What is a MoveCube®?
The MoveCube® is Seven Seas Worldwide’s sole-use moving container for shipping household belongings overseas or domestically.
We bring the MoveCube® to your address in our vehicle or trailer, ready for you to load. Unlike a traditional removals service, you pack and load your belongings yourself within the allocated time. Once loading is complete, it is taken to our depot for onward transport.
MoveCubes® are available in Small, Medium and Large sizes. The container is secured for transport and will only be opened where an authorised customs or quarantine inspection requires access.
Is a MoveCube® right for your move?
A MoveCube® is a practical option if you’re moving more than a few boxes and want more control over how your belongings are packed and organised.
A MoveCube® could suit you if:
- You’re moving furniture as well as boxes and personal belongings;
- You like the idea of a sole-use container for your shipment;
- You want to pack and organise your belongings your way;
- You have suitable access for our vehicle at collection and delivery;
- You’re happy to load and unload within the allocated time; or
- You’re moving more than just a few boxes, bags or suitcases.
For larger moves, you can contact us to book multiple MoveCubes®.
Prefer to send a smaller shipment?
If you only have a few personal items to send, our Boxes and Bags Shipping service may be a better fit.

Loading and unloading the MoveCube®
The MoveCube® is a self-load service, so you’re responsible for loading and unloading your belongings. Your allocated time depends on the size and number of MoveCubes® you've booked, and we’ll notify you of your time slot the day before collection or delivery.
- Small MoveCube®: 60 minutes to load and 30 minutes to unload
- Medium MoveCube®: 90 minutes to load and 45 minutes to unload
- Large MoveCube®: 120 minutes to load and 60 minutes to unload
If you book more than one MoveCube®, the allotted time is calculated across the number and sizes booked. For example, two Large MoveCubes® would allow 240 minutes for loading and 120 minutes for unloading.
Additional charges may apply for every 15 minutes you run over your allocated time, so it’s worth having everything packed, accessible and ready before the MoveCube® arrives.
What help is available on the day?
Our driver is there to help the collection or delivery run safely and smoothly. They can offer practical loading advice, help you make good use of the available space and check that the weight is distributed safely within the MoveCube®.
Where permitted, the driver may also offer limited practical assistance, but you remain responsible for loading and unloading. Make sure you have enough help available to move furniture, appliances, and other heavy or bulky belongings.
Drivers cannot:
- Pack your boxes;
- Load or unload the MoveCube® for you;
- Handle specialist items such as pianos.
Unloading in the USA: for health and safety reasons, you must remain outside the MoveCube® while unloading and remove your belongings without entering the container.

Their video shows how planning the layout in advance helped them load quickly and efficiently when the MoveCube® arrived.
Move heavier and bulkier belongings close to your property entrance before collection so they’re ready to load first.
How to load a MoveCube® efficiently
Start from the bottom and work upwards, placing heavier and bulkier items low and towards the centre of the MoveCube® to help keep the load stable. Keep each layer as level as possible to provide a solid base for the items above.
Use lighter belongings and securely packed boxes to fill gaps and reduce movement during transit. Protect furniture and wooden items that may touch the container walls with suitable packing materials, such as removal blankets, cardboard or bubble wrap.
Secure any doors or drawers so they cannot open, and lock the wheels on wheeled items where possible.
Make sure everything is clean and completely dry before loading. If it rains on collection day, dry any wet items before placing them inside the MoveCube®.

Customer top tip
Plan your layout before collection day and take a photo of it so you can quickly recreate the arrangement when the MoveCube® arrives.
Free storage when your moving dates don’t line up
In many countries, International MoveCube® removals include two weeks of free storage at one of our secure depots at both origin and destination. Availability depends on the country and service booked, and excludes door-to-port moves.
You can arrange storage after booking, provided your shipment has not yet been scheduled for loading. If you need longer, additional storage can usually be arranged between collection and delivery for an extra fee.

Becky and Kyle: Sheffield to Adelaide
Becky and Kyle used a Large MoveCube® to move their belongings from Sheffield to Adelaide. After finishing their packing, they shared a short review of their experience and why they would recommend the service.
The inventory takes longer than you expect, so plan for it.
Angus: UK to Melbourne
Angus used a Medium MoveCube® to move his family’s belongings from the UK to Melbourne. He originally booked a Small MoveCube®, but after using the Starter Pack floor sheets to test the available space, he decided to upgrade.
“Upon receiving the Starter Pack and test packing, we decided to upgrade to a Medium MoveCube® for a little extra breathing room.”
His main advice was to plan the arrangement before collection day:
“Mark out a space and build a tower of your stuff on the provided floor sheets. Once you’ve figured out how to pack it, take a few pictures so you can replicate it on the day.”
He also recommended allowing enough time to complete the inventory and making goods that may need inspection easy to access.

Seven-Star Service from Seven Seas Worldwide!
"This was our third time using Seven Seas Worldwide, and once again, they delivered an outstanding experience! The MoveCube® service is incredibly convenient — perfect for moving an entire household’s belongings overseas without the need for large furniture shipping. Everything was handled seamlessly, making the process stress-free and efficient."
Top marks for Seven Seas Worldwide…
"My experience with Seven Seas Worldwide was very positive! After looking at all my options, I decided to use a Small MoveCube® to ship my belongings from London, UK, to Christchurch, New Zealand.
Give yourself enough time to pack properly, as there is, admittedly, quite a bit of paperwork and organisation involved in the initial set-up. That being said, the customer service team, no matter who I spoke to, were extremely helpful, patient and understanding. They were always more than happy to assist me and never once made me feel that I was asking silly questions or wasting their time.
Once my shipment was underway, it took approximately three months door-to-door. I was able to track my shipment while it was at sea, and I was kept informed every step of the way, right up until delivery. I’m very happy to say that all of my belongings arrived in perfect condition."
An excellent experience from start to finish.
"A very professional company who were very thorough, communicated clearly throughout and ensured our MoveCube® arrived safely and on time. The live tracking feature was very good, and the drivers at collection and drop-off were friendly and helpful. Would recommend."
How much does a MoveCube® cost?
There is no single MoveCube® price. The cost depends on your route, the MoveCube® size and quantity you book, and the services required at origin and destination.
Your quote takes into account factors such as:
- Your collection and destination locations;
- The size and number of MoveCubes® you need;
- The collection and delivery service available for your route, and
- Any additional services you choose.
Our online quote tool gives you an itemised price for your move, so you can review the applicable charges before booking.
Paying for your MoveCube®
You won’t usually need to pay the full cost up front. A deposit is required when you book, and for most international removals, the remaining cost is spread across three stages.
The deposit forms part of your overall shipping and transportation charge rather than being an additional fee.
For overseas moves, destination charges may also apply depending on the country, shipment and local customs or handling requirements. These can include charges such as customs inspection, port documentation, handling or warehousing fees.
If your destination address changes after booking, let us know as early as possible, as the available service and delivery charge may change.
Your itemised quote gives you a clear view of the MoveCube® service and charges for your route before you book.
Protect your belongings with MoveCube® insurance
Optional Basic and Premier insurance is available for MoveCube® shipments.
Basic cover protects against loss of the whole MoveCube®.
Premier cover provides broader protection, including loss of the whole MoveCube®, theft or loss of contents, and damage, subject to the policy terms and conditions.
Review the cover, exclusions and policy conditions before choosing the option that’s right for your move.
MoveCube® FAQs
A MoveCube® serves a similar purpose by providing a container for your household belongings, but unlike some traditional removals services, it is sole-use — your belongings are not packed together with another household’s shipment.
The MoveCube® is also part of the Seven Seas Worldwide international removals network, rather than a conventional freight container that is simply dropped at your property. We manage the collection, transport and destination process, and use the documents you provide to coordinate customs and quarantine clearance. You can also track your shipment online.
We bring the MoveCube® to your property in our vehicle or trailer, ready for you to load. Once loading is complete, it is secured for shipping and will only be opened where an authorised customs or quarantine inspection requires access.
No. The MoveCube® remains with our vehicle or trailer while you load or unload it and is not left at your property like a hired freight container.
You’ll be given a pre-arranged loading or unloading timeslot, based on the size and number of MoveCubes® booked, before it leaves with our driver.
No. The MoveCube® is a self-load service, so you are responsible for loading and unloading your belongings.
Our driver can provide practical loading advice and a helping hand where permitted, but cannot pack your boxes or handle specialist items such as pianos.
Use the floor sheets in your Starter Pack to check the available space before collection day. If you think you’ll need more room, contact us as early as possible to discuss changing the size or number of MoveCubes® booked.
Once loading is complete, the MoveCube® is sealed and secured for transport. It will not normally be opened again unless customs or quarantine authorities require an inspection.
Inspections may be carried out to check that the contents match your documentation, comply with import and quarantine rules, and do not include prohibited or restricted goods. This is why it is important to complete your Inventory Packing List accurately and make sure the numbering on your boxes matches the information you provide.
Yes. You must provide accurate information about your belongings and complete the online documentation required for your shipment.
Depending on the destination, this can include an Inventory Packing List, customs forms and supporting identification or visa documents. Your inventory should accurately describe what you are shipping and match the numbered boxes or items in the MoveCube®.
Our teams then use the information you provide to help coordinate the applicable customs and quarantine clearance process. Some destinations may require additional documents or action from you.
Yes, where the service is available. You or someone you nominate must be present to assist the driver with collection or delivery.
It’s best to arrange this yourself rather than depending on storage-facility staff to be available. If no one is present when the driver arrives, the visit may need to be rearranged, and an additional charge could apply.
That depends on your route and address. MoveCube® services can include door-to-door, door-to-depot, depot-to-door or depot-to-depot arrangements, depending on what is available in the locations involved.
For door service, our vehicle must be able to access a suitable parking position close to the building entrance. Your online quote will show the service available for your route.
