    Every problem page

    My item is too big for a courier

    Parcel networks are built around conveyor-sized boxes. Once an item exceeds that, it needs a van and a driver rather than a network — which is exactly what this service is.

    My item is too fragile to post

    Fragility is a handling problem before it is a packing problem. We pack it properly and then never let it be sorted, tipped or stacked.

    I have no time to pack

    We arrive with the materials and do the packing at your address, then take everything away on the same visit.

    A courier refused my item

    Network refusals are usually about packaging and handling policy, not the item itself. Proper packing and the right shipping service remove most of the reasons they said no.

    My last shipment arrived damaged

    Damage almost always happens at a transfer point or because the packing was specified by price rather than by item. We remove both variables.

    I'm moving abroad and need help

    A packed and palletised part load sits between a parcel service and a full international removal — usually the right answer for one to three rooms.

    The auction house needs my lot collected

    We deal with salerooms directly. Send the invoice and release instructions and we will collect, pack and ship without you attending.

    I need packing and shipping from one company

    One quotation, one contract, one accountable party from the doorstep in Britain to the doorstep in Europe.

    I'm shipping something very valuable

    High value means specialist packing, documented condition and an honest conversation about cover limits before anything moves.

    It has to arrive by a specific date

    We plan backwards from your delivery date and select a shipping service whose transit band supports it — or tell you plainly that it does not.

    I don't understand the customs paperwork

    We prepare the transport documentation and the packing list, and we tell you plainly what your destination will expect.

    I only have a part load

    Part loads are the core of this service. You pay for the space and the handling your goods actually need.

    It's in a storage unit

    We collect from storage facilities routinely, provided the site has your written authority for us to access the unit.

    The delivery address is remote

    Remote and difficult addresses can still be served, but the destination access and the right shipping service need deciding before the shipment travels.

    There's nobody to help lift at the other end

    Book two-person handling and the crew does the lifting at both ends, including placement into the room.

    I'm dealing with an estate or bereavement

    We handle probate and estate consignments carefully, quietly and with an inventory you can share with the executor.

    We ship to Europe every month

    Repeat routes should run on an account with agreed rates, a consistent packing spec and proof of delivery every time.

    What insurance cover do I actually get?

    We tell you the cover position before you book, in writing, and we will not let you assume a figure that is not there.

    I need collections from more than one address

    Multi-stop collections across mainland Great Britain go on one route and one quotation, not three separate jobs.

    How much does packing and shipping to Europe 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. Specialist consignments are priced on the specifics.

    Pack & ship: what is and isn't included

    Collection, packing coordination and onward shipping through one point of contact — for auction purchases, artwork, antiques, instruments, fragile items, marketplace buys, UK exports and European collections to the UK.

    Collection

    Dedicated collection from the seller, auction house or your address.

    Protective packing matched to the item; crating arranged where needed. Not specialist conservation packing.

    Transport

    Direct UK transport, or onward to the carrier for international legs.

    Customs paperwork

    Packing list and transport documents prepared. Formal clearance, where required, is via a customs broker and quoted separately.

    Duties & taxes

    Not included. Import duty and VAT are assessed by the destination country and paid by the importer.

    Customs rules change. Documentation needs, duties and taxes are confirmed for your exact route at quotation.

    Only starred fields are required. No obligation.
