Domestic household goods transport<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>Transport is offered from the sender\u2019s door to the recipient\u2019s door anywhere in the country, whether the shipment involves full containers (20- or 40-foot) or loose cargo shipments. All transport is carried out by land using the company\u2019s modern vehicle fleet. Door-to-door service is available nationwide.<\/p>\n
Volume of household goods<\/strong><\/p>\nTransport is available in full containers in two sizes: 20-foot and 40-foot. Samskip Domestic also offers transport of household goods as loose cargo in trucks. When goods are transported this way, there is always a higher risk of damage, as each item is handled more frequently than with container transport. Packing and preparation should therefore take this into account.<\/p>\n
Pricing for household goods transport varies depending on the origin and destination, as well as whether the shipment is in full containers or loose cargo.<\/p>\n
A dedicated calculator<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/strong> can be used to get an estimate of the volume of household goods. However, the final volume is always determined upon receipt of the goods.<\/p>\nTransport and packing<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
In all cases, it is essential to prepare the household goods carefully. As much as possible should be packed in boxes, and cardboard or thick plastic should be used to wrap furniture and appliances. All corners of larger items must be protected. If the household goods are transported as loose cargo in trucks, all items must be clearly labeled.<\/p>\n
Insurance<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
All goods transported with Samskip Domestic are insured. Insurance coverage is based on the value of the goods, up to ISK 10,000,000. If the value of the goods exceeds ISK 10,000,000, additional insurance must be arranged.<\/p>\n
Booking transport<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
When booking transport, the point of departure and destination must be specified, as well as whether the shipment will be in full containers or as loose cargo. It must also be stated whether pickup is requested and whether home delivery is required at the destination. When booking transport for loose cargo, the size and volume of the goods (household items) must be calculated in advance<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nYou can request a quote for the transport<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/strong>, contact one of our customer service representatives<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/a>, or call +354 458-8000<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>Request a quote<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"B\u00fasl\u00f3\u00f0aflutningar](\"https:\/\/www.samskip.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/08\/kubbur_buslodir.png\" "\\"kubbur_buslodir\\"")

- Samskip requires the owner of the household goods to insure their belongings for transport. Most customers already have home insurance for their property, and it is equally important to insure items while they are being transported by truck and vessel worldwide. Samskip staff can assist with arranging insurance.<\/li>\n
- The sender of the household goods is always responsible for packing. In all cases, it is important to prepare the goods properly for transport by packing items in boxes and protecting furniture and appliances with cardboard or thick plastic. All corners of larger items must be protected. Assistance with carrying or handling household goods is not included in the transport price, either in Iceland or abroad.<\/li>\n
- Only one household shipment may be registered per full container shipment to or from Iceland.<\/li>\n

If the goods are not delivered by the stated closing time, they will be shipped on the next available vessel. Closing times are published on the Samskip website under Terminals and Addresses<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n
- For exports from Iceland, payment for the transport must be made no later than two days before the vessel\u2019s departure. Household goods will not be loaded onto the vessel unless payment has been received.<\/li>\n
- The owner of the household goods is always responsible for completing customs clearance in the destination country, as customs regulations vary by country. Information on customs rules<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in different countries can be found on the Samskip website and through the relevant customs authorities.<\/li>\n
- For imports to Iceland, authorization from customs and full payment for the transport must be in place before the shipment is released to the owner of the household goods.<\/li>\n
- Service standards for vessel discharge, handling, and inland transport vary by country. It is the responsibility of the owner of the household goods to monitor vessel arrivals at the destination port and to contact Samskip offices for assistance with the final steps of the transport process.<\/li>\n
- Samskip offers container and breakbulk transport. All transport schedules are estimated and subject to change.<\/li>\n
- The owner of the household goods is responsible for ensuring that the transport vehicle has access to the delivery address.<\/li>\n
- Loading and unloading times for containers vary by country, but are typically 1\u20132 hours, and pricing in each country is based on these time allowances.<\/li>\n
- Container rental, yard storage, and warehousing charges vary by country. In Iceland, these charges apply seven (7) days after the household goods arrive in the country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
