Full-container Load Services for Alaska
If you’re shipping a container between Alaska and the lower 48, and need an FCL (full-container-load) shipper that can take you from your point-of-origin to your final destination, Royal Alaskan Movers is ready, willing, and able to help.
Unlike some Alaska container shipping companies, we provide a complete service that ensures your cargo goes past port-to-port and is picked up and delivered, door-to-door. We have teams, trucks, and facilities in Alaska, the lower 48, Hawaii, and Guam, and beyond.
Our staff has the resources and expertise required to meet every FCL shipping need you might have. We can pickup, wrap, load, ship, unload, store, deliver, and even assemble (if required) your cargo.
With more than four decades in ocean, air, and overland freight shipping experience, Royal Alaskan Movers makes FCL (and LCL) shipping an easier undertaking.
Simplified container shipping to, from, and across Alaska
When it comes to moving full container loads between Alaska, the lower 48, and anywhere else in the world, every payload is different, and every business has different needs.
Read MoreAt Royal Alaskan Movers, we will create a custom fit for your business. It starts with a brief survey in which we assess your business needs and timetables. Then, we create a schedule that ensures your cargo is shipped at a time that is the least disruptive to your business.
Once the scheduling is complete, we get to work on-site, wrapping and loading your cargo as needed into a container (or containers), and transporting your FCL(s) to a port for shipping.
Throughout the duration of your shipment, we monitor and report on your cago, ensuring its security and keeping you informed of any developments that could impact the schedule (such as a port closing due to storms).
Once your cargo has arrived, we can then transport it to it final destination, or store it for you for later delivery. Simply put, we ensure that FCL shipping into and out of Alaska is completely taken care of. And it all starts with a free survey and assessment.

What our Customers Say about our Movers
We love Royal Alaskan Movers. They moved our belongings from one house to another in Anchorage 5 years ago and then, just a few weeks ago, loaded up our shipment container for our move to the lower 48. They were, both times, professional, efficient, on-time and knew what they were doing to pack our belongings safely and securely in the trailer. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thank you, Royal Alaskan Movers for your service and support!-Julie Hirt
This year they helped me move my own household and then my parents. We lived in different states in the lower 48. The communication and support were top notch. The movers were respectful, efficient and fast. They also stored our belongings until we found our home.-Rebekah Fisher
Your company took care of an important move for us in Wasilla on very short notice, after a local valley mover failed us. Your crew Andrew and (not sure the others name, sorry) were fast and courteous and kicked butt. These two are an asset to your company. Marla and the crew kept in good communication throughout this whole ordeal. Thank you all!-Matt Rustin
Royal Alaskan Movers was a huge help! I work for an organization that needed assistance moving contents from two different locations. RAM was incredibly flexible, professional, and accommodating! They literally changed someone's life with the quality of their customer service.-Daniel Santos
We have had Royal Alaskan Movers move not only a piano, but also a large, heavy bar for us. The business was responsive with scheduling the move, the movers were respectful and timely, and their prices are very competitive with other companies in Anchorage. I will definitely use them again in the future--Amy Hart
My husband and I recently moved to Alaska for the Military. This is our 4th move and our 3rd time shipping household goods. Royal Alaskan Movers has by far been the most professional, courteous, and hardworking movers we have ever experienced.-Darneisha Duby
Amazing company! They went above and beyond for me.I had a HUGE sectional and a LONG flight of stairs.. and they tackled it like a beast! And without damaging anything! Justin was super nice, even helped me with my door security I was to weak to install myself. He explained all my paper work thoroughly, and made sure I had a clear understanding of what was going on. On top of that I received a call from the company to make sure my move went well.Over all I would HIGHLY suggest this company (and giving Justin and his partner a raise)-Gemise W.
The experience I had with Royal Alaskan Movers couldn't have been better. I had to coordinate from out of state, never met anyone with the company and everything they told me was absolutely true (costs, move date, picking up items from different sources, storage of items). When the furniture was delivered, it was wrapped an packed just like Rod said it would be and seeing it was better than I expected. They unloaded the truck fast and carefully. Rod and everyone I spoke with were so helpful. I hope to never have to move again, but I am certainly recommending them to anyone who needs a great moving company!-Lynn M.
Recently, my wife and I made our retirement move from Anchorage AK to Goodyear AZ. We decided in advance to ship only the items we absolutely loved. Based on our past experience we took out the max insurance just to be sure we would be covered "when" our goods arrived damaged. Remarkably, everything arrived intact with no and we mean "NO DAMAGE NOT EVEN AS MUCH AS A SCRATCH" on anything! Dishes, keepsake furniture and wall hanging, tools, glassware & fragile items. Everything present and accounted and nothing damaged or broken.-Greg M
It feels amazing to have our things! Also, we are unpacked! AND, also it feels kinda miraculous that even the most fragile items were not broken through our changing situation, minus temps, snow, wind, mechanical issues, and pandemic... A HUGE THANK YOU, again! And, it is always a pleasure to talk with each member of your team. You all have a great spirit, and, we especially appreciate that. Please pass on our thanks to the best-ever packers in Fairbanks to driver and the unloaders here who were also fantastic. Blessings on you, please keep safe and healthy also, J and J PS This is the 4th time we have returned to you for a move inside-outside, repeat. Who knows, we hope Alaska isn't done with us yet.-Julienne W.
We are military and getting ready to move back to the lower 48 and the army assigned this moving company to us. The apartment was small so they were able to pack and load all in one day. Neil & Trevor were the two young men assigned to us, they were incredibly friendly, professional and efficient! We were very impressed and would recommend this company to everyone!-Michelle E.
Out of my whole military career, these are the best movers. They packed my house in no time and made sure I was notified of everything they were packing. They are very nice and professional. I would recommend their services to anyone moving from or to Alaska. Azsia R.
Everyone was courteous, professional, and understanding, and the speed of the packing/loading crews has been amazing. Thank you so much for making this a hassle-free experience for us! You'll be the first ones we call or recommend for any future moves. Mandala R. Plano, TX
Royal Alaskan Movers did great work. All of my things were in one piece. They were kind and courteous. Even though I was on the 2nd floor, no one complained. I had two long moves, and they were incredibly accommodating. Ruth P.
