduction in risk and the comparatively short time in transit bring other savings. Insurance premiums are much lower for air freight, as are costs associated with packaging and warehousing. Reduced time in transit generates a reduced need for large inventory storage, which can improve the efficiency of your process, saving you time and money. Whether you need to move one kilo or 5,000 kilos, Current provides a high level of service and communication for each shipment.
