Worldwide Home Contents Transportation and Furniture Storage
Transport
Seafreight
Seafreight is used for the majority of overseas removals. Shipments are normally conveyed in steel shipping containers (either 20' or 40' in length) which carry the packed household effects. Containers are shipped with reliable shipping lines providing modern equipment and vessels and containers remain unopened until they arrive at their destination.
Seafreight is the most cost effective option for shipping anything from a single item to a full container load.
Airfreight
Airfreight is normally the preferred option for items which are needed in a hurry or if you are shipping goods to a difficult destination where seafreight is not practical.
This option is generally more expensive than surface modes however, Robinsons International have excellent purchasing power in the airfreight market and our associates operate many consolidation services which have reduced the cost of air cargo in recent years.
Storing Your Furniture
Robinsons have developed the ideal storage system to ensure maximum security and protection.
We use purpose built vehicles specifically designed to accommodate our storage containers. These containers are already in the vehicle when it arrives at your home. Your furniture is wrapped for protection and placed inside the containers. An individual inventory for each container is made as each item is placed in to the container.
Your possessions will then be sent to your nearest Robinsons storage centre where they are transferred to the warehouse for safe keeping.
You are welcome at any time to visit our storage centres to see exactly how your possessions are stored.
We will ensure:
- All containers are packed under your supervision
- A full inventory of containers is provided
- Containers are off loaded directly into storage - minimising handling
- Safe, secure storage facilities
- Long or short term storage options
