Friday the 13th, Beware!

It is Friday the 13th, and what many people call the unluckiest day of the year. Some Americans simply enjoy telling myths about this fateful day, but others take it seriously, going as far as to refusing to leave their houses. 

 K International Transport believes, however, that international shipping services don't have to suffer, even on the unluckiest days. 

Here are the most popular Friday the 13th myths, and how we work to avoid unlucky situations:

Don't Walk Under the Ladder!

Walking under a ladder is said to bring bad luck or increased risk of injury. Technically this is true, I mean who would want to be responsible for injuring a carpenter who's just trying to do their job? If you're still worried, however, we promise that there will be no ladder-obstacles when you try to ship your cargo overseas. Unless you want that of course! In that case, you can ship as many ladders as you want along with construction equipment with the help of our heavy equipment shipping services.

Beware of a Black Cat Crossing your Path!

Black cats make wonderful pets, but this is not so on Friday the 13th, according to  friggatriskaidekaphobics (people afraid of Friday the 13th)! This myth most likely originates from the association of black cats to witches all throughout historic legends. Again, K International Transport promises not to have any black cats board the vessels and containers. Besides, it's against international shipping regulations! 

Don't Break that Mirror! 

According to this myth, breaking a mirror will bring you seven years of bad luck! How unforgiving! This myth comes from the idea that mirrors don't just show your reflection, but also hold bits of your soul.
But again, no worries! With K International Transport, you can ship your cargo, including any automobiles with our overseas car transport, and expect it to reach its destination without a scratch! We accomplish this with containerized shipping, which keeps your car safe and sound throughout its journey!

Knock on Wood
Finally, for some good news! If you happen to come upon any bad fate, simply knock on wood to ward it off. This originated from the idea that good spirits lived in trees, and knocking on wood would somehow wake them.
With K International Transport, there's no need to knock on wood, you are protected regardless! Bad luck doesn't follow us, just ask any of our customers! We are one of the most reliable international shipping companies, so choosing us to ship your belongings is similar to knocking on wood!

Knocking on wood can save you from bad fate, but so can choosing K International Transport!

Superheros Galore: How we can match all of their Superpowers!

Comic books and tales of the "Good Guys" saving the world have always been popular, but in the past decade, it seems as though a new superhero movie comes out every other month. "But," you may ask, "What do superheros have to do with international shipping companies?" 

Without further ado, here are some of the most powerful superheros, and what we have in common with them: 

Iron Man

This superhero appeals to mass audiences because Tony Stark is just a regular guy, and essentially, a self-made hero. He creates his own high-tech equipment, thanks to the help of his parents' firm, Stark Industries. This particular hero not only has a powerfully stylish suit, but is extremely intelligent, entering Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at only 15 years old. Tony Stark managed to create his image with his own inventions, and is a great superhero because of it. 

If the story of Tony Stark motivates you to succeed (and possibly to become the world's next defender of mankind), K International Transport can help with its heavy equipment shipping services. We can ship your cargo (and your ingenious hi-tech equipment) to any country of your choosing. Now you can save the world from Europe, Africa, Asia, or South America, take your pick!

Professor X

This hero is different from Iron Man, and yet similar in some ways. Professor X can perform telepathy. However, he not only reads minds but can also control people through their minds. This useful trick got him a well-deserved spot with the X-Men, and a well-deserved spot on this list. Professor X, like Iron Man, is not only powerful, but also ridiculously smart. He is a professor at Oxford University, after all.

If you would like to ship something out of the United States, you don't need telepathic powers for us to give you a reasonable price. At K International Transport, we will give you a quote for our international shipping services to the destination of your choosing (to England to join Professor X, perhaps?)

Flash

This superhero has the power to move, think, and act faster than the speed of light. He uses the "Speed Force" to tap into his powers, and allow himself to move through time. This power comes in handy when fighting villains, who are always a few steps behind him. 

Although K International cannot move through time and space, we will always try our best to make our customers happy. We can offer a shipping quote and a schedule of approximate delivery. We can't get your cargo there at the speed of light, but through our use of containerized shipping, especially with our overseas car transport services, it will get there as quickly as possible, and as safely as possible. 

Like Flash, K International is way ahead of all other international shipping companies!
