Shipping Methods.
There are quite a few different methods of shipping to Kragujevac. You can go for air shipping, RORO and container shipping. The last two are the overly preferred because air shipping is rather expensive. However, RORO is chosen by those who don’t have any personal belongings to ship while container shipping is preferred by the opposite type.
Furthermore, container shipping is without a doubt a great choice if you have a more expensive car because it’s going to be safely stored and protected inside the private 20ft or 40ft container. You can also share the container with someone else if you want to cut the shipping costs. However, air shipping isn’t a good option as it is mighty expensive and that deters most people.
