Info over 1st Move International Limited
Geschreven door het bedrijf
Here at 1st Move International, we have been packing, moving and shipping household goods, furniture and personal effects overseas for more than 25 years.
What We Do Best
Faster Shipping
Unlike other movers, we never have to wait for a container to be full before we can ship out your belongings.
Thanks to our unbeatable packing, we're able to ship using weekly consolidated container shipping services, allowing us to offer our customers faster, guaranteed weekly shipping from the UK.
Once packed, your shipment is immediately booked onto the next weekly sailing. No waiting!
Visit our website to learn more about how we can offer faster shipping from the UK.
Unbeatable Packing
Our packing methods are simply exceptional. We never ship items loose inside of a container. All shipments are carefully packed and arranged onto their own individual pallets.
Palletisation drastically reduces handling of individual items during the moving process, increases efficiency when loading/unloading and offers the absolute best protection for your prized possessions on their journey to your home overseas.
Visit our website to learn all about our safer packing procedures.
Clear & Accurate Pricing
Our packing allows us to measure your shipment exactly. We never have to estimate the volume of your goods and once packed, you will be provided with the EXACT volume of your shipment and a photo of your pallets will be sent directly to you. No guessing!
Our Services
We offer international removals services from the UK to the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Dubai, Cyprus, Malta, Singapore, South Africa, the Cayman Islands, Singapore and many more popular destinations!

1st Move International worked with me from the very first phone call explaining everything regarding the shipment of my belongings from the UK to the USA. They made the whole process easy and stress free from start to finish. My belongings arrived in the US within 5 weeks and were delivered straight to my garage. I would highly recommend them for any move abroad.

Our belongings were pack on pallets carefully and wrapped to insure the protection of our property. The pick-up and delivering of our belongings were both timely and effortless. The team at 1st Move International limited we helpful, very professional and made our move a little bit easier.

Everything arrived safely and in good time
Everything arrived safely and in good time. I had a slight problem with the final delivery of items into the house, but this was very promptly sorted out by the parties concerned. These were subcontractors to 1st Move International rather than the 1st Move itself.
The staff at Bristol, and the crew that came to collect my consignment were consistently excellent.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're very pleased to hear that your shipment from York to Kentucky arrived safely and in good time.
While we’re sorry there was a small issue during the final delivery, we’re glad to hear it was resolved quickly by the delivery team. International moves often involve trusted local partners for the final stage, so it’s great to know the matter was handled promptly.
It’s also wonderful to hear your kind comments about our Bristol team and the collection crew — we’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to them. Thank you again for choosing 1st Move International, and we wish you all the best settling into your new home in Kentucky.

Collecting and packing goods end of…
Collecting and packing goods end of Sept - excellent. Keeping in contact - excellent. Quality of packing when left UK - excellent. Goods arrived in around 3 months, but Australian customs delayed inspection as it was Christmas time. All goods delivered on 18 Jan - excellent. Unpacked and found several damaged items in the boxes that customs inspected - shame you have no control over them.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the packing team did a great job and that everything arrived in Australia safely and in perfect condition.
A great end to end service for shipping…
A great end to end service for shipping personal effects abroad to Cyprus.
The whole process from the initial enquiry up to completion was easy and painless. All the prep work for the estimate and shipping admin needed was all easily done online.
When the guys came to pack up my stuff it was really quick and easy and the final prep before loading included photos showing the sealed pallets ready to ship. I even managed to track the ship using its name. At arrival in Cyprus the agents dealt with customs and home delivery with speed and a good professional service. I expected the pallets to be offloaded to my driveway but the guys even unpacked and brought everything into the house for me. Easy, quick and professional from end to end. Thankfully for me this is the last move of this type but if i was doing it again I'd definitely use 1st move again.

We’re pleased to hear your move to Cyprus went smoothly from start to finish, and that the packing, tracking updates, and final delivery met your expectations. It’s especially nice to hear the team were able to help right through to unpacking.
Fantastic
Had issues with another removal company as im in the USA and my items were in storage in the UK. So I contacted this company and they were brilliant. They collected my items from storage within the week of contact. Kept me updated all the way through.
Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review. We’re really pleased we could step in and help after your previous experience, and that we were able to collect your items from storage so quickly. Keeping you fully updated throughout the move is very important to us, so it’s great to hear this made a difference. Thank you for your recommendation — it truly means a lot to the team.
Do not use
Based on our personal experience, we would not choose this company again.
The only positive aspect of our move was the delivery teams in both the UK and Perth, who were polite and professional.
Our belongings departed the UK on 11th September and arrived to us in Perth on 19th January. During the sales process, we were given assurances over the phone with the sales team, regarding cost transparency, delivery times, container sharing, and the quality and ease of the insurance claims process. In our experience, these assurances were not reflected in the outcome.
We encountered additional charges that were not clearly explained upfront, delivery times that differed significantly from what we were led to expect, and some items arrived damaged. Since delivery, our attempts to contact customer service in the UK regarding an insurance claim have not received a response to date.
While the Perth delivery was handled by a partner company, the issues we are experiencing relate primarily to communication, clarity of costs, and post-delivery support from the original company. However, I did complain to the partner company based in Australia regarding their poor communication, and this was acknowledged and they apologised.
Overall, this review reflects our personal experience, and we would recommend that others carefully compare providers and ensure all costs, timelines, and claims processes are clearly documented before committing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for recognising the efforts of the delivery teams in both the UK and Perth. We’re pleased to hear that the collection and final delivery teams provided a positive experience, and we’re sorry that the overall experience did not meet your expectations.
We appreciate how challenging and stressful an international move can be, particularly when multiple parties and external processes are involved. While your shipment progressed as planned through collection, shipment and arrival into Australia, we recognise that the time taken to reach final delivery was frustrating, and we’re sorry for the impact this had on you.
We’re also sorry for the frustration caused following delivery regarding your damage enquiry. We acknowledge that there was a delay on our side in directing this correctly, which has since been resolved, and full details on how to proceed with your insurance claim have now been provided.
Feedback regarding communication, pricing clarity and expectations has been reviewed internally, and we regret that this was not your experience.

Highly Recommend!!!
Highly Recommend 1st Move International! We used them for our move from London to South Carolina (US) and it was smooth and easy. The team is extremely friendly and in communication the entire time. If I had a question, they were speedy to respond. It took 7 weeks door-to-door (note: this was over the Dec holiday period). Everything arrived exactly as it shipped - no issues with missing or broken items.

Outstanding
The company were so helpful and transparent in all the phases of the move. It was a difficult time after losing a family member, but Tess in particular was able to guide us through each step. We had so much support, even for a small move, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 1st Move again, they were fantastic.

Throughout the entire process
Throughout the entire process, I felt well taken care of. Relocating globally is a significant undertaking, but this team made it seem effortless. Everything we owned arrived intact and within the promised schedule. The service provided, from packing in the UK to unpacking in the UAE, was excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Not happy with the price and revised price
I liked the fact they were very professional what I didn't like was you gave me a price but when you came and pa kaged everything up and then gave me a revised price my price doubled which I was not happy about. I ws now in a position that if I asked for my stuff back I was told that I would have to pay a storage fee or I had to go with it and pay the higher price. I asked for justification and got a bit off the new price but it was still no way neay my original qoatation.
