    Why documents are difficult to ship

    Every one of these risks gets worse over a long journey to Poland, with loading, a sea or tunnel crossing and unloading at the far end.

    That is why this is a survey-first job. We look at the piece, decide the materials, and then quote — rather than quoting a box size and hoping.

    How we pack documents

    • Rigid envelope or document case
    • Waterproof inner sleeve
    • Sealed and signed at collection
    • Carried in the cab, not the load space
    • Handed over against signature

    Getting it to Poland

    Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Poland, then the A2 east to Poznań, Łódź and Warsaw or the A4 for the south. Typical transit 2–4 days.

    Export declaration and Polish import entry. Personal effects moving with a relocation need an itemised inventory with values.

    Older apartment blocks often have small lifts and tight stairwells. Confirm floor level and lift dimensions when booking furniture.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you pack documents at my address?

    Yes — that is how we do it. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and load the same visit. Nothing is left for you to finish and nothing is packed by somebody who has not seen the item.

    How much does it cost to ship documents to Poland?

    Guide prices for this category start at £195. Contracts, certificates, samples and small sealed items packed, prepared for export and shipped internationally. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.

    How long will it take to reach Poland?

    Typically 2–4 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Poland. If you have a fixed date, tell us and we will plan the crossing around it or tell you it is not realistic.

    Do I need to pack anything myself?

    No. That is the point of the service. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and take the goods away the same visit. If you have already packed and want us to check the work before export, we will do that instead and tell you honestly whether it will survive the journey.
