Shipping Container Costs to Sri Lanka

Colombo is not only Sri Lankaโ€™s biggest city, but it is also the countryโ€™s commercial capital, as well as being a popular tourist destination. Expats are sure to have an easy time settling into Colombo, as the city is very multicultural, with expats from a diverse array of countries living here. Colombo Harbour is one of Sri Lankaโ€™s busiest ports and one of Asiaโ€™s most important terminals, due to its location. The National Museum is not only a stunning landmark to look at, but also a brilliant place to visit to learn about Sri Lankaโ€™s colourful history. Revel in Colomboโ€™s natural beauty by visiting one of the cityโ€™s most prominent features, Viharamahadevi Park, which has a mini zoo, several water fountains and a large statue of Buddah. Many vibrant celebrations and festivals are held here throughout the year, for example, the beautiful Vesak festival, which is a festival observed by Buddhists every year to celebrate the life of Buddah. Cricket is Colomboโ€™s most popular sport and expats will be able to catch a game or two at one of the cityโ€™s sports venues, such as the Colombo Cricket Club Ground and the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium. The shipping of your personal and household items is sure to be as easy as settling into this diverse city. If youโ€™re not sure which size shipping container to choose, hereโ€™s a simple gauge to help you decide: A 20-foot container can hold the contents of a 3-bedroom house, with a little room left over, whereas a 40-foot container can hold the contents of a 4 or 5-bedroom house. The same 40-foot container can also be used to accommodate the contents of a 3-bedroom house along with a medium sized vehicle.
