How your international move works

If you are moving abroad it couldn’t be simpler. Your move with Gerson Moving Services is as easy as these 4 simple steps;

Step 1 - Survey

A removal specialist surveys your home in person or by video call, assessing the volume of your belongings and any specialist requirements. This is where your accurate quote is built - nothing is estimated over the phone.

Step 2 - Your move manager takes over

From the moment you accept your quote, you have a dedicated move manager. They hold your full survey file, handle the paperwork, book your sailing, and are your primary contact for everything that follows.

Step 3 - Packing and collection

A professional packing crew arrives on your chosen collection date. Every item is packed in export-grade materials, inventoried, and loaded. Your move manager has briefed the crew in advance on any specialist items.

Step 4 - Transit, customs, and delivery

Your belongings travel by sea or air freight to your destination. Your move manager coordinates with our in-country partner for customs clearance and final delivery to your new address. They keep you informed throughout - you are never left wondering where your things are.

Every move is different, but the structure is always the same: a clear process, a named person responsible, and no stage where you are left without an update. If you would like to understand exactly what happens at each step, from your first survey through to delivery at your new home, the full details are on our How We Work page.

Frequently asked questions about international removals

International removal costs vary depending on your destination, the volume of your belongings, and the shipping method. As a rough guide, a part-load to Europe typically starts from £1,500–£3,000. A full container to Australia or the USA typically ranges from £4,500–£8,000 or more. The only way to get an accurate figure is through a home survey – phone estimates are almost always wrong. See our full cost guide for a detailed breakdown by destination and move size.
It depends on your destination and shipping method. Sea freight to Europe typically takes two to four weeks. Moves to Australia, New Zealand, or South America can take eight to twelve weeks from collection to delivery. Air freight is significantly faster but costs considerably more and is generally used for smaller volumes or urgent items. Your move manager will confirm a realistic timeline for your specific route at the survey stage.
Our quotes are door-to-door. They include the pre-move survey, professional packing and export materials, container loading and UK port handling, sea or air freight, destination customs clearance coordination, and delivery to your new address. We will always be clear about what is and is not included – and about the costs that fall outside any removal company’s control, such as customs inspection charges.
Your move manager is assigned to you from the moment you accept your quote. They receive your full survey file, manage all the paperwork, book your sailing, brief the packing crew, coordinate with our in-country delivery partner, and stay in contact with you throughout transit. They are the person you call if you have a question, if something changes, or if anything unexpected happens. You will not be passed to a call centre or a different person at each stage.
Yes. We can arrange secure storage at the destination and deliver when you are ready. This is a common situation – particularly when visa processing or property completion runs longer than expected. Let your move manager know as early as possible, and they will plan around it from the start.
