If you are moving to Sweden from the UK and are looking for a cost-effective method to transport your furniture and belongings then we can help! Simpsons International Removals specialise in overseas removals and have a reputation for being one of the best removals companies for moving from the UK to Sweden. No matter whether it’s household goods, shipping personal effects or wrapping and packing, we can give you a comprehensive removals quote.

Simpsons have been helping people move house to Sweden for many years. Our team specialise in international and European removals so we know how to take care of everything to make your home removal easy and stress-free.

When moving house to Sweden your belongings are usually transported by road freight. This could be a dedicated removals van but more usually a shared van for smaller moves to Sweden. We don’t usually use your typical removal van but a larger European road train which allows you to save money through economies of scale.

We offer a door-to-door service so our packers will export wrap your household contents and deliver to your new home in Sweden.

To discuss your requirements, no matter how large or small, we recommend you complete the quote form and we’ll be in touch to answer all your questions.

Removal Service To Sweden

Simpsons International Removals is a leading removal company, offering you a comprehensive range of services if you are looking to move your belongings to Sweden, each tailored to meet different needs and budgets.

Road Freight Service – Dedicated or Part Loads

Road freight service is an excellent choice for European removals, especially for those seeking a balance between cost and speed. This service ensures that your goods are transported efficiently over land, providing a swift and budget-friendly option. You can decide to use either a dedicated or part load service with road freight.

Sea Freight Service – Container Shipping

For those who might be moving larger quantities of goods or seeking an even more cost-effective solution, sea freight services are also available. Whether that’s a full-load 20ft or 40ft container for larger moves or a part-load container for smaller quantities, sea freight is known for its economic value, especially for substantial moves, and while it may take longer than road transport, it offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for transporting your goods over longer distances.

Air Freight Service – For Small Moves

For the quickest transportation of your belongings to Sweden, air freight is the recommended option. This express courier service is ideal for smaller moves, such as sending boxes or luggage. Air freight stands out for its speed, making it the perfect choice for those who need their items to arrive in Sweden as quickly as possible. However, it is important to note that while air freight is the fastest method, it is generally more expensive than road or sea freight and is best suited for larger volumes of goods.

Removals to Sweden FAQ Guide & Moving Checklist


The cost of your removal to Sweden depends on a number of factors including where in the UK you are moving from and where in Sweden you plan to move to.

Naturally the cost also depends on how much you are taking – the price per cubic foot drops significantly as your volume increases.

However, as a large number of people move from the UK to Sweden every year, the cost may be much less than you think when you consider the distances involved from say London to Sweden or Umeå in the north.

We offer a range of removal options depending on your budget. This includes economy part load road freight or shared shipping container, dedicated road freight or full container load by sea or express air freight for small and urgent moves.

You can use our online cost calculator to get an initial price or for a more accurate estimate, we highly recommend booking a home or video survey to get a more formal quote for the cost of your move to Sweden.

Remember our removal quotes are for a comprehensive door-to-door service including packing and standard customs clearance. Our quote does not include customs fees and duties which may be payable to local authorities on arrival.

Transportation by road freight to mainland destinations in Sweden usually takes around 2-4 weeks for a dedicated service or 4-8 weeks for a shared / part load service.

We have a variety of house removal and shipping services depending on your relocation needs. So no matter whether you are just shipping a few boxes to Sweden or moving your entire house contents, we have a cost effective solution for you.

Dedicated removals service

If you are undertaking a large house removal to Sweden then our dedicated removal service will suit you. You will be allocated your own dedicated removal van and packing team to take all your furniture and other goods from your home in the UK to your new home in Sweden.

Small removals to Sweden (part or shared load)

If you don’t have much stuff to take with you to Sweden, then our shared load removal service is ideal.

We regularly transport people’s household belongings and furniture on a ‘European road train’. to all parts of Sweden including Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and occasionally as far north as Lapland (Lappland).

This furniture removals service is our most popular as the cost is shared amongst other customers moving to the same area of Sweden. In fact, it’s usually cheaper than ‘man and van’ type removals service and your belongings are certainly a lot safer!

Box shipping service for cheap removals to Sweden

All our shipping options are cost effective but if you only have a few boxes to send to Sweden then our Excess Baggage or box shipping will likely be your cheapest option.

Yes, a UK citizen can move to Sweden after Brexit, but the process has changed. Before Brexit, UK citizens enjoyed freedom of movement within the EU, allowing them to live and work in Sweden without special visas.

Since Brexit, UK citizens are treated as non-EU nationals. UK citizens can still buy property and stay 90 days in any 180 days, so can spend 6 months of the year in Sweden, but they must apply for and obtain a visa for longer stays or residency.

The exact type of visa required depends on the purpose of the stay, such as work, retirement, or joining family members. Additionally, UK citizens must meet Spanish immigration requirements, which could include providing proof of income, healthcare coverage, and a clean criminal record. The process is more complex and requires more documentation than prior to Brexit, but it remains feasible for UK citizens to move to Sweden.

Another change is that you need to undergo customs clearance for your household removal to Sweden. However, the experience team at Simpsons International Removals will be able to handle that for you.

Removals to Sweden from the UK

We provide a range of storage services for your belongings if you moving to Sweden. We have storage facilities across the UK and can also store your goods in Sweden until you are ready to receive them.

We have highly secure warehouses and can offer a range of flexible storage solutions depending on your needs including short term and longer term storage.

When relocating your belongings to Sweden, Simpsons’ comprehensive packing services have you covered. Our expert packing teams excel in export wrapping your furniture and efficiently packing boxes to ensure their safe arrival in flawless condition. Our highly trained packing crews specialise in packing for overseas moves and have years of experience.

We offer a range of export quality double-walled boxes of different sizes including tea cartons, book cartons and bike cartons. Other packing materials include blanket wrap, flow pack, bubble wrap and secure packing tape.

We can also provide bespoke custom wood cases and crates for delicate and special items that need additional protection. Our service also includes specialised antique packing, ensuring these valuable items are meticulously protected.

With our extensive experience in managing delicate and fragile items, we assure that every piece, from everyday furniture to precious antiques, receives the highest level of care and professional handling throughout the moving process.

Insurance for your Move to Sweden

We would recommend taking out Shipment Protection Cover for peace of mind whilst your belongings are on their journey.

Whilst we have expert packers who specialise in international removals and use accredited shipping lines who take special care of your personal belongings, we cannot control every eventuality.

Just as you will likely have home contents insurance in the UK and travel insurance for your family, we recommend you discuss with your Move Manager the available options for protecting your belongings whist they are in transit.

At Simpsons we are big enough to offer a friendly service, but large enough to have a very experienced team and economies of scale.

Although there are many removals companies that transport belongings to Sweden, few like Simpsons specialise solely in international removals.

Not only do we do house removals to Sweden and the EU but also removals worldwide.

We undertake household removals and shipping from every part of the UK and Ireland to anywhere in Sweden.

Some of the popular Sweden city destinations include:

  • Stockholm
  • Gothenburg
  • Malmö
  • Uppsala
  • Upplands Väsby and Sollentuna
  • Västerås
  • Örebro
  • Linköping
  • Helsingborg

We not only do removals from London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool to Sweden, but from all parts of England.

We have teams serving Cardiff and Wales to Sweden as well as from all over Scotland (not just Edinburgh and Glasgow) to Sweden too.

Moving from Ireland to Sweden

We are now also able to undertake removals from all parts of Ireland to Sweden including both Belfast and Dublin. Please contact us for more details and a quote.

Although Simpsons will take care of all the details they can for you, this convenient checklist will make preparing for the move as simple and worry free as possible.

Moving out: Before the removal men arrive, be clear in what they are contracted to do and what you are expected to do. If in doubt, ask the surveyor or a member of our staff. Ordinarily, both householder and the removal men have fairly defined responsibilities (though a measure of flexibility on both sides is of course desirable)

Children: Children, who are naturally curious and can easily get in the way, may potentially be injured. The younger ones are best left with a neighbour or friend until it is time to leave.

Swings/Climbing frames: Generally dismantling these is one job you will do yourself, but be careful not to lose the bolts. If wish us to arrange dismantling please discuss this with our surveyor

Garage/Shed: Tie together garden tools, and prepare items to be lifted straight onto the vehicle.

Self assembly furniture: If you have any furniture of the home assembly type particularly if made of chipboard, please note that we recommend dismantling units before the move, as the joints are seldom strong enough to survive even careful handling if the furniture is moved whilst still assembled.

Washing machines: Secure your washing machine drum, and disconnect from water supply and electric.

Books: Books are very heavy, use our book cartons as they are smaller and easier to manage.

China & glass: Wrap each item individually in packing paper or bubble wrap, packing the heavier items first with lighter pieces on top. Remember that plates and dishes are packed vertically and not laid flat.

Moving in: Make sure that you (or some other responsible person) is on hand to admit the removal men. If no-one is there and a reasonable waiting time expires, you could find yourself landed with storage and re-delivery charges. Enquire how long the vehicle will wait should you be inadvertently delayed on the way. It can also save time and confusion if you stand at the entrance and specify the location of each item as it is carried in.
Helping the move along: If you follow the guidelines suggested on this page you will find the removal men themselves responding to your good sense with extra efficiency and relaxed good humour. You can also help the move along by remembering to pack the kettle last. A cup of tea all round is a gesture always much appreciated.

Tipping: There is, of course, no obligation to tip the men, but, as with all personal services, people like to reward extra attention, willing good humour or a job well done. If you feel that a reward has been earned, the driver or packer in charge will distribute any gratuity given amongst the crew.
