SHIPPING

The complications and restrictions of customs and border controls are ever changing. Dracott & Fennemore have an unrivalled experience and knowledge as well as a constant monitor and response policy which means nothing comes as a surprise to us when shipping and transporting entire households or single objects around the World.

This means that your precious possessions are always where they are meant to be at the precise time they are meant to be there. Always.

Safely delivered, carefully unpacked and a comforting familiarity in the excitement of a new place.

It is what we do.

PLANNING YOUR INTERNATIONAL RELOCATION

  • ONE

    Contact us as soon you know you are relocating overseas to arrange an initial consultation so we can asses the volume and discuss in person the logistics of your move.

  • TWO

    A quotation for your international move will be sent to you for approval. It will detail Marine Shipping Insurance and the different freight options.

  • THREE

    Once a date has been confirmed, we will prepare for your removal and send you a confirmation letter with an international move plan. This will detail the logistics of your relocation whether it be by road, sea or air. A timeframe will be set out and customs regulations which are specific to the consignments destination are highlighted.

  • FOUR

    The consignment will be export packed and pieces that are particularly high value or fragile are crated in preparation for shipping.

  • FIVE

    To prepare your consignment for shipping, we will inventory and carefully pack and load. We will keep you fully updated on the progress of the shipment from this point onwards.

  • SIX

    When the container has arrived at its destination port and cleared customs, it will be transported and delivered to your address.
