| During the pre-move survey we will advise whether your effects will be shipped in their own container or as part of a shared load consignment.
Most shipments are loaded into steel shipping containers. Sole use containers will normally be packed outside your home, sealed and transported directly to the docks for shipment. Alternatively, if your move is not big enough to fill a container we will transfer them to our warehouse where they will be stored safely until being loaded jointly with other loads travelling to the same destination.
Should you wish to move your car along with your household effects, we are able to offer this in either your own sole use container or as part of a shared consignment.
Items required urgently at the destination can be sent by air. Turnbulls will pack these in to airline approved cartons or cases. For smaller consignments to remote destinations, your effects can be case packed for shared loading.
We will create a detailed tailor-made move plan, including exactly what you want moving and whether the packing team need any special equipment or materials to move large or unusual items. We will make sure that the removal of every single item in your home is included in the plan, even things tucked out of sight in loft spaces or cupboards. Please remember to show the surveyor everything that is to be moved as that is how we base our quotation and move plans.
All small items are wrapped in paper then carefully placed in strong cartons. All furniture and larger items are wrapped in multi-layer export grade wrappers. Card can be used for extra protection.
High value or unusual items can be further protected by custom casing.
Once packed all items are marked with name, destination and inventory number.
