Shipping Options & Top Features
Selecting the appropriate method is essential when organising an international move or shipment in order to balance cost, speed, and convenience. The main shipping choices and their main advantages are as follows:
Part-Load (Shared Container)
If you’re not shipping a whole office or house, this is the ideal choice.
- Perfect for: Exporting small consignments, a few boxes, or specific furniture pieces. It is intended for people who don’t have enough goods to fill a shipping container.
- Economical, economical, and effective: You can drastically cut your shipping expenses by sharing container space with other shipments. It’s an affordable option for smaller moves because you only pay for the volume your goods occupy.
- Pay-as-you-go Option: The main advantage of part-load shipping is that you only pay for the space you use. You get the best value for your money because you aren’t charged for space that isn’t used.
Sole-Use Container
A sole-use container offers more control and exclusive space if you’re transporting a lot of goods.
- Ideal for: Office or full-house moves. This choice is intended for large shipments in which you require a specific area for all of your possessions.
- Exclusive Use of 20- or 40-foot Containers: You will have a whole container (of standard size, either 20- or 40-foot) devoted to your products. Consolidation with other shipments is no longer necessary.
- Increased Flexibility in Packing and Load Timing: You have more discretion over the timing of the packing and loading of your belongings when you own your own container. Organising your moving schedule and making sure everything is loaded safely and effectively can both benefit from this.
Air Freight Option
Air freight is the quickest option for shipments that need to get there quickly.
- Fastest Shipping Option (Usually Within Days): Air freight significantly reduces transit times when compared to sea shipping, and your items will frequently arrive in a few days as opposed to weeks or months.
- Ideal for High-Value Items and Urgent Shipments: Air freight is the best option if you have valuable possessions, important documents, or time-sensitive items that need to be transported quickly and with increased security.
- Comparatively Higher Pricing: Even though air freight is typically costlier than sea freight, its speed, dependability, and lower risk often offer a greater degree of peace of mind, particularly for important items.

Typical Shipping Process Followed at Removals
A methodical approach is necessary when moving abroad to guarantee that your possessions arrive at their destination quickly and safely. Being a reputed mover, Removals adheres to a clear procedure that usually includes these crucial steps:
1. First Inquiry
When you contact the moving company as a potential customer, the process starts. Usually, an email or phone call is used to establish this first contact. Based on the preliminary information you supply, including the origin and destination, the approximate volume of items, and the preferred timeline, this quote will provide an estimated cost for their services.
2. Surveys Before Moving
A pre-move survey is carried out after the initial inquiry. This important step enables the moving company to precisely estimate the size of your move. A representative will come to your house or place of business to conduct an in-person survey. Video calls or in-depth questionnaires requiring you to submit images or descriptions of your possessions may be part of online assessments.
3. Choosing a Container
You will then choose the best shipping option based on the pre-move survey and your unique needs (such as the quantity of goods, urgency, and budget): Air Freight Option, Sole-Use Container, and Part-Load (Shared Container). To assist you in making an informed choice, Removals will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of each choice.
4. Expert Packing
The packing stage starts after the shipping option is selected. Expert packing is emphasised by seasoned moving companies to guarantee the security of your possessions while in transit. Using industry best practices, this service guarantees that all items—including delicate and oddly shaped ones—are properly wrapped, cushioned, and fastened. The risk of damage is reduced by this careful packing procedure.
5. Loading and Transportation
Your items are prepared for delivery to the shipping terminal once they have been packed. They are either prepared for air freight or carefully loaded onto safe containers (whether shared or sole-use). Our professionals guarantee cautious handling, effective loading, and safe sealing, maintaining total integrity until they arrive at their destination.
6. Clearance of Customs
It can be difficult to navigate international customs laws, but Removals.co.uk will take care of that for you. All required documentation is handled by our committed customs team. We handle every step of the customs clearance procedure on your behalf, communicating with customs officials directly to guarantee your goods’ safe and legal transit.
7. Air/Sea Transportation
Your possessions start their primary journey after customs clearance. Sea transit is the most cost-effective choice for larger, less urgent shipments. Air transit offers much faster delivery, usually taking 2–7 days, for moves that need to be completed quickly. We keep an eye on your shipment’s progress and update you during this transit phase.
8. Unpacking and Delivery
Our dependable network of knowledgeable local Madeira agents handles your shipment when it arrives in Madeira. Our agents can help you unpack your belongings so you can get settled in your new house faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a direct ferry from the UK to Madeira?
No, a direct ferry service from the UK to Madeira does not exist for household removals. Even though Madeira is an island, a two-stage sea voyage is the main way that household goods and personal belongings are shipped from the UK. The first step involves shipping your meticulously packed possessions to a major port on the Portuguese mainland, like Lisbon or Leixões/Porto. They are then moved to a different ship for the last sea voyage to Madeira.
What items are restricted?
Illicit drugs, flammable liquids, perishables, live animals, firearms and ammunition, live plants and soil, tobacco, hazardous materials, and illegal or counterfeit goods are among the items that are prohibited from being shipped, according to general international shipping guidelines and regulations. A thorough list of items that are prohibited will be given to you by your assigned Move Coordinator.
Can I ship a single item like a guitar or artwork?
Yes, of course! We have everything we need to treat individual items with the same professionalism and care as an entire household. We usually suggest one of two very effective choices for such valuable, individual items: Part-Load (Groupage) or Air Freight. Whichever option you select, our expert packing services guarantee that every single item is painstakingly prepared for safe international transit.
How do customs and duties work?
One of the most difficult parts of relocating overseas is navigating the nuances of local customs and taxes, but Removals.co.uk ensures that you never have to do it alone. Here, your committed Move Coordinator is essential. The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) and other pertinent international shipping laws are complied with by all documentation.
