Deliver FREE empty packing boxes• Once you have placed your order, you can arrange a delivery of FREE boxes, bubble wrap and tape. Our boxes are specially designed to withstand long journeys - don’t take any risks with your possessions. • We give you a few extra boxes to make sure you have enough, just hand them back if you don't use them. You can also complete your shipping documentation online. The night before your booked delivery, we send you a delivery time. |

Collect full packed boxes (and any not used)• You can book the collection online or give us a call if you have any questions. • Like the delivery, a collection time is sent to you the night before your booked collection day. Please have your boxes taped up with the job number on each box, bag or suitcase ready at the door. • Please let us know if you need to delay shipping, you have 2 weeks’ free storage with this service. |

Shipping & transport• If you are using our sea service, we use our own containers – so no sharing with other companies. You can also track your sea shipment online. If you are using our air service, then your shipment is sent as part of our own large air console. • All items are sent within Seven Seas Worldwide network: one group of companies (owned by the founders of Seven Seas Worldwide) from start to finish; same processes, same people with no franchisee and no agents. • If plans change we can store your shipment until you need it or redirect to a different address. |
|
Inspection and clearance• We clear your shipment through the relevant customs departments and any environmental authorities. All charges are as you were originally quoted with no surprises. • Once cleared, your shipment will be moved within our national network to our depot closest to your address. |
|
Deliver full boxes to your address• You can arrange the delivery online or we will contact you directly. Once again the scheduled time of delivery will be sent to you the night before. • Delivery by our drivers in our vans to your address. Note: if your area is outside the operational coverage then we will have to use one of our partner companies and we may be unable to provide a scheduled time but you will be informed of this on your quote. |
