How long does it take to ship a container to UK?

The shipping duration from various ports in the United States to the United Kingdom can vary based on several factors, including the specific port, shipping company, weather conditions, and the chosen shipping method (e.g., container shipping or roll-on/roll-off). Here’s a general estimate of transit times from the mentioned ports to the UK:

  1. Port of Long Beach, CA to the UK:
    • Transit time: Approximately 20-30 days
    • Note: This duration can vary based on factors like the specific destination in the UK and any potential layovers or stops along the way.
  2. Port of Houston, TX to the UK:
    • Transit time: Approximately 20-30 days
    • Similar to Long Beach, the exact duration may vary depending on the destination in the UK and other logistical considerations.
  3. Port of Savannah, GA to the UK:
    • Transit time: Approximately 15-25 days
    • Savannah’s location on the East Coast can result in slightly shorter transit times compared to West Coast ports.
  4. Port of New York, NY to the UK:
    • Transit time: Approximately 10-20 days
    • New York’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean allows for shorter transit times compared to ports on the West Coast.

Please note that these estimates are rough guidelines, and actual transit times may vary. It’s essential to consult with your Direct Express Inc agent for precise information based on your specific shipping needs and destination within the United Kingdom. Additionally, factors like customs clearance and port congestion can also influence the overall shipping duration.
