“Moving has always felt daunting and stressful, until I worked with Manny and his team. Truly incredible from start to finish: efficient, professional, and genuinely warm. They went above and beyond at every turn, taking exceptional care wrapping and protecting each item (glassware, tableware, you name it).”

Frequently asked questions about international shipping

What's the difference between groupage and a dedicated container?

Groupage means your belongings share container space with other shipments, which is more cost-effective for smaller volumes. A dedicated container is exclusively yours, which can be faster and better suited to a full household.

How long will my shipment take?

European groupage typically takes 5-10 days door to door. Worldwide shipments usually take 6-12 weeks depending on destination and method, we'll confirm a realistic estimate as part of your quote.

Can I track my shipment?

Yes, tracking is available from collection through to arrival at your destination.

What happens if my shipment is delayed at customs?

We prepare documentation in advance to reduce this risk, and if delays happen, we'll keep you updated and work to resolve them as quickly as possible.
