How will my items be transported to the France?

Both air freight and road freight services are available for sending items to France. Air freight is more expensive but faster, so if you need to send small items urgently then this might be the best option for you. If your sending large items or your not in a hurry then you can ship your items via road freight.

There are two ways to ship your items to the France. If you’re shipping a box or a small number of items then we recommend you opt for a Shared Container. If you’re looking to send a whole house then we recommend you use an Exclusive Container.

  • Shared Container: Personal and household effects will be sent in a shared container and you will only be charged for the space your boxes or goods take up.
  • Exclusive Container: This is the recommended option if you're sending a whole home load or wanting to ship a vehicle to France.
