When a client in Radlett contacted Happy2Move, they needed expert support to prepare and ship a valuable collection of antique furniture. Their goal was clear: ensure every piece was protected for an international relocation and efficiently loaded into a 20 ft shipping container.

We knew this project required precision, professionalism, and a personal touch to exceed expectations.

The Challenge

This project presented several unique challenges:

  • Delicate Antiques: The collection included fragile, irreplaceable items such as sofas, side tables, and chests of drawers, all requiring extra care.
  • Export Standards: Meeting strict international packing requirements was essential to protect the items during transit.
  • Efficient Loading: The 20 ft container needed to be carefully packed to maximise space while ensuring the safety of every piece.

Our Solution

At Happy2Move, we approach every project with the understanding that no two moves are alike. For this unique challenge, we implemented a three-step plan to deliver the best results:

1. Expert Packing for Export

We wrapped each piece of furniture in high-quality export materials, designed to shield delicate surfaces and structures. For additional support, we carefully carded fragile items such as chests of drawers and side tables, minimising the risk of damage.

2. Precise and Secure Loading

Our team took charge when the shipping container arrived. Each piece was strategically positioned to:

  • Maximise available space.
  • Ensure stability and protection during the journey.

3. Attention to Every Detail

We carried out every step of the process with care and precision. From selecting materials to loading the final item, our team ensured nothing was overlooked, reflecting the irreplaceable value of the client’s antiques.

The Results

Our detailed approach delivered excellent results for the client:

  • Fully Export-Ready: All items met international packing standards, ensuring their safety throughout the journey.
  • Efficient Container Use: The 20 ft container was loaded securely and effectively, combining maximum space usage with meticulous protection.
  • A Happy Customer: The client praised our professionalism and the care we showed in handling their cherished furniture.

“Happy2Move gave us complete confidence in their ability to handle our valuable antiques. Their expertise and attention to detail turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and successful move.”
