Shipping Container Costs to United States of America

Everything is bigger in Texas. Houston is it's largest city and the fourth biggest in the whole of the United States. If you're looking for a cold beer and a rack of some of the best barbecue ribs in the world, Houston will deliver every time. Grab a 10-gallon hat and some new boots and you'll fit right in with the cowboys next door. But the city's not all rodeos and horse riding (of which there's plenty). Houston is known for a variety of companies from aeronautics to financial and oil. It is also home to several popular sports teams, including the Houston Texans (National Football League) and the Houston Astros (Major League Baseball). The city's climate is hot and humid in the summer and cool in the winter, which is similar to most cities in the Deep South. Kick back, grab your boots and get ready for some warm Texas hospitality!

Before you dig into the Texas barbecue you'll need to ship your belongings, which should be pretty straightforward. If you're moving the contents of a 3-bedroom house, a 20-foot shipping container should suffice. If you need to ship more, a 40-foot container will fit the contents of a 4 or 5-bedroom house. The 40-foot shipping container will also hold a car, along with the contents of a 3-bedroom house.
