INTERNATIONAL MOVES

International Container Shipping

Door to door full container and shared container shipping services to and from any worldwide location. Fully supported by your dedicated move coordinator to help with planning, advice and documentation who will keep you up to date every step of the way.

Small Shipping Containers

If you aren't moving the volume of belongings to fill a whole shipping container we offer two great services enabling you to pay only for the space you need.

Individual wooden container (LCL) 

We will load your items into your own wooden container which will then be shipped within a shared steel container to your destination. With LCL services you only pay for the space you use and with frequent departures still benefit from a speedy door-to-door transit time if that's important to you.

Groupage

Your items are labelled and loaded in a shared container with other customers of Bournes moving to the same destination. As with LCL shipments this means you only pay for the space you need, but it can take a little longer door-to-door as we need to collect and load all the consignments sharing your container first. If speed isn't so important to you this is our most cost effective service for smaller moves. 

European Road Removals

Door to door Removals services by road throughout Europe. Dedicated trips or part loads for smaller moves with flexible dates, all fully supported by your dedicated move coordinator to help with planning, advice and documentation who will keep you up to date every step of the way.

We offer four different levels of service for Road Removals to Europe to suit a range of budgets and time schedule requirements. 

• Dedicated Service
