Good for

  • Larger family and community consignments
  • Heavy household goods and bulk supplies, subject to our confirmation
  • Customers who want the most nominal capacity among our drums

The 55-gallon blue plastic drum is the option to consider when you have a lot to send. Its open top makes loading straightforward, and the lid closes it for the journey. At the flyer reference shipping price of $350 (227,500 FCFA), it offers far more nominal capacity than the 15-gallon drum for only $50 more in shipping, which is why many customers with larger consignments start here.

Heavy goods are where sea freight shows its value. Instead of paying air freight rates on every kilo, you consolidate your items in one large drum and ship them in a container. Share your item list with TCB Shopz and we will confirm what can be packed, how it should be prepared and what the drum itself will cost, since the container is not included in the shipping price.

If you are shipping goods that do not fit a round drum, compare the larger Mighty Tote or the Large Traveling Box. For several drums at once, tell us the quantity in your order request and we will prepare a combined quote.

Why ship this option by sea

Sea shipping in containers is built for goods that do not need to arrive in days. Instead of paying air freight rates on weight, you load a durable packing option once and send a larger quantity for the money. Contact TCB Shopz for a quote and we will confirm exactly what your shipment will cost.

Every request is reviewed by our team. We confirm the container cost, the shipping price, accepted contents, the next departure and delivery coverage in writing before you commit.

Packing guidance for this option

Our team confirms what is accepted and how to prepare it for every shipment. These practical tips help you get ready:

  • A full 55-gallon drum can become very heavy. Ask us about weight limits for your shipment before you fill it to the top.
  • Consider splitting heavy items between two drums to keep each one manageable.
  • Pack clean, dry items and wrap fragile pieces in clothing or soft padding.
  • Fill gaps so contents cannot shift when the container is moved.
  • Place heavy items at the bottom and lighter items on top.
  • Keep a list of what you packed, with photos of valuable items.
  • Put the recipient’s name and phone number on a card inside, and ask us how to label the outside.

Questions about this option

Yes. Enter the quantity in the order request and our team will prepare a combined quote.

Is this drum approved for food or liquids?

We make no such claim. Tell us exactly what you plan to pack and our team will confirm what is accepted.

Is a 55-gallon drum too heavy to handle?

Weight depends on what you pack. Tell us the contents and we advise on sensible weights and on splitting a large load between drums.

Does the displayed price include the container?

No. The flyer prices cover shipping only. Contact TCB Shopz for the container cost and a complete quote.

How long does sea shipping take?

Ask our team for the next departure and estimated arrival. The flyer advertises two months, but the applicable estimate needs confirmation.

We explain clearance, duties, taxes and exceptions in your written quote. The flyer advertises customs clearance included; its exact scope needs confirmation.

What can I pack?

Send a complete item list for acceptance and packing guidance before booking.

How is the final price decided?

We add the container (if you need one from us), the shipping price for this option and any service you request. The flyer reference price is the starting point and your written quote is the final figure.

Can I add more items after I send my request?

Yes, as long as your goods have not been loaded. Tell us what you want to add and we update your quote.

Which documents do I need?

Our team confirms which documents your shipment needs when we reply with your quote, and tells you before you commit.
