If you can move yourself and all your belongings –
the cheaper this will be (if you hire
a van, it will cost about £300).
However most often you will call a professional for
assistance in international moving, and/or storage.
This specialist will be part of a network of companies
agreed to international organisations (FIDI, HHFGAA,
AMSA, LACMA…).
The company will check the volume to send, list specific
objects (including fragile items), specify the way of
taking down and putting back together furniture.
Then a preliminary estimate will be established.
On the day of the removal, a team will arrive to carry
out the task. Every box will be listed (necessary to
check if any box has been lost). Everything should be
wrapped with specific protection. Containers are then
sealed (check carefully) and sent to UK were British
movers will pick them up (a few days are necessary).
Classical problems are: containers are 32 m3 and the
more you have, the longer it may take to transport your
belongings; always check the date of delivery by calling
the company; check seals at the departure, and at arrival;
avoid the end of the summer holiday; and as you have
to check the furniture upon arrival, be sure to be able
to read and understand the list. Check also that white
goods are electrically compatible (buy an adaptor or
don’t take them, most kitchens are fully furnished in
England).
The cost is about £3000-4000 per
container (depending on service and insurance).
You can ask for details of the removal company insurances
but be careful with the limited responsibilities.
You might need to put you items/furniture into storage;
your mover should be able to provide this facility or
give you contact numbers.
