Packing and shipping goods under our professional international packing service is one job, not three suppliers. We survey it, pack it properly, arrange the right shipping method, and manage it through to delivery.
This page is written for customers whose goods have already failed once with an ordinary carrier — or who refuse to risk it. Packing treated as an engineering task, not an afterthought. The materials are chosen for the route, the handling and the item, then documented.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What materials do you use?
Double-wall cartons, closed-cell foam, bubble wrap, corner and edge protection, furniture blankets, stretch film and crating arranged where it is justified. The mix is decided by the item and the route, and it is listed on your quotation.
Can you pack something and leave it with me to ship later?
Yes. Packing can be booked as a standalone visit. Most customers then ask us to move it anyway, because the packing is designed around our own handling — but there is no obligation.
How much does it cost?
Guide prices for this service start at £295. 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 — message us with the details and we will send a firm number.
How quickly can you collect?
Collection is usually arranged within 60–90 minutes for urgent same-day work in mainland Great Britain during working hours, and on a booked date for planned European shipments. Tell us your deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
