4 expert packing tips for overseas MoveCube® removals
Packing your removals shipment securely for long journeys to Saudi Arabia is essential. We recommend hiring a professional packing service to ease some stress. Otherwise, pack slowly and follow our 4 top tips below. For even more in-depth advice, check out How to load an International MoveCube® and How to pack our shipping boxes.
Thoroughly declutter:
Inspect everything in your house and decide what you must take to Saudi Arabia. After all, the less you move, the more affordable the removal experience will be.
eBay and Facebook Marketplace are excellent resources for making extra cash to fund your move to Saudi Arabia. Take everything else to charity shops, recycling centres and your local tip.
Pack your shipping containers carefully:
Create a solid base for your shipping box by sealing with several layers of overlapping parcel tape. Repeat at the lid. Use bubble wrap on everything and two layers for delicate goods. Place heavy items along the bottom and lighter effects above and away from the sides.
Fill gaps with soft materials like towels or packing paper. Once full, give your container a gentle shake. If it makes a sound, add more soft materials.
Guarantee a parking spot for our moving vehicle:
Purchase parking tickets or permits before the MoveCube® moving pod arrives. Doing so ensures our driver can park within twenty metres of the entrance to your house.
You are responsible for loading the International MoveCube®. Lighten the load by asking friends and family to help. You may borrow a trolley to help transfer containers. Our driver can offer advice, but they must always keep the vehicle within eyesight.
Load the MoveCube® moving pod evenly:
Before loading day, use your Starter Pack's floor sheets to determine how much can fit inside the International MoveCube®. Build steadily by placing your heaviest goods along the bottom, then above and around them with lighter items and containers.
Fill gaps with solid shipping boxes. Avoid using loose items, as they could easily break and damage the rest of your belongings during the move to Saudi Arabia.
What made my moving experience great? Everything! Excellent customer service and a fantastic online account to keep track of everything — a super efficient removals service all around! Moving overseas is a very stressful experience, and Seven Seas Worldwide took all the stress away! Amazing service! I will use them again and again!

An essential moving guide for Saudi Arabia
People living in Saudi Arabia value religious integrity, family unity, modesty and national pride. If you want to settle in a country rich with places of worship, cultural heritage and tax advantages, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia could be for you. But before you start packing, here are some essential facts to help with the big move:
Types of visas: there are a variety of Saudi Arabia visas to choose from, including employment visas, family visit visas (up to 6 months), and student visas. Visit the official Saudi Arabia visa website for more information and to apply.
Job opportunities: the oil and gas industry is a major employer in Saudi Arabia. Most job opportunities for expats are in Riyadh and Jeddah, the two largest cities. In-demand sectors include IT, banking and telecommunications.
Healthcare: the Saudi Arabia government invests significantly in medical facilities. Citizens and full residents have access to free healthcare services. Employers must provide expats with comprehensive health insurance.
Education: schooling from the age of six to the end of high school in Saudi Arabia is free for all citizens. Gender segregation is common. High-ranking institutions include King Abdulaziz University and King Abdullah University of Science & Technology.
Lifestyle: religion plays a significant role in society, including prayer, fasting, and adherence to Islamic customs. Extended families tend to live nearby and get together often. Popular activities include camel racing, falconry, shopping, and attending soccer games.
Relocation checklist for international moves
Even though our international removals company makes shipping household goods easy, use this handy checklist to help prepare for the move itself:
- Gather your paperwork: keep all your important documents, such as birth and marriage certificates and ID, together for quick access.
- Apply for a visa: decide which Saudi Arabia visa is best for you and your family’s needs, then apply and wait approval.
- Arrange accommodation: either sell or rent your current residence, then buy or rent once in Saudi Arabia. Renting gives you an opportunity to acclimatise before making a big purchase like a home.
- Book an international removals service: get an instant free moving quote on our website, then choose a date so we can bring an International MoveCube(s)® to your door.
- Arrange travel to Saudi Arabia: book flights ahead of your shipment’s arrival so you can settle into Saudi Arabia stress-free.
- Sort your finances: tell your bank you're leaving the country and withdraw some Saudi riyal to cover any last-minute purchases until you open a new bank account.
- Speak to a doctor: request a three-month supply of your current medication. Doing so gives you ample time to sort out new healthcare once in Saudi Arabia.
- Pet relocation: arrange vaccinations and buy a safe pet carrier. All pets entering Saudi Arabia must obtain a permit from the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture. The only dogs allowed into the Kingdom are hunting dogs, guard dogs and dogs for the blind.
- Have a declutter: be ruthless! Only ship what you'll need in Saudi Arabia. After all, the less you take, the cheaper it will be. Sell, donate or recycle what you don’t need.
- Pack your removals shipment: wrap up all your home possessions and place them in strong shipping containers. For a successful loading day, move all your furniture and containers as close to your building's entrance as possible the day before.
- Settle into your new home: once you've cleared customs, all that’s left to do now is take your International MoveCube(s)® to your new home in Saudi Arabia, unload, unpack and then dispose of it.
