Why use our man with a van collection service?
International moving can often feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we provide the support you need to create a seamless moving experience from start to finish.
Our man with a van moving service is the perfect solution for you if:
- you do not have room to load a U Crate or Pallet
- you live on a busy road or are worried that a large truck won’t get down your lane to collect your belongings.
- you’re concerned about security of having your belongings on a pallet on the street.
- you don’t have time to wait for us to send you a U Crate kit.
- the weather is not looking good when you’re planning to move.
- you need additional help getting your belongings carried or lifted out of the house.
Whatever the reason, as long as you have everything packed, we can send a man with a van to collect your belongings from your home and bring everything to our warehouse. Once it arrives, we will load everything onto a pallet or two and shrink wrap it securely for you, ready for overseas shipping.
U-CRATE INTERNATIONAL MOVING SERVICE
As a great alternative, we can also load everything into one of our highly popular world-renowned U Crate 100’s for extra safety. The choice of shipping method is up to you!
Example of what our man with a van can collect from you
Our collection service is designed to accommodate approximately 200 cubic feet (5.7m3) of belongings for an international move. This is roughly the size of a medium panel van, which could be equivalent to:
- 20 to 30 moving boxes plus several suitcases and small pieces of furniture
- A small coffee table, folding chairs, bedside furniture, TV and 15 to 20 boxes
- 10 to 15 moving boxes plus cased musical instruments, sports equipment and camping gear
- Around 50 to 60 medium-sized moving boxes if you’re mainly transporting smaller belongings
These are only examples, as the exact amount our man with a van can carry will depend on the dimensions, shape and how efficiently your items can be loaded. If you’re unsure, please contact us to discuss your move.
