Moving Overseas

CAREFUL PACKING, THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

Careful packing is the secret of a successful overseas move: there can be no compromise. Britannia’s experienced staff will pack everything for you, you will not be expected to do any of the work yourself.

When packing begins you will be amazed how much care and attention to detail is necessary. The team will wrap every piece of furniture carefully using high quality materials. They pack small items, books and CD collections into specially designed export cartons; hanging clothes into portable wardrobes; pictures and mirrors individually; and give very special attention to china and glassware.

Particularly vulnerable items can be packed into their own purpose built timber cases. After packing the foreman will provide you with a complete inventory as your receipt. Only when you are completely satisfied will the shipment leave your home and begin its journey.

SHIPPING

As members of the Professional Movers Association of South Africa and the European Moving Group, Britannia has access to the most reliable and fastest shipping services available whatever your destination.

Britannia’s experienced staff will choose the most appropriate route for your shipment. The routing will consider the cost, timing and availability of services to match your own requirements.

AIRFREIGHT

If you have some urgent items: computers for work, extra clothing, baby equipment, etc, you may choose to send them by air. This can be collected with your main shipment, or separately if you wish. Britannia, will organise your airfreight through scheduled or consolidated services, and make sure that it is ready when you first arrive, just when you need it most.

Modern container ships provide first-class services with a scheduled timetable that allows you to plan ahead with confidence. Close links with shipping lines throughout the world enable Britannia to track consignments every step of the way and to keep you informed of your consignment’s progress.

AT DESTINATION

When your shipment arrives at it’s destination it will require careful and efficient handling to complete your move. Britannia will provide you with a first-class clearance and delivery service.

The delivery crew will unpack everything, set it up as you require and remove the used packing materials; all exercising the same care and attention to detail.

If your new home is not ready , or you want to spend some time exploring before you settle down, Britannia will arrange for all or part of your shipment to be stored until your plans are decided.
