Wherever you're moving to, our international removalists can take care of all the logistics with minimal fuss and little effort on your part. Here's how our service works in three simple steps:

An instant quote: enter the to and from addresses and as much information as possible about the effects you want to move into our free online quote tool. Once you've got your clear, itemised quote, place your order and pick a convenient date so our international moving company can deliver your starter pack and conduct a site check, and then a date for the delivery of an empty MoveCube(s)®.

Packing your boxes: next, carefully wrap your possessions and, if you've ordered a Large MoveCube®, pack them in the double-walled, chemically-hardened packing boxes that come with your Starter Pack. On the day our international moving company deliver the empty MoveCube(s)®, you'll be allocated a time to load your boxes and any other items, such as mattresses, furniture or kitchen appliances, into the container depending on its size (the same process applies for unloading at the shipment's destination).

Online documentation: lastly, fill out your online documents, including a detailed inventory to record the contents of your shipment and insurance forms, then book a collection date. From there, our international moving company will handle the rest, transporting your household goods overseas, clear customs and delivering them to your new address. Easy!

Due to their size and weight, our movers ship the MoveCubes® by sea — the least expensive mode of international moving! However, you'll need to use our no-obligation quote engine or contact our multilingual customer support team for transit times, as these vary depending on where you're going and whether you would like us to deliver your shipment to your new address or the port for you to collect.

The best way to get the most accurate quote for our international moving service is to fill out our free instant relocation quote form. It's quick and easy to submit and will give you a comprehensive breakdown of all the information and costs involved, including the customs process, warehouse handling, and more.

Unfortunately, many international movers either don't know or exclude certain destination fees from their quote, leading to surprise costs down the line. However, our international moving company is committed to 100% transparency. Since our relocation services are end-to-end, we can tell you exactly what all the costs are before you book your international move.

Each country has its own list of prohibited goods that, unfortunately, you won't be able to take with you when moving abroad. There are some obvious items that all destinations forbid, such as illegal drugs, firearms, explosives and counterfeit or pirated goods. But also some more uncommon restrictions, for example, both Australia and New Zealand won't allow packing of pain relief head bags and China and Hong Kong have a ban on milk powder.

For a stress-free international moving, we strongly recommend checking out our Prohibitive Goods page before your move for further information.

Packing the International MoveCube® can feel a little like playing a giant game of Tetris. Don't worry, though, as below, we've listed our top five tips to help you get everything into the movers containers safely and securely. Plus, our drivers will always offer plenty of packing advice:

1. Place the heaviest items, like your sofa, washing machine or fridge, on the floor in the centre of the MoveCube®.
2. Keep the load level and add padding to gaps, for example, by using a mattress turned on its side, to prevent your household goods from moving about while at sea.
3. When moving to Australia or New Zealand, please place any shoes or boots in the white packing box provided with the soles facing upwards and load last. Ensuring these items are ready for inspection will make the customs experience much smoother as both countries have strict regulations regarding importing items that might contain dirt and other organic materials.
4. To avoid any confusion during the international moving process and make it easier for you to identify what goes where when unpacking, label at least one side of each box with your name and job number.
5. Although you can, of course, fill the MoveCube® with your own moving boxes, we highly recommend using the brand new, chemically-hardened cardboard containers we provide as they're specially designed to withstand long international trips.
