We recommend that you contact us as early as possible prior to an international move. There is much to consider and prepare for an international move, we can help every step of the way.

The cost of your move is based on the volume of goods you would like to ship or transport. To accurately assess the volume, a full survey of your property is carried out by one of our International Moving consultants.

We offer a variety of packing services. We are experts in export packing. Although a full packing and wrapping service is optional, we strongly recommend our customers using it. Your effects will be travelling a long distance, so a full service will give you peace of mind that your belongings will be delivered in the condition they were collected. Unpacking is also optional. If you are using our shipping service, we will arrange with one of our affiliated agents to handle the delivery and unpacking if required.

Overall transit times vary from country to country, mode of transport and destination customs. The following are approximate door-to-door timescales for container shipments from the UK:

In most cases your shipment, if it is a sole-use container, will be delivered to your new residence unopened. However in some countries, including New Zealand and Australia, all containers are unloaded for quarantine inspection. This is always carried out under the strict control of our destination partners.

Customs officials reserve the right to inspect goods anywhere in the world, at their discretion.
