Trans Service Group provides storage for your goods if required and professional packaging with specialised products to ensure that your shipment arrives safely.

On moving day, our packing crew will arrive at your home and the packing Foreman will organise the protection of floor coverings and decor and familiarise himself with the location of goods for packing and removal.

Our packers are fully trained and experienced. You will find our team courteous, helpful, sympathetic and respectful of your valued possessions. Your belongings will be packed for export on site in accordance with the agreed packing list.

Only the very best packing materials are used to ensure the safe delivery of your consignment to its final destination. We utilise special application cartons for books, crockery, linen, clothing, pictures, mirrors, computers, bicycles and other items. All furniture is protected with heavy duty paper blankets or corrugated card while silverware, brass and chrome are wrapped in acid free tissue to prevent tarnishing. Bubblewrap and polystyrene chips are generally used for the protection of crystal and fragile articles to ensure your belongings can travel around the world and still arrive in perfect condition. Once the packing is complete, all items will be taken to our warehouse where they will be placed inside a custom built crate for LCL loads.

A packing inventory will be completed for each mode of transit indicating the type of package, its contents and its condition at origin. A copy of the inventory will accompany your goods and our overseas colleagues will note the condition of all items upon delivery.

If you have arranged storage with us, your effects will be returned to our warehouse pending shipment.

Many countries will require your presence to clear your goods through customs. It may therefore be appropriate to store your effects in transit at our facilities, following which we will arrange for your shipment's delivery to coincide with your arrival at your destination.

Class 1		Explosives including ammunition flares, fireworks and black powder.
Class 2		Flammable gases including oxygen, acetylene, LP gas and methane.
