This international removal company will help you with moving abroad in 4 steps
How our international moving services work
-
Fantastic Removals can assist you with every aspect of your upcoming move (currently, we only offer international moving services within the EU). Every session begins with a viewing by a skilled surveyor. There is the option for video surveying, when necessary. All this is to determine the scope of the work and provide you with a no-obligation quote.
-
Should you accept our quote, we will dispatch a fully equipped crew to your address that will pack all of your belongings. Some of the packing materials they will use include packing paper, furniture protection blankets, bubble, and clear stretch wrap, as well as sturdy 5 ply packing boxes of suitable size. They will then use upright and 4-wheel trolleys to load everything inside the van. All crews drive modern Luton vans and carry public liability insurances.
-
If you are not able to receive your items right away, they will be stored in a secure storage facility within London, which is CCTV-surveilled 24/7 to ensure the complete safety of your personal belongings. You can use our storage services for a minimum of 7 days and up to a month or more, depending on when you want to receive your items abroad. Our national removal company can also assist you with container shipping, vehicle transport, and customs clearance work.
-
Moving abroad will come with not only the change of your surroundings but also you will be faced with a new culture, most likely a different language and foreign bureaucracy. Make sure you do your research and familiarise yourself well before you pack your bags, especially if you'll be taking a beloved pet abroad with you.

Obtaining this information we will be able to provide you with the most cost-effective offer.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How quickly can you relocate me to another country?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot give you an exact time frame since this depends on a lot of factors. After the initial survey and once we have all the necessary information, a company representative will contact you with an estimate of how long your international journey is going to take.
Q: Can you assist me with moving overseas on short notice?
A: Usually, most customers get in touch with us 3 months before their expected move date in order for us to have enough time to book a consultation and sort out all of the paperwork. However, we can also assist you with moving overseas even if you only have a few days to spare.
Q: How much does moving abroad cost?
A: The final price is shaped by many factors, such as the volume of goods you want to move, the types of properties you’re moving to and from, the country and the area you’re moving to, as well as if you own any special items (pianos, safes, etc.) and on how you want them moved.
Q: Does my service involve an upfront payment?
A: Before the move, we will ask for an upfront deposit equal to 50% of the price of the service.
