What are the different transport options available from United Kingdom?

“We offer all shipment methods from the UK; Sea, Air and Road freight. The method is dependent on the destination country. For the majority of European destination countries, transporters move them via road.

Air freight is one of the quickest methods of transport. We recommended air freight only for smaller quantities, and more so for personal belongings as opposed to furniture.” Alistair Hunt

What documents do I need for customs?

“Commonly, you will need a passport, visa/residency proof, packing list/inventory, proof of address, and any import declarations required by the destination. Some countries need non‑sale certification and tax ID numbers.

We understand that relocation can be overwhelming, so that’s where we come in. Contact our team and they will talk you through everything you need for a stress-free move.” Alistair Hunt

How long does an international move take from London?

Typical sea freight to Europe: 1–3 weeks; North America: 4–8 weeks; APAC: 6–10+ weeks. Air freight is faster (often 5–10 days door‑to‑door), subject to customs and local delivery slots.
