  • What paperwork or information would be required?
    An inventory would need to be completed and passport details for certain countries.
  • If I am booking a transport job, do I have to wait all day for your driver?
    No, we normally collect next day from the date of booking and would give you a collection time, normally within ½ hour periods i.e. 10.00-10.30.
  • Is there a limit to the number of items I can send?
    No, we send anything from a Jiffy bag to a full 40' container.

    Unfortunately, due to the driver’s long hours driving in the week we do not offer a weekend collection service.
  • How much cargo will a 20' container hold?
    A 20’ container full of sand or water would hold 33m3 but obviously, personal effects would not and could not fill the container fully. We would normally suggest that 20-25 m3 can be loaded into 20’ container
