We collect, professionally pack and ship loads leaving Devon for Italy — one team, one quotation, and one managed service from the doorstep in Britain to the doorstep abroad.
We cover the whole of Devon in the South West England, including Barnstaple, Bideford, Budleigh Salterton, Crediton, Cullompton, Dartmouth, Dawlish and Exeter. Multiple collection addresses inside the county go on one route and one quotation.
Loads leave Devon via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France and either the Mont Blanc tunnel or the Fréjus tunnel, then the A4 or A1 to the delivery region, with a typical transit of 2–4 days.

Packing standards applied across the county
The same specification applies whether we collect from a village or a city centre: materials chosen for the item, packing done at your address, and the load restrained for the crossing.
- Survey of the item before we quote so the packing spec is right first time
- Double-wall cartons, edge protection and corner boards for rigid goods
- Foam, bubble and blanket wrap chosen by material, not by habit
- Palletising and strapping where the load benefits from it
Routing and customs for Italy
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France and either the Mont Blanc tunnel or the Fréjus tunnel, then the A4 or A1 to the delivery region.
Export declaration and Italian import entry. Italian customs are particular about item descriptions and declared values — vague inventories cause delays.
Delivering into Italy
Historic centres are ZTL restricted zones with camera enforcement. Delivery may need a permit or a transfer at the perimeter — plan it in advance.
- Lombardy
- Tuscany
- Lazio
- Veneto
- Piedmont
- Emilia-Romagna
- Umbria

We pack on site
We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack loads leaving Devon for Italy at your address. Nothing is left for you to finish.

Documentation is prepared
An itemised packing list with values and dimensions travels with the load, alongside the export documentation the EU border will expect.
- 5
Shipping is arranged and managed
Consignments for Italy route via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France and either the Mont Blanc tunnel or the Fréjus tunnel, then the A4 or A1 to the delivery region. We select the appropriate parcel, pallet or freight service, with a typical transit of 2–4 days.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover all of Devon?
Yes — every town and village in Devon, not just the main centres. Rural collections are routine; we just need the access details so we send the right vehicle.
Can you collect from several addresses in Devon on the same job?
Yes. Multi-stop collections are built into one route rather than charged as separate jobs. Send us every address with access notes and we will price it as a single movement.
How long does Devon to Italy take?
Typically 2–4 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France and either the Mont Blanc tunnel or the Fréjus tunnel. We give a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if a date is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost?
Guide prices start at £195 for documents and small parcels, £295 for boxes and personal effects, £395 for auction collections and £495 for furniture and large items. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
