International moving

With over 15 years of shipping experience, this has been our area of specialty for quite some time. We organise sea freight to all corners of the globe. Whether it’s just a few boxes or a shipping container full of household goods, International Moving Expert will have everything under control and on the ship for you in no time.

In the right hands international shipping doesn’t need to be complicated, but there are formalities such as Customs requirements and paperwork. International Moving Expert will handle this and guide you through every step of the way.

European moving

Most of the moves that we organise to mainland Europe will travel by road. International Moving Expert can organise a shared vehicle service for you or a dedicated service depending on your requirements and budget. The shared vehicle is normally a lot more cost effective but because the shared vehicle is doing multiple collections and deliveries it can take a little longer for the goods to arrive and may require a level of flexibility with dates. A dedicated service means that the vehicle is travelling specifically for you, giving you the freedom to call the shots in terms of dates and speed.

Small moves / just boxes

If you’re just looking to send boxes and leave the couches and beds behind then look no further. International Moving Expert will happily get this underway for you. Moving just boxes is a very cost-effective way to get all of the important stuff moved without breaking the bank. There are a few options such as airfreight, sea freight baggage and sending pallets by road.

Insurance services

Whether to take out insurance or not is a big decision when moving locally or internationally. We are here to talk you through the options, discuss the potential risks and help you set up a bespoke policy to cover your goods during transit. There is always a risk when moving goods anywhere and it’s very important to acknowledge this. Marine cargo carries a higher risk due to ‘general averaging’ in marine law. The decision that you need to make is: do you understand and accept the risk and still move without insurance? Or do you completely offset the risk by taking out a policy? There is no right or wrong answer to this question but we would always recommend taking out insurance and believe it’s one of the most important things to consider when moving.

Foreign exchange

If you’re moving abroad, you might be putting a lot of thought into removals, flights, and finding your perfect property. But how much thought have you put into how you’ll transfer your funds overseas? While you may have thought you’d just contact your local bank, many expats are now using a currency specialist to move their funds to maximise their overseas transfers and get more for their money.

Packing & materials

Packing is one of the most important parts of moving and can mean the difference between goods arriving in immaculate condition or not. If you’re not too confident about packing up all of your best crystal then don’t worry. We can organise expert packers to pack a few boxes for you or even pack up your whole house. Packing services can be much more cost-effective than you might think and can save you a lot of time and stress. If you are already a master packer and just want to take care of it all yourself then go for it! Please just make sure that you are using the right materials for the job. We can order high quality materials for you and get them delivered to your door.
