How we pack for the Austria route
The crossing matters. Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Cartons supplied so nothing travels in a bin bag
- Electronics packed separately and cushioned
- Boxes labelled by student name and destination room
- Load consolidated where several students share a route

Frequently asked questions
How long does student shipping to Austria take?
Transit is typically 2–4 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria. Economy parcel and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We give you a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if your deadline is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost to ship to Austria?
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.
Do I need customs paperwork for Austria?
Yes, you should plan for it. Export declaration and Austrian import entry. Transit through Germany is straightforward once the export paperwork is correct. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
Can you collect from university halls?
Yes. Halls usually need a named collection contact and a time slot, so give us the accommodation office details with your quote request and we will arrange it directly.
Is it cheaper if several students share a load?
Often, yes. If you can group two or three moves on the same route and dates, tell us — we will quote the consolidated load, which is normally better for everyone than three separate jobs.
