In 2018, Happy2Move helped a couple relocate from London to their new home in central Paris, near Pont de Tolbiac. The move involved transporting all their belongings securely across international borders while ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

The Challenge

This international move came with several logistical and operational challenges:

  • Full Export Packing: Preparing the couple’s belongings for a long journey, ensuring everything was securely packed for international transport.
  • Cross-Border Coordination: The journey spanned multiple stages—London to Dover, Dover to Calais via ferry, and Calais to Paris.
  • Urban Delivery: Delivering to a central Paris location required careful navigation of narrow streets and busy traffic near Pont de Tolbiac.

Our Solution

Tailored Plan

Happy2Move implemented a step-by-step strategy to meet the client’s needs:

  1. Comprehensive Export Packing: Our team packed the couple’s belongings with care, using high-quality materials to ensure they were protected for the cross-border journey.
  2. Reliable Transport: A Luton van was loaded and secured with all items, ensuring they remained safe and undamaged during the trip.
  3. Detailed Route Planning: We carefully coordinated the journey, ensuring smooth transitions at every stage—London to Dover, ferry from Dover to Calais, and the final drive to Paris.

Execution Details

  • Expert Packing: Fragile and valuable items were individually wrapped, boxed, and secured to handle the long-distance journey.
  • Efficient Logistics: Our team managed the journey through each stage, including ferry transitions and customs checks, without delays.
  • Stress-Free Delivery: Upon arrival in Paris, the team unloaded the belongings with care, placing them in the couple’s new home.

The Results

The relocation was successfully completed within the agreed timeline, with all belongings arriving safely and securely in Paris. The couple was able to settle into their new home without any concerns about their possessions.

Client Satisfaction

The couple praised Happy2Move for our attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to manage the complexities of an international move. They particularly appreciated the smooth packing and delivery process.
