    We collect, professionally pack and ship goods leaving Perth for Portugal — one team, one quotation, and one managed service from the doorstep in Britain to the doorstep abroad.

    We collect across Perth and the surrounding areas, including Perth, Crieff, Pitlochry, Blairgowrie, Kinross and Auchterarder.

    From Perth the load runs via Dover–Calais or Eurotunnel, then through France and across northern Spain, then the A-52 or the Spanish A-5 into Portugal. Typical transit into Portugal is 4–6 days.

    Guide prices start at £195, and the final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.

    Collecting in Perth

    Business collections are routine in Perth City Centre, Inveralmond Industrial and Broxden Business Park, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.

    Our route out of Perth uses M90, A9 and A85, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.

    If your address is near Perth Concert Hall, Scone Palace and Black Watch Museum, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

    How we pack before anything leaves

    Packing happens at your Perth 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 Portugal

    Dover–Calais or Eurotunnel, then through France and across northern Spain, then the A-52 or the Spanish A-5 into Portugal. That is roughly 1,350 road miles from London to Lisbon, adjusted for your Perth collection point.

    An export declaration plus a Portuguese import entry. Relocation consignments benefit from a valued inventory prepared before departure rather than at the border.

    Delivering in Portugal

    Algarve hillside villas and Lisbon's older districts often need a smaller vehicle for the last few hundred metres. Flag this before the day.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long does shipping from Perth to Portugal take?

    Typically 4–6 days, routing via Dover–Calais or Eurotunnel, then through France and across northern Spain. Economy and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We will give you a realistic band once we know the collection date and the delivery address.

    Do you collect from anywhere in Perth?

    Yes — homes, businesses, salerooms and storage units across Perth and the rest of Perth and Kinross. 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.

    How much does it cost from Perth to Portugal?

    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.
