Our cutting-edge approach to international shipping and packing makes us a leader in global relocation services.
When you choose 1st Move International for your Phoenix removals, your personal belongings will be transported safely via sea freight. Choose between Shared Container Shipping or Full Container Shipping, depending on your specific needs and volume of items.
You'll most likely need to use our Shared Container Shipping service if your move is a small one. People moving from a 2-3 bedroom property typically find this service the best. You’ll only pay for the space you use in the container that’s shared with other customers, but your items will be shrink-wrapped to avoid handling. Our weekly shipping service sees your items shipped alongside commercial goods, guaranteeing a quick process.
You’re better off opting for our Full Container Shipping service if you’re moving a large volume of items, typically used by those moving from a 3+ bedroom home. You’ll get your very own 20ft or 40ft shipping container to fill with your items and your items only. This completely eliminates third-party handling of your items, making sure they are safe.
We are the only international removal company to use our innovative shrink-wrap packing, which explains why we have the lowest insurance claims record in the industry!
We’re so much more than just a removal company. Our wealth of knowledge, experience, and skills mean you’re guaranteed a first-class service.
