Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries do you move to from the UK?

We handle worldwide removals from the UK to over 30 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, the UAE, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and all major European destinations. If your destination isn’t on this list, call us on 0800 014 7676 — we cover most countries through our established international partner network and can advise on routes, timelines, and requirements for your specific destination.

Transit times vary significantly by destination and shipping method. Sea freight to Australia or New Zealand typically takes 6–10 weeks. The USA and Canada are usually 4–6 weeks. The UAE and Middle East destinations are generally 3–5 weeks. Air freight is available for urgent shipments and typically delivers within 5–10 days to most destinations. We’ll give you an accurate timeline estimate when we prepare your quote, based on your specific destination, volume, and departure date.

A shared container — sometimes called a groupage or part-load shipment — means your belongings travel alongside other customers’ goods in the same container. This is a more cost-effective option for smaller volumes. A dedicated container means the entire container is yours — better for larger households, faster loading, and more privacy. We’ll recommend the most suitable option for your volume and budget when we prepare your quote, and explain the cost and timing difference between the two.

Yes — destination-side customs clearance is handled by our established overseas partners as part of the service. We prepare the required export documentation on the UK side, and our partners manage the import process on arrival. You’ll need to provide some supporting documents — proof of residence, passport copy, detailed inventory — and your move coordinator will tell you exactly what’s needed for your specific destination country well in advance of your departure date.

We recommend booking as early as possible for long-haul international moves — ideally 6–8 weeks ahead of your target departure date. This allows time for a pre-move survey, export packing preparation, documentation, and connecting with the right vessel departure. If you’re working to a tighter timeline, call us on 0800 014 7676 and we’ll tell you honestly what’s achievable and what options are available for your specific destination and timeline.
