But, there are some ways to cut these costs. One of them is ordering a full container. For example, a 40-foot container can fit about 100 windows 6 ft 6.74 in x 6 ft 6.74 in (78&nbsp;3\/4&#8243; x 78&nbsp;3\/4&#8243;). Ordering a full container is more cost-effective than ordering fewer windows than the container can hold (we call this LCL &#8211; less than container can load).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the price for shipping?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The estimated price of a window container imported from Poland to the USA starts from $490.

Then, they transport the goods for container loading or deliver them to a given warehouse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time for professional protection and preparation of the parcel with windows for a long journey, so that it arrives in perfect condition. In the meantime, your partner estimates the number of crates the goods will be loaded into. When everythings is ready, they contact the shipping company, which determines the cost of transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are windows shipped?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your windows are placed in stands or boxes that are specially adapted for long journeys of fragile goods. <\/strong>Their structures are resistant to various external factors, such as moisture, shocks, or insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your order is smaller or consists of tiny elements, there is a possibility to send it as so-called general cargo. It is packed into special small boxes, which are then loaded onto a container. In that case, you don&#8217;t need to pay for the entire container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the goods are properly packed, we contact the sea freight company, to which we provide all the necessary shipping documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/windows-from-Poland-packed.jpg\" alt=\"windows from Poland packed to shipping\" class=\"wp-image-48499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/windows-from-Poland-packed.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/windows-from-Poland-packed-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/windows-from-Poland-packed-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"port-in-poland\">2.

Then, the shipping company informs us about the approximate date of loading the container and the departure of the goods. It may take several days. Why? It all depends on the equipment, crew and availability of the ships, because the date of departure is contingent on the free space on the ship. Once the departure date is known, your order is ready for the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your goods are properly packed, the shipowner approves the container as ready for shipment.

Port in the USA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the container arrives at the pickup location, the shipowner should contact you directly or your US customs broker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to ship a container. The first is the collection of the container from the port, which you have to arrange on your own. It is important to do this quickly as the cargo must not remain in the port for too long. Otherwise you may be charged additional fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it is important to immediately contact the shipping company, which will deliver the material directly to the construction site as soon as the container is unloaded from the ship.&nbsp;It saves you several hundred dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> If you have trouble finding the right company, contact your US customs broker. It will definitely help you find the right supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to be aware that you may wait several days for the ship to unload in port. Therefore, make sure that the US company will pick up your order as soon as it receives information from the customs agency that the goods have been unloaded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/pickup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/pickup.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/pickup-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2022\/02\/06091032\/pickup-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-10 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"delivery-to-your-company\">5.
