What ocean carrier do you use?

For intra-Alaska shipments your items will be transported via trucks. For shipments going to the mainland, we use the two, major container ship lines that service Alaska: Horizon Lines and Matson Navigation. Both companies offer similar services and similar routes.

If not, affiliated with a national van line, whom do you use on the other end?

Over the past 25 years Royal Alaskan Movers has established its own network of quality agents on the mainland and internationally. Many of these agents are affiliated with national van lines like Allied, Arpin, Bekins, Graebel, Interstate, National, North American, Mayflower and United and some of them are independents like our company. Royal Alaskan Movers prides itself on using the most reputable agents to service your move.

Are you affiliated with a national van line?

Royal Alaskan Movers is not affiliated with a national van line. However, we have been doing business in the Alaskan Islands for over 25 years, and do work for and reciprocate with all the major van lines in the United States.

What is a port agent & what do they do?

A port agent is the company that will pick up or return a container to or from an ocean port. Royal Alaskan Movers is a port agent in addition to a mover. This means that we are capable of picking up and returning containers from all of the major ports of Alaska. This will allow Royal Alaskan Movers to make sure that your items are transported in a timely manner.

When can I expect my goods to arrive? (transit time)

Intra-Alaska (i.e. Anchorage to Juneau) At Royal Alaskan Movers we are generally able to provide quick service between these locations, but are unable to guarantee transit times. However, we do provide the following guidelines.

However, we can provide you with an estimated transit window.

We include estimated transit times in our quotes. International Shipments For international shipments, transit times can vary widely depending on your final destination. At the time of quote, we will be able to provide you with an estimated transit time to your final destination.

Will my shipment be trucked or go by rail?

Depending on your final destination your shipment may be trucked, railed, or a combination of both. Typically shipments that have a final destination near ocean ports such as, Seattle , Oakland/San Francisco, and Los Angeles will be trucked out of the port to our delivery agent near your final destination. For shipments going to the Midwest and the East Coast, the shipment will typically be routed to a west coast port and then put on a rail car to reach a rail head nearest your final destination. Once the shipment has reached the railhead nearest the final destination, it will typically be put back on a truck, to be transported to our agent that will be handling your delivery. However, there are times when a shipment will be trucked for longer distances rather the railed. If you have any questions about your shipment, please ask your sales person or call our offices.
