Our professional packing service

With us, you can spend your precious time leading up to your move focussing on things that matter most. Our packing, shipping and unpacking service will make sure that you don’t have to lift a finger. We will transport your life seamlessly into your new dwellings.

Say goodbye to late-night packing for weeks before your moving day. Our professional packers will carefully pack your entire house in a day and ship your treasured possessions to your new destination with ease. That’s right: no more boxes piling up inside and outside your house when you arrive in your new place. We unpack and carefully place your belongings in your new place, so it’s somewhere that already feels like home

One size fits all?

When it comes to relocation, we know that there’s no such thing as one size fits all.

We have a selection of high-quality boxes in all shapes and sizes, to cater for all your items no matter how big or small. From airfreight to archive, we use them all to make sure your precious belongings are transported safely from A to B.
We use pre-made, purpose-built boxes for hard-to-transport items like clothing, and we can also build custom protection for high value or fragile items, such as antiques..

 

 

Moving your belongings

Once your items have been packed and loaded, we’ll take care of getting them safely to your new home. Not only are we a world-class mover, but we’re also a licensed freight forwarder, so you can rest assured that we’ll transport your precious cargo in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible.

Clearing customs

Moving internationally? Don’t worry about customs, as Santa Fe will deal with customs formalities on your behalf.

We do this, when required, at both the country of origin and in your destination. Customs requirements vary from country to country, but your move specialist will coordinate it all with you, arranging for the collection and submission of all required documentation to ensure it goes smoothly.
