Our managed collection, packing and shipping service exists for goods leaving Durham for Austria: goods that need proper packing and export preparation before they travel, not a bare label and a conveyor belt.
We collect across Durham and the surrounding areas, including Durham City Centre, Framwellgate Moor, Newton Hall, Gilesgate, Neville's Cross and Shincliffe.
From Durham the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria, then the A1 west–east corridor or the Brenner approach for Tyrol. Typical transit into Austria is 2–4 days.
You deal with one named contact from the first message to the delivery photograph — not a ticket queue.

Collecting in Durham
Business collections are routine in City Centre, Aykley Heads, Belmont and Durham University, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Durham uses A1(M), A690 and A691, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near Durham Cathedral, Durham Castle and Durham University, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Durham address, not at a depot. Materials are selected for the item and for the ferry or tunnel crossing ahead of it.
- 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
The route to Austria
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria, then the A1 west–east corridor or the Brenner approach for Tyrol. That is roughly 780 road miles from London to Vienna, adjusted for your Durham collection point.
Export declaration and Austrian import entry. Transit through Germany is straightforward once the export paperwork is correct.
Delivering in Austria

Yes — homes, businesses, salerooms and storage units across Durham and the rest of County Durham. Multi-stop collections go on one route and one quotation rather than being charged as separate jobs.
Will you pack everything for me?
Yes. We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack at your address. 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.
