Shipping by Sea

Will be shipping some stuff via sea rfrom the US and was wondering if any of you know how long it takes for the stuff to arrive.

This way, I can plan ahead when finalizing accommodation.

Cheers

p/s: recommendation for shippers also welcomed!

Are you trucking (or training) it from Boston to the left coast and shipping it or are you shipping it out of MA and going through the Panama Canal?

Not sure

Good question but I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Haven't obtained a quote from a mover/shipper yet...hence recommendations are needed.

If trucking/train to West Coast then ship, how long does that take compared to going through the panama canal?

I am assuming the panama canal route is the longer alternative.


Thanks.
