Every move starts with careful packing. Choose our full export packing service and our crews will wrap, box and load your entire home for you — or take care of it yourself with export-grade cartons, tape and bubble wrap sourced directly from us.
Treasured pieces need extra attention. For antiques, artwork and other irreplaceable items, we build bespoke crates and cases around the object itself, so nothing shifts in transit.

A few things our customers often ask before they book. Can't find what you need? Just get in touch.
We recommend booking 6–8 weeks before your intended move date, particularly for international sea freight where sailing schedules are fixed well in advance. For UK and European road moves, 2–4 weeks' notice is usually enough — though we'll always do what we can to accommodate shorter timeframes.
Every quote is based on a free home or video survey, taking into account the volume of your belongings, your destination, and the shipping method — sea, air or road. There are no hidden fees; your quotation covers packing materials, transport and the services we agree together.
Yes. All shipments are covered by comprehensive marine transit insurance for the full replacement value of your goods, giving you complete peace of mind from collection right through to delivery.
Our team handles all customs documentation on your behalf and will advise you on any duties or import restrictions specific to your destination country, so there are no surprises when your shipment arrives.
Transit times vary by route and method — typically 5–10 weeks for sea freight, and 1–2 weeks for air freight or European road moves. We'll confirm an estimated timeline for your specific move as part of your quotation.
Of course. Many customers choose to pack personal or fragile items themselves, while we handle furniture and bulkier belongings. We're happy to talk through what works best for your move.
Yes — we offer secure short and long-term storage at our UK facilities, so your move can go ahead as planned even if there's a gap before you can take delivery at the other end.
