Why Global Moving Experts

International moving without unnecessary complexity

Moving between countries involves more moving parts than a local move — different transport options, customs rules that vary by destination, and a lot that can go wrong without proper coordination. Our job is to remove that complexity, not add to it.

We plan your route, recommend the right combination of transport and services for your volume and timeline, and stay involved from the initial assessment through to delivery at your new address.

How it works

How international moving works

  1. Move assessment

    We start with your origin, destination, volume and timeline to understand what your move needs.

  2. Planning

    We recommend groupage or dedicated transport, and any packing, storage or customs support required.

  3. Packing

    Full or partial packing, using materials suited to road transport or sea freight.

  4. Collection

    Your goods are collected from your current address on the agreed date.

  5. International transport

    Road transport within Europe, or sea freight and container shipping for overseas moves.

  6. Delivery

    Delivery to your new address, with unpacking available on request.

Boxes prepared for a shared load international move

Groupage or dedicated

Shared load or dedicated transport — whichever suits your move

Depending on destination, volume and requirements, your move may use dedicated road transport, shared load (groupage), or container transport. Groupage suits smaller volumes with some flexibility on dates; dedicated transport suits larger households or a fixed delivery date.

We advise on which fits your situation once we know your route and estimated volume — see our groupage service page for a full comparison.

Europe and worldwide

From European road transport to overseas sea freight

Within Europe, most moves travel by road — as groupage or dedicated transport, with EU-to-EU moves avoiding customs procedures entirely. Overseas moves to destinations such as the USA, Canada, Australia and the UAE travel by sea freight, in a shared or dedicated container, and involve destination customs clearance.

Within Europe
Road transport — groupage or dedicated, EU customs-free between member states
Overseas
Sea freight — shared or dedicated container, destination customs clearance required
Non-EU Europe
UK and Switzerland require customs documentation even from EU countries

Packing & storage

Packing, unpacking, and storage when timing does not line up

Our packing team wraps and boxes household goods for the transport method your move uses, whether that is a multi-day road journey or a longer sea freight transit. If your move-out and move-in dates do not align, we can store your goods at origin or destination in the meantime.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which countries do you move between?

We coordinate international moves between countries across Europe, the Middle East, North America and Australia. See our destinations page for the full list, and get in touch if your route is not listed — we can usually still help.

Do you handle both household and corporate relocations?

Yes. We support individual households moving abroad as well as companies relocating employees internationally — see our corporate relocation service for the latter.

What is the difference between groupage and dedicated transport?

Groupage means your goods share vehicle or container space with another household on a similar route, which suits smaller volumes and flexible dates. Dedicated transport reserves the vehicle or container for your move alone. See our groupage service page for a full comparison.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the route form on this page, or go directly to our quote page. We ask about your origin, destination, moving date, volume and any additional services so we can put together an accurate quote.

Yes — full or partial packing is available, using materials suited to your transport method. See our packing service page for detail.
