In this video, we explain why many people overestimate how much they need to ship when moving to Europe — and how that assumption often leads to unnecessary costs and frustration.
Key points covered:
The goal isn't to ship the most belongings — it's to choose the right approach for your move, without discovering major costs after your shipment is already in transit.
Essential information to help you make informed decisions about your move to Europe
Many assume a sea container is necessary - but it's not always the case.
The first step is thorough research and assessing your specific needs. Evaluate the volume of belongings you intend to bring. Often, possessions can be transported using alternative methods.
This approach saves the expense of renting an entire container and offers greater flexibility in delivery times. Consult with experienced international movers to explore the most suitable options for your circumstances.
Be aware of potential hidden costs and understand what's expected.
A reputable moving company provides transparent information about the entire process. They'll clearly explain whether service is door-to-door or port-to-port, so you know exactly what to expect.
Inquire about additional fees like customs duties or taxes, and whether the company will assist with customs brokers. Ask these questions upfront to avoid surprises.
A trustworthy company prioritizes open communication and addresses all concerns, explaining every detail including costs. Better to understand the complete cost structure upfront than be lured by low prices hiding additional charges.

Common questions about relocating to Europe
For most people, the best option is small-to-medium parcel shipping. Parcels are usually cheaper, easier to arrange, and come with fewer unexpected destination fees compared to freight.
Freight options such as pallets or containers make sense when you're moving large furniture, bulky items, or full household contents. In short, most people overestimate how much freight they actually need.
Request a Moving ConsultationIn many cases, no — or significantly less, if you qualify for transfer of residence relief.
Most European countries and the UK allow used personal household goods to be imported with reduced or zero duty and VAT when you're relocating your normal residence. Eligibility depends on factors such as prior use, ownership duration, residency status, and correct documentation.
Rules vary by country, and approval is never automatic. We handle shipping and forwarding, but customs authorities make the final decision. For freight delivered to a terminal, customers typically manage customs clearance themselves or hire a local broker.
If you're unsure whether you qualify, contact our team and we'll help you understand the requirements before you ship.

If your priority is low stress and predictable cost, parcels usually win. If you need to move furniture or large items, freight may be necessary.
View Parcel Shipping OptionsDelivery to terminal means your shipment is delivered to a freight terminal, warehouse, or cargo facility at the destination. Once it arrives and is available for pickup, your responsibility begins — including customs clearance, pickup, and onward delivery.
Plain English: we get it to the terminal — you take it from there.
Not by default. Most freight quotes end at terminal or curbside delivery.
Inside delivery — bringing items into your home — usually requires a local moving or delivery service arranged by you or added as an extra service where available.
Parcel shipments, by contrast, are typically delivered directly to the recipient's address, making them a simpler option for smaller moves.
Because "container shipping" can mean very different scopes of service. Price differences often come down to:
Tip: Always compare quotes using the same checklist of included services.
Yes but it's often not cost-effective unless you're already shipping freight volume. Large furniture may require oversized pallets, additional bracing, and specialized handling. In many cases, the shipping cost rivals the item's value.
Items containing lithium or rechargeable batteries may be restricted, especially by air, and can require special packing or dangerous goods handling, which adds cost and time.
Luggage shipments typically require special handling and surcharges usually apply.
Standard luggage pieces may need additional packaging for safe international transport, and carriers often have specific requirements and fees for baggage-style items. Contact us to discuss your luggage shipping needs and we'll provide accurate pricing and requirements.
