International Moves - Your Move

Your Pre-Move Survey

The survey allows us to accurately assess the volume of belongings requiring moving, meaning we can provide an accurate quote. It also provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have regarding your move and for us to address your concerns.

We can arrange for one of our International Move Consultants to visit your home prior to your move to carry out a full survey of your property and discuss your personal specific moving requirements. Alternatively if you would prefer, or if you only have a small amount to be moved we can send you a self survey form to complete and return to assess your own volume to be moved. This information is then passed on to your dedicated move manager.

If your requirements change from the initial service specification please let us know as soon as possible.

Your Move Plan

Practice makes perfect, but so does planning. Every extra detail is planned to ensure your move runs smoothly - and most importantly, remains stress free for you. Once your dedicated move manager has received your specifications they will start to create your tailored move plan. This planning ensures all the resources are in place, the staff, the packing materials required are all in place. Your move manager will handle any concerns you have about lifting or moving carpets, dealing with chandeliers, crating that special picture, disposing of surplus effects and any number of others you may have.

Methods of shipment:
Your dedicated move manager will advise you of the best method of transportation for your belongings to suit your individual requirements.

By Sea - either as a full container load, less than container load or Groupage consignment.

By Air - airfreight may be a more convenient option for items you require soon after your arrival.

Your Packing Services

Packing can be time consuming and stressful, so why not let us do this for you while you sit back, relax and look forward to your new home? After all, our packers are the experts. We can handle all your packing for you, or if you prefer we offer part packing or fragile packing services tailored to your own specific requirements*. (*some destinations will not allow owner packed goods to clear customs and self packing may affect your insurance options, your move consultant will advise you on this matter)

All Bournes packing crews undergo in house training, with extended modules in International Moving, by a British Removals Association qualified instructor and will use a range of specially designed packing materials to ensure that all your cherished belongings are ready to be safely and securely transported to your new home.

Once your goods have arrived in your new country your move manager will take responsibility for them clearing customs and arrange for them to be delivered to your new home.

As you concentrate on settling in and enjoying your new home our destination agent's crews will unload all your belongings and place them in the correct rooms at your request.
