    Too much for parcels, nowhere near enough to justify a full removal lorry.

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

    For Albania specifically, the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Italy and the Adriatic ferry to Durrës, or overland via the Balkans, then the SH2 to Tirana and regional roads onward, on a typical 5–7 days transit.

    • Send a rough item list or photographs
    • We size the load and quote parcel, pallet or freight
    • Economy and groupage services cost less but travel to a network schedule
    • Priority services cost more and support tighter delivery windows

    The honest caveat

    Economy services depend on network schedules. If your dates are rigid, a priority shipping option is the honest recommendation.

    Shipping to Albania specifically

    Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Italy and the Adriatic ferry to Durrës, or overland via the Balkans, then the SH2 to Tirana and regional roads onward. Typical transit 5–7 days.

    Outside the EU — an Albanian import declaration is required and goods are assessed on entry. The Adriatic ferry leg fixes part of the schedule.

    Road quality varies sharply outside the main corridors. Rural delivery is planned with extra time.

    The service that solves this

    A part-load move without removals-company overheads: boxes, cases and a few items of furniture, collected, packed and shipped to your new address.

    • Inventory list supplied for your own records
    • Flexible collection dates around a completion or a flight
    • Delivery to an apartment, villa or rural address
    • Photographic updates through the journey on request

    How the process works

    1. 1

      Send us the details

      Message us the collection postcode, the delivery address in Albania, 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 Albania's customs will expect.

    5. 5

      Shipping is arranged and managed

      Consignments for Albania route via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Italy and the Adriatic ferry to Durrës, or overland via the Balkans, then the SH2 to Tirana and regional roads onward. We select the appropriate parcel, pallet or freight service, with a typical transit of 5–7 days.

    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 £295 for this type of work. Cartons, cases and part loads — packed on site, inventoried and delivered to a European address. 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.

    How many boxes make this worthwhile?

    Anywhere from about ten boxes upwards usually beats sending them individually once you count the risk and the parcel charges. Below that we will still quote, but we will tell you honestly if a parcel service is the sensible answer.

    Can you store the load for a few days between collection and delivery?

    Short holds can often be arranged around a completion date or a flight. Tell us the dates and we will confirm what is realistic before you commit.
