Hello

Has anyone sent cargo to India by sea? If we decide to move we still have a lot of luggage to take care of. The only economical option is to send by sea. Anyone with previous experience ? Costs?

Hi,
Are you moving for good? I had shipped approximately 10 boxes back in 2006 using air7seas from US to India. It costed $714 US that time. We had packed our own stuff. (Initially we had around 34 boxes but we moved to Canada instead using u_haul). Sending by ship depends on what you are sending. But you do need to understand their terms like pallets, freights, clearing charge, door to door, door to terminal etc. Once you contact any of the company they will probably give you detailed explaination. You also have an option to share a container with someone else and that works out cheap. Full Container also is cheap if you are planning to send appliances and stuff. Some people actually did that.
Good luck and Let me know if you need any more information.
