⚙️ How international moving really works

How International Moving Really Works

The Problem

Most removal companies tell you they can move you anywhere. The truth? No single company can handle every route worldwide.

When you ask a generalist mover to handle a route outside their expertise, they often find a specialist and add their own fee on top. You end up paying for two companies.

Our Solution

We connect you directly to the route specialist—for free. You deal with the expert mover, not a middleman.

You pay one company, not two. Our service costs you nothing. You pay the mover directly.

📦 Professional international movers and packers

International Movers and Packers for Worldwide Relocations

Our international movers and packers provide comprehensive packing and moving services for overseas relocations. Unlike basic removal companies, professional movers and packers specialise in export-quality packing, customs documentation, and international shipping logistics.

What Our Movers and Packers Do:

Our international movers and packers hold FIDI-FAIM certification—the global quality standard for international moving companies, audited by Ernst & Young every 3 years.

💰 Transparent pricing guide

International Removals Costs: Transparent Pricing Guide

International removal costs depend on volume (cubic metres), destination, and services required. Unlike domestic moves with hourly rates, international removals are priced by the space your belongings occupy in the container.

What's Included in International Removals Prices?

What Affects International Moving Costs?

Volume: Your biggest cost factor. Even small volume increases significantly impact price. Declutter before you pack.

Destination: European moves cost 40-60% less than intercontinental. USA/Canada/Australia involve longer sea freight and higher port charges.

Packing services: Full professional packing adds £800-£2,000 depending on property size. Self-pack saves money but may void insurance on self-packed items.

Access: Difficult access (narrow streets, no parking, stairs without lifts) adds £200-£600 for shuttle vehicles or extra labor.

Season: Summer (May-September) is peak season. Prices increase 15-25%. Winter moves (October-March) offer better rates.

Storage: If you need temporary storage before delivery, expect £25-£50 per cubic metre per week.

How to Get Accurate International Removals Quotes

Always request written quotes from at least two BAR-accredited international removal companies. Provide:

Beware quotes significantly cheaper than market rates. They often indicate hidden charges later, inadequate insurance, or unlicensed operators.

Why we're the best choice

Why We're the Best International Removal Companies Choice

We've been connecting people with certified international movers since 2010—16 years of trusted partnerships. Here's why over 850,000 people chose us for their international moves:

1. Route Specialists, Not Generalists

Most removal companies claim they can move you anywhere. The reality? They outsource routes they don't specialise in, adding their margin on top. You pay for two companies.

We match you directly with the mover who specialises in YOUR destination. If you're moving to Spain, you get the Spain specialist. Canada? The Canada expert. No middlemen. No mark-up. One company, one quote.

2. Only BAR & FIDI Certified Partners

Every international removal company we work with holds both:

We don't work with cowboys. We only represent three companies (AGM Group) we've trusted for 16 years.

3. One Quote, Not Ten Sales Calls

Comparison sites sell your details to 5–10 companies. Your phone rings constantly. You get overwhelmed with conflicting quotes. High-pressure sales tactics.

We match you with ONE specialist mover. One call. One quote. One expert looking after your move from start to finish. No spam. No pressure.

4. Transparent Pricing - No Hidden Charges

Our partners provide itemized written quotes specifying exactly what's included:

No surprises. No "we forgot to mention" fees when your goods arrive at port.

5. Real Experience on Your Route

Our partners don't just "cover" your destination. They operate regular shipments on your route. They know:

This expertise prevents costly mistakes and delays.

6. 850,000+ Customers Since 2010

Real feedback from people we've helped move abroad.

 Katy Forrest Review
Katy Forrest
Extraordinary Katy Forrest Fantastic service! These guys were absolutely amazing! Booked a complicated house move at last minute, with two separate pick up points, and a long journey. They gave us a good price, kept in constant communication, were flexible when I realised I'd misjudged a few things, and were friendly and incredibly helpful. I messed up payment and they were super nice about it too. Honestly can't fault a single thing. I'd definitely recommend and will use them again for any future moves.
 Kirsty Review
Kirsty
Extraordinary Kirsty Une approche personnalisée a tout changé Thanks for your help with the move - it was very simple from booking to the actual move. Thanks again!
 Jack McEntire Review
Jack McEntire
Extraordinary Jack McEntire Excellent-professional and so helpful Excellent from start to finish-they were so efficient and professional at getting in touch with me right from the enquiry stage, explained everything very clearly and made booking the job a very straightforward process. On the day of the move both Frankie and Bill were brilliant, they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Any move is a stressful process but they genuinely made it as stress free as possible-I would recommend them personally and this company overall in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best international removal companies in the UK?

The best international removal companies hold BAR Overseas and FIDI-FAIM accreditation. These certifications require independent audits, minimum £10 million insurance, and proven international expertise. Our partners hold both certifications and have 16 years' experience.

How much do international removals cost?

International removal costs depend on volume. A 1-bedroom flat (15–20m³) costs £1,800–£3,200 for shared container. A 3-bedroom house (30–35m³) costs £3,500–£7,200 for dedicated container. Get written quotes from BAR-accredited companies.

How do I choose an international moving company?

Choose based on: (1) BAR and FIDI certification, (2) route specialisation, (3) transparent pricing, (4) proper insurance, (5) positive reviews for your destination. Avoid companies that pressure immediate booking.

What's the difference between movers and packers vs removal companies?

International movers and packers provide full-service packing with export-quality materials and specialist crating. Basic removal companies may offer packing as optional extra. For overseas moves, use certified international movers and packers, not domestic firms.

Are there international removals companies near me?

Yes. We work with BAR and FIDI-certified partners across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and all major cities. Just tell us your location and destination—we'll match you with the nearest specialist.

Do I need professional packing for international moves?

Yes, especially for long-distance or fragile items. Professional packing ensures your belongings survive the 4–8 week journey, meets insurance requirements, and includes accurate customs inventory. Self-packing may void your insurance.

How long does an international removal take?

European moves take 1–3 weeks door-to-door. Worldwide moves (USA, Canada, Australia) take 4–8 weeks. Exact timelines depend on your route, shipping schedule, and customs processing.

Will I pay import duty on my belongings?

Most people qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief, which allows duty-free and VAT-free import of used household goods to the UK. Requirements: lived outside EU for 12+ months, owned goods for 6+ months, moving permanently to UK.

Can I get a quote without sharing personal details?

Yes. Our initial quote form only asks for your route, property size, and moving date—no name, email, or phone number required upfront. We protect your privacy and only share details with your matched mover after you approve.

What if my shipment is damaged?

All our partners provide goods-in-transit insurance with minimum £10 million coverage. If damage occurs, file a claim directly with the mover. Their FIDI and BAR accreditation means they follow strict claims procedures and are financially accountable.
