International removals

Wherever you're moving, our trusted team of relocation specialists can deliver your belongings to your new home with minimal fuss and little effort on your part. Here's how our quality services work in three simple steps:

Generate an instant quote: enter the to and from addresses and as much information as possible about the items you want to ship into our free online quote tool. Once you've got your clear, itemised price, place your order and choose a convenient date for us to deliver your starter pack and conduct a site check, and then a date for the delivery of your empty MoveCube(s)®.

Pack your boxes: next, carefully wrap your possessions and, if you've ordered a Large MoveCube®, pack them in the double-walled, chemically-hardened shipping boxes that come with your starter pack. On the day we deliver your empty MoveCube(s)®, you'll be allocated a time to load your boxes and any other items, such as mattresses, furniture or white goods, into the container depending on its size (the same process applies for unloading at the shipment's destination).

Complete the online documentation: lastly, fill out the documentation we'll send to your online Seven Seas Worldwide account, including a detailed inventory to record the contents of your shipment and optional insurance forms for additional peace of mind, then book a collection date. From there, our team will handle the rest, transporting your goods overseas, clearing them through customers and delivering them to your new address. Easy!

Due to their size and weight, we ship our MoveCube's® by sea — the least expensive mode of international shipping! However, you'll need to use our no-obligation quote engine or contact our multilingual team for transit times, as these vary depending on the destination country and whether you would like us to deliver your shipment to your new address or the port for you to collect.

The best way to get the most accurate price for our overseas removals service is to fill out our free instant shipping quote form. Don't worry — it's quick and easy to submit and will give you a comprehensive breakdown of all the costs involved, including customs clearance, warehouse handling, and other related charges.

Unfortunately, many international removals companies either don't know or exclude certain destination fees from their quotes, leading to surprise costs down the line. However, Seven Seas Worldwide is committed to 100% transparency, and as our consistently high-quality service is end-to-end, we can tell you exactly what all the costs are before you book.

Each country has its own list of prohibited goods that, unfortunately, you won't be able to take with you when relocating overseas. There are some obvious items that all destinations forbid, such as illegal drugs, firearms, explosives and counterfeit or pirated goods. But also some more uncommon restrictions, for example, both Australia and New Zealand won't allow the importation of pain relief head bags and China and Hong Kong have a ban on milk powder.

For a smooth and stress-free international relocation, we strongly recommend you look at our Prohibitive Goods page before starting to pack.

Loading your MoveCube® can feel a little like playing a giant game of Tetris. Don't worry, though, as below, we've listed our top five tips to help you get everything into the containers safely and securely. Plus, our drivers will always offer plenty of advice:

1. Place the heaviest items, like your sofa, washing machine or fridge, on the floor in the centre of the MoveCube®, as this is where the box is most robust.
2. Keep the load level and pad any gaps, for example, by using a mattress turned on its side, to prevent your goods from sliding about while at sea.
3. When shipping to Australia or New Zealand, please place any shoes or boots in the white box provided with the soles facing upwards and load last. Ensuring these items are ready for inspection will make the customs process much smoother as these countries have strict regulations regarding importing items that might contain dirt and other organic materials.
4. To avoid any confusion during the shipping process and make it easier for you to identify what goes where when unpacking, label at least one side of each box with your name, job number and a description of its contents.
5. Although you can, of course, fill your MoveCube® with your own boxes, we highly recommend using the brand new, chemically-hardened cardboard containers we provide as they're specially designed to withstand long overseas trips.
