Faster Shipping
We ship household goods and personal belongings from the UK every week. Unlike many traditional overseas removals’ services, we do not need to wait for a container to be filled before your move can leave the UK.
With 1st Move International, your belongings are professionally packed, securely palletised and prepared for the next available weekly departure to your destination.
This gives you the benefit to choose a sailing time that suits your own personal circumstances, not that of your mover.

Transit Times
How Long Does it Take to Ship My Belongings Overseas with 1st Move International?
Most moving companies will tell you the time it takes for a ship to travel from the UK to your destination country.
What really matters is when your belongings actually leave the UK.
With traditional removals services, your effects may wait for several weeks before they are loaded and shipped. That means the total door-to-door moving time can be much longer than the sea transit time alone.
At 1st Move International, we operate weekly departures on our main international removals routes. Once your move is booked, your move manager can advise the planned shipping schedule and help you choose a departure window that suits your move.
Choose a shipping date that works for you, not one that depends on when a container happens to be full. Below are our published weekly shipping times for our main international removal destinations.
