Frequently asked questions about international removals

Q: How quickly can you relocate me to another country?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot give you an exact time frame since this depends on a lot of factors. After the initial survey and once we have all the necessary information, a company representative will contact you with an estimate of how long your international journey is going to take.
Q: Can you assist me with moving overseas on short notice?
A: Usually, most customers get in touch with us 3 months before their expected move date in order for us to have enough time to book a consultation and sort out all of the paperwork. However, we can also assist you with moving overseas even if you only have a few days to spare.
Q: How much does moving abroad cost?
A: The final price is shaped by many factors, such as the volume of goods you want to move, the types of properties you’re moving to and from, the country and the area you’re moving to, as well as if you own any special items (pianos, safes, etc.) and on how you want them moved. Book your video survey today to get an accurate cost for the move.
Q: Who is this service suitable for?
A: Just about anyone in need of long-distance removals! From tenants and students to businesses who wish to open a new office abroad. We can take care of everything and will be happy to help you with additional services such as delivering the moving supplies, packing or even business storage.
Q: Are there any extra costs involved?
A: All extra costs (if any) will be listed in your final quote. Such costs, for example, could be road, bridge, or ferry fees, late hour charges, or fees for moving specific items, like pianos. Please note that fees for items that are not considered duty-free will not be reflected in the quote and will be covered by you entirely .
Q: Can I pack the items myself?
A: This depends on where you’d like to go. However, we always encourage our customers to leave the packing to us to avoid potential problems with the customs (for instance, if you are trying to import something that local laws forbid), as well as to avoid the risk of damage. You can rest assured that the friendly team will carefully pack your personal effects and belongings.
Q: What if I’m not ready to receive my items yet?
A: If that’s the case, we can place them inside a storage facility and deliver them to your desired destination as soon as you’re ready to accept your belongings.
Q: What happens if some of my belongings arrive damaged?
A: If you suspect that some of your items were mishandled during the delivery, please inspect the goods and submit a damage claim within the next 72 hours so that we can assist you.
Q: Does my service involve an upfront payment?
A: Before the move, we will ask for an upfront deposit equal to 50% of the price of the service.
Q: Are there any requirements I should be aware of?
A: You need to arrange a parking space (6-8 metres) for the team as otherwise we will be unable to assist you with your international move. Please contact your local council for more information.
Q: Are there things you’re currently unable to perform?
A: Unfortunately, we are currently unable to provide you with pallet or container packing services. Although planned in the future, as of yet we are also unable to ship items overseas.
Q: What is your service coverage?
A: We can help you move from any point in the UK to any location within the European Union and vice versa. Some of the more popular destinations include Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy.
Q: What are the benefits of video surveying?
A: Video surveys have many benefits. One is that it's available 24/7 and it can fit around your schedule. It's a real time-saver, considering we are all working from 9 to 5. You won't have to book time off work. Instead, pick up your phone and let a mover guide you through.
