Frequently Asked Questions
When should we start planning our move?
As soon as you know you are moving, call Shore Porters and ask for a Representative to call round. We will quickly assess your requirements and establish a timescale, costs, special arrangements, etc. See our pre-move survey and international pre-move survey sections for more details.
Will you advise us on the easiest way of carrying out our move?
Of course, and we are delighted to help. Our free, no-obligation pre-move survey and quotation will be tailored to your needs and budget. For example, Shore Porters can pack everything, only breakables or nothing (proving you with boxes to pack yourself) – it’s your choice. We can also advise on specialist packing of items such as antiques, pictures and objects of sentimental value.
Is there any way of saving costs?
Shore Porters has an excellent reputation for providing a first-class service. However, that doesn’t mean we charge the most expensive fees!
With the free, no-obligations assessment available from our experienced team, your quote will always be tailored to your needs and budget. And if you can be flexible about your moving date, we can even advise on further cost-saving solutions, such as sharing the load with other customers going your way.
To find out just how competitive our costs are, why not contact us for a free, no-obligations estimate, or complete the online inventory.
If we’re moving overseas, who handles that?
Shore Porters, of course – anywhere in the world. Our global network of trusted agents work to our own high standards and so you will always be in safe and experienced hands. This is underlined by our regularly-audited membership of the US-based International Association of Removers (IAM), and the fact that as a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR) Overseas Group, we are financially vetted and bonded to guarantee your move.
