Due to the fact that we are processing an order for a new customer who is also located in a location that we have not previously shipped, I am here to ask for information about containerized ocean cargo to Iceland. We will ship from our warehouse at Long Beach, California, in the United States. We also need to request information about having a 48 ft container so that we may complete the loading. In addition, will you provide an empty container 3 days before the scheduled appointment for a pickup? This will enable us to load the container and not delay your driver. Do you base your charges on the weight and distance of the shipment, or do you use some other metric to determine the shipping charges? The gross weight of this shipment is 43,589 pounds. What is your estimated cost to us for shipping with your company? When will you deliver this shipment to Iceland? We appreciate your prompt response to this inquiry, and we will contact you soon after we have reviewed the information you send. Thank you.
