Whether you’re relocating for work, family, or a fresh start, our experienced overseas removals team will ensure your move abroad goes without a hitch.

A Swift Move offer a comprehensive range of overseas relocation services, including:

• International shipping: We provide safe, efficient, and fully insured international shipping services, ensuring your belongings reach their destination securely and on time. Whether you’re moving to Europe, North America, Asia, or beyond, we coordinate every aspect of your shipment with our trusted logistics partners.
• Air freight – fast and efficient overseas transportation: Need your belongings to arrive at your new home quickly? Our airfreight services offer the fastest way to transport your possessions internationally. We handle all the necessary arrangements, from secure packing to customs clearance, ensuring a smooth and efficient process throughout.
• Full and part-load (shared containers) shipments overseas: We offer two flexible international shipping solutions to suit your needs and budget: full container load (FCL) – if you have a large shipment, we can provide dedicated shipping containers for secure, exclusive transport; and part-load (groupage/shared containers) – ideal for smaller shipments, this cost-effective shipping solution enables you to keep the cost down by sharing a container with other customers moving to the same destination.
• Safe and secure fine art and antiques transport: Relocating valuable items? We specialise in fine art and antiques transport, ensuring that delicate, high-value, or irreplaceable items are handled with the utmost care. Our expert packers use high-quality protective materials and secure transport methods to safeguard your treasures – even more important when your valuable possessions are being shipped overseas.
• Professional packing for exportation: Proper packing is crucial for a successful international move. Our export packing services ensure your belongings are protected throughout their journey, no matter how far they’re travelling. In order to protect your belongings during transit, we use high-quality export-grade packing materials, specialist packing crates for fragile and/or valuable items, and custom packaging solutions for oversized or delicate possessions.

If there’s a service we can’t provide directly with our own vehicles – such as airfreight or specialised logistics – we take care of all the necessary arrangements for you. Our trusted global network ensures that your international move is in safe hands from start to finish.

How long does an international move take?
Moving times depend on the destination and shipping method. Air freight is faster but more expensive, while sea freight takes longer but is more cost-effective.

Do you provide packing materials?
Yes, we provide high-quality packing materials, and our professional removals team can handle all packing and unpacking if required.

What items are restricted or prohibited for international moves?
Each country has different restrictions. We’ll provide guidance on what you can and cannot ship before the date of your move.

What is the best weight to ship my belongings internationally – sea freight or air freight?
The best shipping method depends on your budget, timeline, and the volume of goods you’re moving. Air freight is the fastest option but can be more expensive, while sea freight is more cost-effective for larger shipments but takes longer. We can help you determine the best solution based on your needs.

How far in advance should I plan my international move?
Ideally, you should start planning your move at least three to six months in advance. This allows enough time to arrange shipping, customs documentation, and any necessary permits while ensuring a smooth and stress-free relocation.

What kind of insurance do you offer for international removals?
We provide a range of comprehensive insurance options to protect your belongings during overseas transit. From full-value coverage to more basic policies, we can tailor an insurance plan that suits your move and provides complete peace of mind.

Will my furniture need to be disassembled prior to international shipping?
