When relocating to France, it is not always necessary to use a 40-foot removal truck. Whether you are moving into a second home in the Dordogne or simply relocating with your most prized possessions, the part-load system, or groupage, is often the most sensible option.
At Movers International, we have the expertise to organise shared routes for transit so that you can take advantage of professional, long-distance removals without the associated cost of a dedicated truck. By sharing the truck space with other shipments going to the same location, you only pay for the space you use.
If you are seeking removals to France part loads, here are four items of high value that are well-suited to this option.
1. High-End UK Bedding and Mattresses
It is no secret that the sizes of mattresses in the UK are considerably different from those in France. If you have invested in a quality mattress or a custom-made bed in the UK, it is often cheaper to transport it to France rather than replacing it and all your bedding.
Our part-load service will ensure that these large but necessary items are carefully packed and ready for your first night's sleep in your new home.
2. Professional Home Office Setups
As more people in rural France begin working from home, many of our clients are relocating to sophisticated Day 1 office configurations. Ergonomic office chairs, standing desks, and multi-monitor configurations are high-value and highly sensitive.
With our part-load solution, you can guarantee that your office is professionally packed and inventoried, so you can get back to business as usual in your new French home.
3. Family Heirlooms and Antique Furniture
When it comes to irreplaceable antiques, you need the security of a large removal company, but may not have enough items to fill a van. Unlike typical couriers, removal companies to France, such as ours, use heavy-duty furniture blankets and custom crating. Packing your antiques into a part-load means that they will be transported in a high-security, air-ride suspension vehicle, which offers the same level of professional care as a full house removal.
4. Specialised Garden Machinery and Tools
If you have bought a ride-on mower or premium petrol power tools for a large French garden, you will know that branded equipment is always considerably more costly in the EU. This equipment is robust but awkward to transport, making it the ideal candidate for groupage. We take the time to drain all equipment of fluids and strap it down with equipment restraints to prevent any movement during transport across the Channel.
Final Thoughts
So, these are a few items perfect for groupage when you are moving to France. Instead of spending more on transporting these items, you can easily opt for our part-load removals service.
If you need any help moving your items or want more information on the kind of items that can be transported on groupage, contact Movers International. Our team will answer all of your questions and ensure you have the perfect solution.
