When shipping from Sydney to Port Said, consider the Australia Wet Season (November-April), allowing extra buffer time for port operations and potential flooding. During the Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (April-June and October-December), build in additional buffer days to account for weather-related disruptions. Expect longer transit times during the Southern Ocean Storm Season (May-September), and arrange vessel space well in advance of the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid capacity shortages. Lastly, adjust schedules closely during the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) due to reduced staffing and potential delays.

Readying Home appliances for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually cushion glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because major appliances are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance Is strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers water exposure, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, bakeware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and apply pallet covers or top sheets if humidity is high. Avoid outdoor staging or open docks during rain, and do not shrink-wrap warm appliances immediately after use, as trapped condensation can damage electronics.
International shipments of domestic appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. We recommend that kitchen appliances comply with local voltage, plug type, and certification requirements (such as CE, UKCA, or other regional marks). Include accurate product descriptions and HS codes for small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that appliances are properly packaged to prevent damage during transit.
