Seafreight removals

Sea freight

Most international moves occur by sea, as it is the most cost-effective and reliable way to transport large volumes of household goods. Items are carefully packed, wrapped, and labelled to ensure they remain safe during transit. Once prepared, they are loaded into secure steel containers for shipping overseas.

Air freight

Air freight is often the preferred option for time-sensitive items that you need before your sea shipment arrives, or for goods being sent to challenging destinations where sea freight is impractical. Grace offers door to door services using quality airlines to virtually any global destination.

Transit protection

Grace Easycover offers comprehensive protection for the risks of long-distance international shipping by air or sea. With two levels of international removalists liability extension, we provide financial coverage for loss or damage during transit and overseas storage—from packing to final delivery.

Shipment tracking

Having real-time visibility of your air or sea shipment is incredibly reassuring, especially for consignments which can take weeks by sea. Each Grace client shipping overseas receives a live tracking link to monitor their shipment’s location and estimated arrival dates throughout the transit.
