Packing your Belongings
It is our recommendation that we professionally pack your goods. We use the best materials available and employ the best techniques to ensure your goods arrive safely. We also have a variety of speciality cartons, purpose-designed for household good items. We also custom-build wooden crates for fragile and precious items. Every single item moving will be packaged in some form, thus if it is not packed in a removal carton it will be export wrapped. Once packed all goods will be numbered with a label sticker and recorded on a removal inventory.
Whilst it is our recommendation that we pack your goods it is not mandatory, you are welcome to pack some or all of your goods yourself. We can assist you in this process by providing you with our packing materials and a handy packing guide.
Storing Your Belongings in Origin or South America
We have storage services available both in origin and in all South American destinations. The advantage of storing at destination is that when you are ready to receive your goods they can be delivered quite quickly. Whereas if you store them in origin, you will have to plan around shipping transit and wait for their arrival. On the other hand, if you are not sure what your final destination will be we can store your goods in origin until you know what it is. This can reduce unnecessary shipping costs if you change your mind.
