We can collect goods, export-wrap or crate them, and organise for them to be shipped abroad.
We can ship your personal effects in 40ft or 20ft containers to most worldwide destinations, via sea freight, including the US, South Africa, India, Australia and Canada. For smaller volumes, we can source groupage containers.
When moving any large quantity of items, it’s always best to be prepared. If you’re moving clothing items or other fabrics, make sure they’re all freshly washed and dried before you pack them away because they’re going to be sat in the storage unit for a while.
Make sure to stock up on boxes that are durable and of good quality. As much as possible, do not use boxes that have been used several times before or have been split and do not use plastic to cover your stuff because it may attract mildew or rip.
International shipping involves adhering to strict customs rules and regulations for each destination country. We are experts at handling all the necessary steps and documentation.
We also advise on appropriate insurance needs based on your shipment value and destination region. Coverage for damage/loss is important due to the long distances goods will travel.
For packing, we use high-quality custom crates and industry-approved packing materials suited for overseas transit and potential rough handling. Our specialized wraps and cushions keep valuables protected. Let us worry about the details so your move is hassle-free.
