It is therefore essential that you consider all aspects of the removal process when choosing a company to carry out your relocation. There are many factors to consider such as packing, materials, insurance, transit times and part container/sole use container, all of these factors will govern whether your goods will arrive in good time and more importantly safely.

A sole use container will probably be the most appropriate method if you are taking your complete household to your new residence. This is usually loaded at your premises, subject to access, and pre booked onto a vessel so offering greater control of how and when your goods arrive at destination.

A part container or groupage service is usually most appropriate if you elect to take either just personal effects or part of your household. This will usually offer a considerable financial saving but offset against this will take longer for your possessions to arrive. Most of the popular migrant routes around the world do have regular services for shared/groupage containers so you can still be sure that your possessions will arrive in a reasonable time.

Finally for those moving a part household to a more unusual destination or simply cannot wait for a groupage container to consolidate there is the option of LCL or ‘less than container load’. This involves placing your goods into a case and in turn into a container which, once shipped, is distributed, in the case, from the destination port. Full case-making facilities are available for this service.

With our regular airfreight consolidations around the world to 1000’s of airports you may like to consider a combination of groupage and airfreight services so that your essential items arrive immediately with your non-essential effects delivered later via a more cost effective method.
