Ship What You Need Without Moving Everything

International baggage shipping can be useful when you are relocating overseas with a limited quantity of belongings. Plan the shipment around the items you actually need to send rather than arranging a complete household removal.

01

Personal Effects

Suitable luggage, clothing, books and selected everyday belongings can be planned as an overseas consignment.

02

Smaller Shipments

Discuss selected furniture or household goods when a complete home removal is not required.

03

Student Moves

A practical option to discuss when students need to send belongings overseas without moving a whole household.

04

Relocation Essentials

Send selected belongings ahead of your arrival when carrying everything yourself is not practical.

05

Shared-Load Shipping

For suitable smaller consignments, shared-load or groupage transport can be considered.

06

Storage Between Dates

Storage may help when collection and delivery dates do not line up.
