Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pack anything myself?
No. That is the point of the service. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and take the goods away the same visit. If you have already packed and want us to check the work before export, we will do that instead and tell you honestly whether it will survive the journey.
Can you collect from a house, a business and a storage unit on the same job?
Yes. Multi-stop collections across mainland Great Britain are routine. Give us the addresses and access details when you request a quote and we will build them into one route rather than charging you for separate trips.
How much does it cost?
Guide prices for this service start at £295. Cartons, cases and part loads — packed on site, inventoried and delivered to a European address. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements — message us with the details and we will send a firm number.
How quickly can you collect?
Collection is usually arranged within 60–90 minutes for urgent same-day work in mainland Great Britain during working hours, and on a booked date for planned European shipments. Tell us your deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
