We Offer a Range of Moving Services to UK from Australia:
As Australia's leading experts in international relocations, we pride ourselves on our top-notch international moving service. We service all major international destinations, with several relocation options to suit your budget:
- Full container loads (FCL) – the fastest mode of sea freight. Your goods are loaded into the container by themselves.
- Shared container loads (Groupage) – for the budget conscious. Your goods are loaded into the container with other goods (you share the shipping cost). Transit times are longer than FCL in order to make up full loads.
- Less than full container loads (LCL) – ideal for small shipments that need to be sent immediately. Your goods are wrapped and secured in a wooden crate and loaded with other goods into a container.
- Airfreight – You can’t get it there any quicker than this. We use a modular carton pack to eliminate the spare space that you will be charged for by the airline. Our design is a market leader in way of security and cost effectiveness.
