Moving Overseas

Australian International Moving Services

Overseas Packers & Shippers have specialised in helping people moving overseas since 1976. In that time we have established a loyal network of international removalists all over the world.

These international removalists share our uncompromising commitment to serving customers with quality and integrity. We only partner with the best.

Moving overseas can be complicated, as every international relocation is different. However, our experience means that we can tailor the move to suit your requirements. Not everyone wants all their belongings delivered to their destination immediately. We can move the belongings you need immediately and store the remainder of your belongings until you require them. Moving overseas can be stressful and inconvenient, but you can feel assured that we will do everything we can to make it a smooth transition and make sure you are prepared for your new move.

Special requirements can also be looked after. So rest assured your vehicles, pets and awkward belongings will be given the special treatment they require.

Moving somewhere that isn’t listed? Just ask us. Our international network extends well beyond the destinations above, and our Moving Consultants can talk you through the options available for your particular country.

What is the best way to move my belongings overseas?

The best option depends on where you’re moving, how much you’re taking, your timeframe and your budget.

Depending on your destination and shipment size, we may recommend Groupage (shared container), Less than Container Load (LCL), Full Container Load (FCL) or air freight. Our Moving Consultants will explain the available options and help you find the most suitable solution for your move.

How far in advance should I start planning my overseas move?

The earlier you contact us, the more time we have to discuss your options and work around your preferred moving dates, but you don’t need to have every detail finalised before requesting a quote.

Even if you’re still confirming your visa, departure date or destination address, we can begin planning your shipment and provide information about the next steps.

Will someone help me with customs requirements at my destination?

Yes. Customs requirements vary from country to country and can also depend on your individual circumstances.

We’ll provide relevant customs information during the quoting or pre-move survey stage and, where appropriate, connect you with the local moving partner who will be handling your shipment at destination. They can help you understand the customs documentation and local requirements that apply before your belongings arrive.

For many destinations, we’ll also provide access to the latest FIDI Customs Guide for detailed current information.

Will I have someone I can contact throughout my move?

Yes. You’ll have an experienced Overseas Packers & Shippers team in Australia to help you throughout the planning, packing and shipping stages of your move.

As your shipment progresses, we’ll also connect you with our trusted destination partner, who will assist with customs clearance and delivery at your new home. This means you’ll know who to contact at each stage of your international move rather than being left to navigate the process on your own.
