    Recurring European movements being booked ad hoc, at a different price and standard each time.

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

    We collect anywhere in mainland Great Britain, pack at your address, and arrange delivery across Europe.

    The short answer

    What we actually do about it

    • Tell us your routes, volumes and frequency
    • We agree rates and payment terms
    • The same packing spec is applied every consignment
    • Consolidated invoicing rather than job-by-job payment

    Not sure how it should be packed?

    Send a photograph on WhatsApp and we will tell you exactly what we would do — and what it costs.

    The honest caveat

    Account rates depend on real, repeatable volume. If the volume is occasional we will quote job by job and be straight about it.

    The service that solves this

    Repeatable, accountable movements for trade customers — booked against an account, evidenced on delivery, invoiced cleanly.

    • Named account contact and agreed rates
    • Proof of delivery issued against each consignment
    • Consolidated invoicing rather than job-by-job payment
    • Priority shipping options available where the timescale demands it

    How the process works

    1. 1

      Send us the details

      Message us the collection postcode, the delivery address, and what is travelling — dimensions, weight, rough value and photographs if you have them.

    2. 2

      We quote in writing

      One figure covering collection, packing materials, labour and transport. The variables are stated, so you can see exactly what is driving the price.

    3. 3

      We pack on site

      We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack your goods at your address. Nothing is left for you to finish.

    4. 4

      Documentation is prepared

      An itemised packing list with values and dimensions travels with the load, alongside the export documentation.

    5. 5

      Shipping is arranged and managed

      We select the appropriate parcel, pallet or freight service for the consignment and manage it through to delivery.

    6. 6

      Delivered and evidenced

      Handed over against a signature, placed into the room where access allows, and photographed on delivery.

    Frequently asked questions

    What will it cost?

    Guide prices start at Instant Quote for this type of work. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.

    How quickly can you help?

    Message us on WhatsApp with the details and you will get a considered answer the same day during working hours. Urgent collections in mainland Great Britain can often be arranged within 60–90 minutes.

    Can we open a trade account?

    Yes. If you have regular European movements we will agree rates and payment terms rather than quoting each job from scratch. Message us with your typical routes and volumes and we will put something concrete in front of you.

    Can you handle exhibition deadlines?

    Yes, and they are planned backwards from the hall's access window. Stand build times are unforgiving, so we book the crossing and driver hours around your slot, not the other way round.
