Chudleigh sits on TQ13 just off the A38 between Exeter and Newton Abbot, a small town of around 4,000. This page covers something that applies anywhere and gets asked almost nowhere: what happens if the moving company cannot come on the day.
International Removals Companies is a route matching platform, not a physical removal company. Your enquiry goes to vetted movers in the AGM Group network, and the partner best suited to your destination comes back with a single quote.
International movers break down. Crews fall ill. A job the day before overruns and pushes everything back. None of that is unusual and all of it is somebody else's problem until it is yours.
It matters more on an international move than a domestic one, because a consolidation closes on a fixed date and a vessel sails whether your goods are on it or not. A day lost here is not a day; it can be the next sailing.
Ask directly: if the vehicle allocated to me breaks down the night before, what happens. A firm with several vehicles has an answer. A one van operation has a different one, and both are legitimate, but you should know which you are buying.
Ask the same about the crew. Illness on the morning is common and a firm that can put a replacement together by nine is not the same as one that cannot.
A domestic move that slips a day is an inconvenience. An international one that slips a day may miss a consolidation closing date, and the next one might be a fortnight away or longer.
So ask what the mover does in that case. Whether goods can be held packed, whether storage is charged, and who pays if the delay was theirs. Those three answers belong in writing before you book, not in a phone call afterwards.
Volume and destination set the shipping. Access here is straightforward, so the price reflects the load and the run east.

With Newton Abbot on one side, Exeter on the other and the A38 running past, international movers reach this town without difficulty.
Size is not everything, and on this particular question it matters. A larger firm usually has a spare vehicle; a smaller one may be better in every other respect. Know which trade you are making.
Buying abroad or paying a deposit in another currency is part of most overseas moves, so we include access to currency exchange through trusted partners.
The matched mover raises the export entry and shipping set from your priced inventory.
Read the terms on delay and cancellation at the same time as the price. What the firm owes you if it fails to arrive is usually in there, and it is usually less than people assume.
On a return leg, file the transferred residence claim while the ship is still at sea. GOV.UK lists what qualifies.
Ask before booking. A firm with several vehicles has an answer; a one van operation has a different one.
Same question, different answer. Some firms can assemble a replacement by nine and some cannot.
Because a consolidation closes on a fixed date. A lost day can mean the next sailing, which may be a fortnight away.
Often yes, at a charge. Establish whether that charge is yours when the delay was theirs.
Usually, and it is usually less generous than people expect. Read the delay clause with the price, not after.
Yes, across TQ12 and TQ13 and the Teign valley.
Where Chudleigh enquiries usually look next.
Terms on delay, cancellation and substitution differ by moving company and are set out in each firm's conditions. What is described here reflects how partner movers in the network handle disruption. Prices quoted date from the year to August 2026.
Read the delay clause alongside the quotation, not after accepting it.
Send the TQ13 postcode, the destination, your date and a rough inventory, and ask what happens if the crew cannot come.
