Moving to Suriname
When moving to Suriname, it is possible to move your belongings. Please note that not every location in Suriname can be reached with equal ease. Our standard transports leave for Paramaribo and can be delivered in the area. Your goods can be transported by sea freight or air freight. A Transpack employee can advise you on the best method of transport for your shipment.
The costs of moving to Suriname
In general, these shipments to Suriname go via sea freight. Your goods then go into a sea container that can be loaded at your home in the Netherlands or at the Transpack warehouse. Sea freight is many times cheaper than air freight, making it a convenient method of transport. Air freight is especially interesting for small shipments that you need to have in your possession again quickly at your destination.
