Our managed collection, packing and shipping service exists for goods leaving Sutton for Italy: goods that need proper packing and export preparation before they travel, not a bare label and a conveyor belt.
We collect across Sutton and the surrounding areas, including Sutton, Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Worcester Park and Belmont.
From Sutton the load runs 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. Typical transit into Italy is 2–4 days.
We photograph the goods packed before departure on request, so the condition at the point of loading is a matter of record rather than opinion.

Collecting in Sutton
Business collections are routine in Sutton High Street, Kimpton Industrial and Beddington Lane, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Sutton uses A217, A232 and A24, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near Honeywood Museum, Beddington Park and Sutton Ecology Centre, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Sutton 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 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. That is roughly 890 road miles from London to Rome, adjusted for your Sutton collection point.
Export declaration and Italian import entry. Italian customs are particular about item descriptions and declared values — vague inventories cause delays.
Delivering in Italy

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Sutton 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. 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 Sutton?
Yes — homes, businesses, salerooms and storage units across Sutton and the rest of Greater London. 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 Sutton to Italy?
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.
