 International Shipping Process – From the UK to South Africa

Step-by-Step International Removal Process

We guide you through each phase of your move:

  1. Initial Consultation & Quote: Personalised quote based on your move size and location.
  2. Customised Moving Plan: Includes detailed scheduling, freight method, and logistics.
  3. Collection & Packing: Trained professionals pack and prepare items for shipment.
  4. Freight Shipping: Your goods are shipped via container or air cargo to South Africa.
  5. Import & Customs Handling: We assist with forms and clearance at South African ports.
  6. Final Delivery: Your belongings are delivered to your new residence with care.

Freight Options Explained

  • Full Container Load (FCL): Ideal for large household moves; your own secure container.
  • Less than Container Load (LCL): Cost-effective shared shipping option for smaller loads.
  • Air Freight: Fastest solution for urgent or time-sensitive shipments.

We’ll help you determine the best option based on budget, timescale, and volume.

Preparing for Life in South Africa

Know Before You Relocate

  • South Africa Visa Requirements: Ensure your work, residence, or retirement visa is approved in advance.
  • Healthcare Access: Understand the public and private healthcare systems—most expats prefer private insurance.
  • Education System: Research international and local schools for families with children.
  • Cost of Living Comparison: Budget accurately for housing, food, transport, and utilities in your destination city.

Cultural Integration Tips

Moving to South Africa means embracing vibrant local culture, diverse languages (including English, Afrikaans, and isiZulu), and a laid-back lifestyle. Engage with expat communities and local events to settle in more comfortably.

This is just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help. All our belongings have arrived in tact and the car also arrived without a scratch.
