How do I Book an International Relocation Shipping Service?
The best way to arrange an international relocation is by contacting or visiting your nearest PACK & SEND Service Centre.

Here’s how the process works:
- Contact or Visit a Service Centre
- for a tailored shipping quote and expert advice
- Let our team pack your items with professional-grade packing solutions—or bring your own, with our guidance
- Select the best freight option: sea freight services for cost-effectiveness or air freight express service for speed
- Schedule collection or drop-off, then let us manage the logistics
- Track your shipment online through our online tracking system
How Long Does Overseas Shipping Take?
Delivery timelines depend on the freight method and destination:
- Express Air Freight: 3–7 business days with our air freight express service
- Standard Air Freight: 5–10 business days
- Sea Freight: 6-10 weeks depending on route, consolidation, and customs. Learn more about our sea freight services
These are general timeframes. Delays can occur due to customs clearance, carrier schedules, or local disruptions. Your local PACK & SEND team will provide the most accurate timeframe at time of booking.
