The honest caveat
We are hauliers and packers, not a customs agency. Where a broker is required we say so instead of pretending otherwise.
The service that solves this
Export-grade preparation: packing (crating arranged where needed), labelling, weights and dimensions recorded, and a packing list that matches what is actually in the load.
- Packing list and piece count supplied with the consignment
- Photographic record of the packed load
- Guidance on the commercial documentation your destination expects
- Shipping method chosen so your consignment is handled appropriately in transit

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.
Do you supply the export documentation?
We prepare the transport documentation and the packing list, and we will talk you through what a customs broker or your buyer will need. We are hauliers and packers, not a customs agent, so where formal clearance is required we work alongside your broker rather than pretending to replace them.
Can you crate on site?
Crating can be arranged where a piece genuinely needs it. Whether it is done on site or prepared beforehand, and the cost, is confirmed at quotation before we start. We do not offer specialist conservation packing.
