We’re proud to be accredited and industry-regulated
Shipping abroad can be complex with each country’s customs requirements and local regulations being different. The precise cost for shipping or air freight will depend on the exact size (and sometimes the weight) of your consignment.
We recommend air freight if you require your effects promptly. If you wish to ship most or all of your household effects we recommend the use of a dedicated container for your house removals.
For smaller shipments, we recommend our part load (groupage) service as the most practical and cost effective option. The exact price will depend on the cubic capacity, container size, and service required.
Part loads will be returned to our warehouse for consolidation and loading.
Moving overseas can be a big undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. By planning ahead and choosing a reputable international removals company, you can make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
To book your international removal with Matthew James, simply contact us today and one of our Move Managers will be happy to help you. We will need to know some basic information about your move, such as your moving date, your destination, and the type of removal service you require. We will then provide you with a free quote and answer any questions you may have. We offer free non-obligation surveys which will enable us to establish your volume and give you the most accurate quote possible for your move.
Once you have booked your move, we will take care of everything else. We will pack your belongings, load them in to a container or deliver to a freight company for consolidation and transport them to your new destination. We will also clear customs on your behalf and deliver your belongings to your new home.

Reasons to relocate to the USA
The US is one of the most popular expat destinations in the world. It is, after all, a country built by immigrants.
01. Expat life in USA
The US is one of the most popular expat destinations in the world. It is, after all, a country built by immigrants. The USA’s sheer size allows these expat communities to flourish and prosper. Its size also means that real estate is relatively cheap when compared to most other developed countries, especially in Europe. However, like with most countries, rental and property prices are higher in major cities such as New York, Chicago and L.A.
02. Moving from the UK to USA
America’s diversity in culture, communities and geography is matched by the diversity of its weather. Its northern states experience a temperate climate with four separate seasons, whilst the south experiences hot and humid summers and warm winters. Although the US doesn’t have an official language, English is by far the most widely spoken language, followed by Spanish and Mandarin.
03. Removals to USA
UK citizens are able to visit the US for up to 90 days without a visa, as the UK is part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). However, you will need a work, family or other immigration visa if you wish to stay longer. It is also very important that you obtain comprehensive medical insurance for the duration of your stay in America, as the UK and USA do not have reciprocal agreements for health care. For further information visit the UK government’s Travel Advice for the USA website.
