Removals to the USA

Whether your moving to the USA for work or personal reasons, we can help. We offer a range of shipping methods to provide you with an international removals service tailored to suit your needs. We provide international removals from the UK to all areas in the US.

Removals to America by sea

The cheapest way to send your belongings to the US is by sea. We offer different international removals options depending on whether you're moving your entire home or just some of your belongings.

Full container load (FCL)

This option is best suited to individuals and families moving their entire home to the US. You'll have your own 20ft or 40ft container to fill with your belongings how you wish. Our full container load is slightly more expensive than a shared container, but it is much faster.

Your effects will be packed at your home and loaded directly onto your exclusive container. The container will then be transported directly to the docks to await shipment to America. We will then work with our local agent in America to arrange customs clearance and delivery.

Shared container load (groupage)

We recommended this option if you're not shipping a whole house load to the US. You will share the container with other customers sending items to the US. This option is great if you're moving to the USA on a budget as you will only be charged for the space you take up. 

Your effects will be packed at your home on an agreed date and transferred to our international warehouse for onward transport to your new home in America. Your Move Manager will confirm arrival dates and liaise with you for delivery and unpacking once your container has cleared customs. 

How long will it take?

Your shipment's transit time depends on a number of factors, such as your choice of shipping method and destination.
