"the stuff we shipped out of Wellington in early March (Q1693) was delivered to my door here, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA, this morning. It is all in fine order and the people out here in Washington state were very good in keeping me up on progress... many thanks for your services. I will certainly recommend you to anyone coming this way with goods!!”

We’ll give you an all-inclusive quote that covers end-to-end delivery with all the steps in between. We also make you aware of every importation fee and regulation that’s relevant just to you at the other end, so you don’t get bogged down in uneccessary paperwork. Areas include:

Avoid expensive excess baggage for international air travel

Airline excess luggage can be expensive. If you find that you have more excess baggage for international travel than you expected, we can send it to your destination for you at a cheaper rate.

Vehicle shipping

As well as moving your household goods, we can ship cars, trucks, SUV's, motorbikes, motor-homes, boats, yachts, and virtually any kind of vehicle. In fact, this a specialty that World Relocations offers. See more on vehicle shipping

Air vs sea freight – what’s best?

We’ll advise you on this decision according to your unique requirements. Air-freight is generally preferable for small loads for the following reasons:

International shipments are much faster - around 7 days to most common worldwide destinations, ideal for those last minute items.
It is usually cheaper - with the shorter transit time, less expenses are incurred on hotel accommodation whilst waiting for your personal effects vs arriving by sea.
Larger shipments are discounted to a lower rate, at various weight breakpoints, up to a limited size.

Airfreight services are accessible to almost any overseas destination (well over 20,000 cities in over 200 countries and territories).

Sea freight is generally the only cost-effective option for large loads, due to limitations of space on aircraft.

Your effects can be shipped by a combination of sea and air, so if you are shipping most of your effects by sea, you have the option to send any effects by air that you will require immediately upon arrival.

Corporate/ business

We offer the same service to businesses and corporates as we do to private individuals, and you can request a quote for this.
