Most of the worry is not knowing what happens next.
We tell you what to do and when — and handle the rest.
Which one applies depends on how much you are sending and where it is going. You do not need to work that out — describe the situation and we will.
A whole household sent abroad. Packing, shipping, customs clearance and final delivery handled end to end. Cleared as household goods, most items come through duty free.
Long-distance moves within the US. Packing, transport and placing furniture in the new home. Certain months book out early, so it is worth fixing dates ahead.
Shipping by the box rather than by the room. Common at the end of a semester. Short-term storage can be arranged alongside it.
There are two moments that need you: the estimate, and the day the boxes leave. Everything between is ours, and you hear from us at each stage.
Send a few photos of what is going, or we come and look if you are nearby. You get a figure on the spot.
We fix the date and send boxes and packing materials ahead if you need them.
We pack and load on the agreed day. Collecting boxes you packed yourself is fine too.
By sea, air or road depending on the destination. Once it leaves, you get an arrival window.
The stage people find most confusing. We tell you which documents are needed ahead of time and file on your behalf.
Brought to the receiving address. Placed where you want it, if you would like that.
Two moves of the same description can differ several times over in cost. A published figure would be misleading. What we can set out is what determines it.
Charged by space, not weight. How many boxes is the biggest factor.
Which city, and how far from the port or terminal.
Sea is cheaper and slower; air is faster and dearer. Your timing decides it.
Packing yourself brings it down.
If we pack, damage is on us.
Summer and end of semester are busy. Space is harder to get then.
Furniture disassembly, window removal, storage. Added only when needed.
The part that worries people most on an international move. All you need to know is what to have ready.
Weeks by sea, days by air, plus clearance time on arrival. The exact window depends on the destination and comes with your estimate.
Cleared as household goods, most shipments are exempt. There are conditions and deadlines, so we confirm whether you qualify beforehand.
That is fine. A few photos are enough to estimate. You are billed on what actually ships.
We send them. Tell us roughly how many and what sizes.
Mark them and they are packed separately. Anything we pack, we are responsible for.
Book first and adjust later. In peak season slots fill quickly, so give us an approximate window at least.
Yes. Cost depends on how long, so let us know the period.
Still possible if someone can hand over the goods locally. The booking has to be in your name.
There is a claims process for damage in transit. Scope and conditions are explained with the estimate.
Photos of the room or the stack of boxes will do. Tell us where it is going and roughly when.
