How we pack for the Monaco route
The crossing matters. Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then the length of France to the Côte d'Azur means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Acid-free tissue and soft wrap against original surfaces
- Movement-sensitive components secured or removed
- Crating for anything with a vulnerable structure
- Climate-sensitive items packed with barrier protection against heat and damp

Frequently asked questions
How long does antique shipping to Monaco take?
Transit is typically 2–4 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then the length of France to the Côte d'Azur. Economy parcel and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We give you a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if your deadline is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost to ship to Monaco?
Guide prices for this service start at £495. Blanket-wrapped, hand-loaded and delivered into the room where access allows. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
Do I need customs paperwork for Monaco?
Yes, you should plan for it. Monaco operates within the French customs territory, so French entry formalities apply. Discretion and precise scheduling matter more than paperwork volume here. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
How do you protect an original finish?
Nothing adhesive touches the surface. We use tissue and soft wrap against the piece, blankets over that, and strapping only against protected areas. Where a finish is already fragile we crate rather than wrap.
Do you handle high-value single items?
Yes, and we will discuss declared value and cover levels with you before the job so expectations are clear. If the value exceeds what our standard arrangement covers, we will tell you and help you arrange specific cover.
