European Shared Load

A part/shared load service is a cost effective way to move your goods to and from your destination. The reason this service is so cost effective is that you share the vehicle with other consignments and therefore the vehicle costs are also shared. All consignments are individually prepared, numbered, labelled and inventoried to ensure all items are correctly delivered to you. The main advantage of a part load service is that you will receive the Matthew James service of excellence at the most cost effective price.

European Dedicated Service

A dedicated service gives you the flexibility to choose your collection and delivery dates. This service guarantees the Matthew James service of excellence and peace of mind that your moving dates can be fixed, allowing you the convenience to make travel arrangements and plan your arrival. All delivery dates are subject to EU laws on driving time. We can confirm the timing prior to any booking.

European Premium Service

A direct service combines Matthew James’ service of excellence with the added advantage of a dedicated collection date and express delivery timescale. Handling of your effects is minimised as they remain on the same vehicle throughout. Although your delivery will be carried out in conjunction with other clients consignments, this means you will share the cost of the vehicle and your consignment will be prioritised for onward delivery typically within 7-10 days of collection.

Expert EU to UK Customs Handling by an Experienced In-House Team

If you have ever sent a parcel abroad or purchased goods from overseas, you will know that customs clearance can be difficult to navigate. Requirements can change, paperwork is often complex, and costs can quickly add up if the process is not handled correctly.

For EU to UK moves, our experienced in-house customs team manages the process on your behalf. They have detailed knowledge of post-Brexit customs regulations, required documentation, and country-specific procedures, allowing your move to progress smoothly and in full compliance with current customs rules.

Rather than relying on generic agents or passing responsibility between third parties, we oversee the customs process from start to finish and liaise directly with the relevant authorities. This approach allows us to keep you informed at every stage and ensures your belongings are handled professionally throughout the journey.
