Experience with international shipments
We've packed for European and worldwide moves since 2012, so we know what survives a long journey and what doesn't.
Materials suited to freight, not just removals
Export packing uses different materials and techniques to a standard house move, and that's what we use.

Export packing pricing depends on how much you're shipping and how much specialist handling it needs, not a flat rate per box.
Your quote considers:
Volume: number of boxes and items, from a few pieces to a full household
Item type: standard belongings versus fragile, high-value, or awkward items
Shipping method: packing requirements differ between groupage, container, and air freight
Furniture: whether disassembly and specialist wrapping is needed
Materials: standard export packing or additional protection for valuables
Timing: standard scheduling or an expedited packing date
What you'll get in your quote
A clear written quote covering materials, labour, and an inventory of what's included, so there are no surprises once packing is underway.
Industry accreditations
British Association of Removers (BAR) member with full Ombudsman approval. Which? Trusted Trader status.
Experienced teams
Trained specifically in export packing standards, not just domestic removals packing.
Comprehensive insurance
Goods in transit cover included, with additional high-value insurance available for valuable or fragile items.
How is export packing different from normal packing?
Export packing uses reinforced materials and techniques designed to withstand weeks in transit, multiple handling points, and customs inspection. Standard house-move packing isn't built for that.
Can I use export packing without booking a full international move?
Yes. We offer export packing as a standalone service if you're arranging shipping separately or using another provider for transit.
Do you pack furniture for export?
Yes, furniture is disassembled where needed and wrapped for the length of the journey, not just a short drive.
Will my packed items be ready for customs inspection?
Yes, everything is labelled clearly and we provide an inventory, which supports customs checks at your destination.
We provide export packing for customers across London, the Home Counties, and the wider UK. Based in Slough, we're well positioned to prepare shipments heading to European and international destinations.
