You can ship UK electrical appliances overseas, but not every item is worth taking. Before adding electrical goods to your move, check three things: the plug type used in your destination country, the voltage the appliance is designed for, and whether the item is valuable enough to justify the shipping space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some UK appliances work overseas with a simple plug adaptor. Others need a voltage transformer, and in countries like the USA, Canada and Japan many UK appliances are not practical to use unless they are dual voltage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a removals company, our advice is practical rather than purely technical. If an electrical item is expensive, compatible, specialist or hard to replace overseas, it is often worth shipping. If it is old, low-cost, bulky or voltage-sensitive, it is usually better replaced after you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
