Packing Tips for Sending Packages Abroad

If preferred, we can provide a full packing service. A specialist moving team will arrive at your home to securely wrap your possessions and pack them into sturdy boxes for shipping. We also create a full inventory so you know exactly what you are shipping and what items should arrive. We understand this is not a service that all customers want and some would prefer to self-pack their shipping boxes. Your goods still need to be fully protected during their journey across the sea, so we still provide the industry-approved packing materials and shipping boxes, free of charge. Here are some of Anglo’s top tips for safe and sound self-packing: PACK EARLY When you are moving abroad or going travelling for an extended time, you can never be too prepared. The earlier you begin packing means the less likely you are to forget something important. If you need to pack a whole home, you should start packing two months prior so that you can take your time and reduce stress. DECLUTTER YOUR BELONGINGS Do you really need to ship the crockery set that you haven’t used in five years? Or the dress you forgot you had? These are questions you need to ask yourself. Only take items that you know you will use, need or that have great sentimental value. International box shipping is easier with the less you have. CAREFULLY WRAP FRAGILES WITH THE BEST PACKING MATERIALS To dismiss the chance of damage when you send a box abroad, you need to wrap all of your possessions – especially those of a fragile nature – with the appropriate wrapping materials including bubble wrap, corrugated card, tissue paper, packing foam etc. Examples of fragile items are glassware, china, mirrors, pictures, crockery, artwork, technological equipment etc. USE APPROPRIATELY SIZED BOXES FOR SHIPPING (and don’t overfill) If you use shipping boxes that are too big or too small for the contents, this increases the chance of damage and you could end up with a box of broken items at the end. The moving box should have a little bit of space that is then filled with packing foam to cushion your items. CLEARLY LABEL ALL OF YOUR SHIPPING BOXES You should clearly label all shipping boxes for a few reasons. Firstly, it makes unloading your boxes much easier at the other end, but it also helps to safeguard your load. When sending boxes overseas you should label all of the boxes with your full name, forwarding address and contact details. Anglo Pacific’s organisation means the probability of needing this information is almost non-existent, but in the very rare event that your shipping boxes are lost in translation, they can be forwarded on. CREATE AN INVENTORY Creating an inventory is crucial for knowing EXACTLY what you have packed, what is due to arrive and to easily distinguish if any items have been lost. Using a professional team to send boxes overseas maximises your chances of ALL items arriving, being delivered on-time and also in pristine condition. PACK AN ESSENTIALS / SURVIVAL BOX We highly recommend packing an easy access moving box or bag that is filled with essentials. This can include personal and home goods, for example, toothbrush and toothpaste, medicines, box cutter, a kettle and toaster, tea, toilet paper. You should try to carry this survival box on your flight or car journey, to ensure it is with you as soon as you arrive in your new home.

Here are some of Anglo’s top tips for safe and sound self-packing:

PACK EARLY
When you are moving abroad or going travelling for an extended time, you can never be too prepared. The earlier you begin packing means the less likely you are to forget something important. If you need to pack a whole home, you should start packing two months prior so that you can take your time and reduce stress.
DECLUTTER YOUR BELONGINGS
Do you really need to ship the crockery set that you haven’t used in five years? Or the dress you forgot you had? These are questions you need to ask yourself. Only take items that you know you will use, need or that have great sentimental value. International box shipping is easier with the less you have.
CAREFULLY WRAP FRAGILES WITH THE BEST PACKING MATERIALS
To dismiss the chance of damage when you send a box abroad, you need to wrap all of your possessions – especially those of a fragile nature – with the appropriate wrapping materials including bubble wrap, corrugated card, tissue paper, packing foam etc. Examples of fragile items are glassware, china, mirrors, pictures, crockery, artwork, technological equipment etc.
USE APPROPRIATELY SIZED BOXES FOR SHIPPING (and don’t overfill)
If you use shipping boxes that are too big or too small for the contents, this increases the chance of damage and you could end up with a box of broken items at the end. The moving box should have a little bit of space that is then filled with packing foam to cushion your items.
CLEARLY LABEL ALL OF YOUR SHIPPING BOXES
You should clearly label all shipping boxes for a few reasons. Firstly, it makes unloading your boxes much easier at the other end, but it also helps to safeguard your load. When sending boxes overseas you should label all of the boxes with your full name, forwarding address and contact details. Anglo Pacific’s organisation means the probability of needing this information is almost non-existent, but in the very rare event that your shipping boxes are lost in translation, they can be forwarded on.
CREATE AN INVENTORY
Creating an inventory is crucial for knowing EXACTLY what you have packed, what is due to arrive and to easily distinguish if any items have been lost. Using a professional team to send boxes overseas maximises your chances of ALL items arriving, being delivered on-time and also in pristine condition.
PACK AN ESSENTIALS / SURVIVAL BOX
We highly recommend packing an easy access moving box or bag that is filled with essentials. This can include personal and home goods, for example, toothbrush and toothpaste, medicines, box cutter, a kettle and toaster, tea, toilet paper. You should try to carry this survival box on your flight or car journey, to ensure it is with you as soon as you arrive in your new home.

Anglo’s cost of sending packages abroad is always fair and in-line with your unique consignment. We don’t calculate the cost of sending boxes abroad based on the weight, which can run up a hefty fee. We focus on three main factors; the size of your load, shipping method and end destination.

We pack your items into the appropriately sized tea cartons and each size variant of moving box has its own fixed price. We then calculate the number of moving boxes.

The shipping method you choose is taken into consideration when preparing quotes – we use one, or a combination of, road freight, sea freight and air freight for sending boxes overseas.

If you are looking for cheap box shipping services, road freight and sea freight are your go-to shipping method. Although it will take slightly longer to receive your belongings at the other end, they are the most economical methods – sea freight is our most popular choice. To receive your moving boxes in a hurry, you can inquire about our air freight boxes service as your goods will arrive in days rather than weeks, but this swift service costs significantly more than our popular sea freight delivery.

The termination country is a factor in the cost of shipping a box abroad, for example sending a box to Australia from the UK will cost more than box shipping to Cyprus. Your shipping coordinator will provide you with a fully detailed no-obligation quote before you agree to our services, to be sure you are happy with the costings and you can see exactly where your money is going!

We have a range of purpose made boxes for shipping overseas, all of different dimensions and shapes to comfortably home any goods that you want to ship abroad. Whether you need your shipping boxes large or small, cubed or flat, there is a suitable box for everything!
