There is no second chance once your goods are at sea. That's why overseas packing happens at your home, to export grade: crates built for the pieces that need them, double-walled cartons, everything wrapped for weeks of ocean movement instead of a drive across town. From Surrey, BC and Metro Vancouver, we ship households to 200+ countries.
We've packed and shipped internationally since 1999, and reviews mention electronics and precious items wrapped securely with nothing damaged. Call (604) 721-4555 and tell us your destination country. You'll get a free survey and one written quote for the whole chain, packing to delivery.

What export-grade packing for an overseas move looks like
A local-move packing job will not survive an ocean crossing. Ships roll for weeks, and a half-empty box crushes under the load above it. So we pack tight, crate the fragile pieces in wood, and number every carton.
Those numbers matter, because destination customs reads the inventory line by line. The list we build while packing is the list your shipment clears on.
- Custom wood crates for art, glass, and stone
- Double-walled export cartons packed full, never loose
- Numbered inventory that matches the customs manifest
- Eco-friendly packing materials
- Furniture wrapped and corners guarded before loading
How your overseas move gets from Surrey to the ship
A full household usually takes its own container, loaded and sealed at your door, then trucked to the Port of Vancouver. Smaller loads share a container and cost less. Our container shipping page explains both, and ocean freight covers port-to-port options if you only need the sea leg.
Customs paperwork isn't something we hand you at the end. We prepare it with you before the container is sealed, and every other piece of an international move gets the same treatment: written down, priced, no surprises.

How are goods packed differently for overseas shipping?
Everything is packed for weeks of rolling ocean movement instead of a short truck ride. That means double-walled cartons, custom wood crates for fragile pieces, and no half-empty boxes that can crush. Each carton gets a number that matches the customs inventory. There's no fixing a weak packing job mid-ocean.
Full container vs shared container: which is cheaper?
A shared container is cheaper for smaller loads, because you pay for the space you use. A full container wins once you're shipping most of a house, and it's sealed at your door and opened at destination. The survey tells us which side of the line you're on, and we quote it straight.
How long does an overseas move from Vancouver take door to door?
It depends on the destination and the sailing schedule, so we give you a realistic window with your quote instead of a guess. Packing takes days, the ocean takes weeks, and destination customs varies by country. You'll know the honest window before you commit, and we update you at each stage.
Do you handle customs at both ends?
We prepare the export paperwork with you before the container is sealed, and we coordinate the clearing and delivery at destination. We're movers, not customs brokers, so the entry clears under your name. Our job is making the documents and the inventory airtight so it clears clean.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship from BC to 200+ countries. Common destinations get regular sailings from the Port of Vancouver, and rarer ones may route through another port, which we arrange. Name the country when you call and we'll tell you how your shipment would travel.
