So just how many cubic ft are there in 20 ft container?
Hi there,
Sorry, I know there have been quite a few postings recently about shipping, but I'm a bit confused. We have been given a quote for shipping our goods (which have been in storage while we have been living abroad), to Sydney. They recommend a 20ft container for our things - which apparently is about 750cubic ft.
We have other things that we will need to ship and wanted to add it to the 750ft already quoted for. We wondered just HOW many cubic ft. much you can actually fit into a 20ft container. I'm not sure if they are quoting 20ft. container, because that is closest in size to what we need, but that the goods will be rattling around, or if 750cubic ft. would only just squash in.
Any ideas, anybody?

The capacity of a 20' container is about 1,116 cu. ft.
