Moving to the UK

Whether you are a newcomer or returning home from abroad, Atlantic International Movers in conjunction with our service partners around the world can move your belongings to the UK quickly, safely and securely.

Your own dedicated Move Manager will be with you every step of the way and will advise you on the customs and import regulations to consider, and the various shipping options available when moving to the UK.

Which method you choose will depend on the volume of your possessions and the urgency of the move:

  • Air Freight:  For urgent moves (normally smaller volumes) and can be comparatively expensive the more you ship
  • Full container load: 20ft or 40ft long shipping container that’s exclusively yours and sails directly, secure, can be seal/unsealed at your residence.
  • Groupage: Economical, share the cost of a shipping container with other customers based on the portion of space occupied. Takes longer and flexibility is key.
  • LCL (Less Container Load): Smaller volumes that are time sensitive. Load into a wooden case and ship directly. More expensive than Groupage.

Whatever your choice, on arrival in the UK we provide a full destination service, receiving your goods, undertaking all the necessary paperwork and documentation needed for customs clearance, and delivering and unpacking your goods at your UK residence.
