Student shipping to Malaysia from South Africa

Trusted student shipping to Malaysia for over 25 years

As former undergrads ourselves, we understand college students have more important things to fret over than the intricacies of getting their personal effects from A to B, like smashing their exams and making lifelong friends. That's why we strive to make our process as straightforward and stress-free as possible so that when you ship bags and boxes to Malaysia with us, you don't have to worry about a thing.

From providing top-quality packing materials to offering two weeks of free storage on either side, so you don't have to rush your journey, there are countless reasons why we're one of the best student shipping companies in the country. Here are three of the main perks of using our moving services:

• Budget-friendly prices: at Seven Seas Worldwide, we don't like nasty surprise fees and pride ourselves on providing 100% transparency. We've designed our instant free online quotation tool to clearly itemise our student shipping process, listing the included charges for transportation, warehouse handling, customs documentation, etc. Plus, we never ask for full payment upfront — instead, we spread the cost by charging in affordable instalments.
• Flexible shipping services: whether you've decided to try a different course at another uni or are considering taking a year off to travel, plans change, especially when you're an international student. Luckily our moving services are entirely flexible, meaning at any point during your studies, you can arrange affordable storage at one of our secure facilities, request your possessions be sent to an alternative location or ship luggage back to Malaysia.
• Book online in seconds: our student luggage shipping service is built around convenience. Rather than dragging your personal items back and forth to ports and depots, all you need to do is get your no-obligation quote and confirm your purchase using our straightforward booking tool. You'll then choose a suitable date for us to drop off your packing materials and collect your shipment, fill in the paperwork available through your online account and let us handle the rest.

Studying abroad: top tips for packing your shipping boxes

Stressed about packing your possessions for shipping to Malaysia? Don't worry — moving out of student accommodation doesn't need to be a hassle. Instead, become an instant packing whizz by whacking on a few of your favourite tunes and following these simple tips:

• Give yourself plenty of time: firstly, there's no such thing as being too prepared. Avoid the moving day panic by packing up your boxes and giving your room a decent clean well before our driver arrives to collect your shipment. You'll be less likely to forget things, and the whole process will run much smoother.
• Sort your goods into Keep, Sell and Donate piles: mountains of textbooks. Fancy dress for Fresher's Week. Photos and mementoes from home. The amount of stuff accumulated in your uni room during term time is impressive. However, cutting back on the clutter is a great way to save some of those precious pennies, as the less you ship, the cheaper the cost.
• Consider short-term storage: use our secure, clean and convenient student storage facilities to keep your possessions and household items safe while you move between university accommodation, visit family during the holidays or set off on a backpacking adventure.
• Put towels and bed linen to good use: once you're ready to pack, wrap each item in plenty of bubble wrap and fill any gaps with soft cushion materials like towels, clothing or packing paper to prevent them from banging against each other during transportation.
• Don't be shy with the packing tape: when you've filled your boxes, seal the flaps and seams with several long strips of brown parcel tape. Then, wrap the tape all the way around the container's top and bottom edges where stress is most concentrated. Lastly, use a marker pen to clearly write your name, job number and destination country and city on at least two sides of each box to prevent your shipment from getting lost.
