The CY/CY (read as 'CY to CY') container service---door-to-door container service or house-to-house container service---broadly means that the whole container received by the carrier is packed at the shipper's or the forwarder's premises, and the delivery of that same whole container to the consignee's premises.

In a related term door-to-door service, which is often used in the cargo forwarding and may involve the LCL, refers to a type of freight service available from a forwarder whereby the cargo is picked up at the consignor's premises and delivered to the consignee's premises.
