Trusted Global Network and Industry Accreditations
Experience extends beyond the local team. It includes the strength of the network supporting your move overseas.
Overseas Packers & Shippers are accredited international movers with access to a global network of trusted partners. These relationships ensure your belongings are handled with the same level of care at every stage of the journey.
We are proud members of FIDI and OMNI. These organisations set high standards for international moving services. Membership reflects our commitment to quality, accountability, and continuous improvement. Through these partnerships, we connect with experienced international movers across multiple regions. This allows us to coordinate reliable collection, customs clearance, and delivery in your destination country.
For our clients, this means confidence in both the process and the people handling their move.
Why Experience Matters in International Removals
International relocations are not simply larger versions of local moves. They involve logistics, regulations, and coordination across different countries and systems. Our experience allows us to anticipate challenges before they arise. From managing customs requirements to coordinating freight schedules, we focus on maintaining control over each stage of the process.
We understand how to handle furniture removal for international transport, how to prepare shipments for long distance travel, and how to ensure compliance with destination country regulations. This knowledge reduces risk and supports a more predictable outcome. For many clients, the goal is a stress free transition. That outcome is built through planning, communication, and attention to detail at every stage.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to move overseas?
The cost of an international move depends on how much you’re taking, your destination, the type of shipping service and any additional services you require. We’ll assess your individual move and provide a detailed quote so you know exactly what to expect.
How do I choose a reputable international removalist?
Look for experience, recognised industry accreditations, transparent pricing and a trusted network of overseas partners.

Do I need a full shipping container?
No. If you don’t have enough belongings to fill a container, you can share container space with other customers moving to the same destination. This is known as a groupage or shared-container service and can be a more economical option for smaller moves.
Learn more about our different shipping options available for your relocation.
Can you ship just a boxes or a small amount of furniture?
Absolutely. You don’t need to be moving an entire household to use Overseas Packers & Shippers. Whether you’re sending a few boxes, personal belongings or a small amount of furniture, we’ll help you find the most practical and cost-effective shipping option.
For smaller moves, Groupage (shared container), LCL or air freight may be suitable depending on your destination, shipment size, timeframe and budget.
We offer regular Groupage services to New Zealand, the UK and Europe, where you share container space with other Overseas Packers & Shippers customers and only pay for the space your belongings require. Groupage services to Canada and the USA are also available at selected times based on demand.
For other destinations, or if you need your belongings sooner, we’ll recommend the most suitable option, which may include LCL or air freight.
What's included in my quote?
Your quote will clearly outline the services included in your move, such as professional packing, collection, international shipping, customs clearance and delivery to your new home. We’ll also explain any potential additional charges or destination-specific costs upfront, so you know what to expect.
If you’re ready to get started, get a quick quote today.
How long will it take for my belongings to arrive?
Transit times vary depending on your destination, shipping schedule and whether you’re using a sole-use or shared container. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when planning your move and keep you updated as your shipment progresses.
If timing is a priority, speak with our team about the best approach or get a quick quote to begin planning.
Should I insure my belongings for an international move?
While transit insurance isn’t compulsory, we strongly recommend it. International moves involve several stages of handling and transportation, so insurance provides additional peace of mind should the unexpected occur. Our team can explain the available cover and help you choose an option suited to your move.
