How student shipping works
We work with removal companies that specialise in international shipping from the UK to a range of destinations worldwide. Once you’ve completed our quick and easy form, you’ll be matched with up to 6 trusted and insured international removal companies to help with your student shipping.
You’ll have to let them know the nature and number of items that need shipping and the type of shipping you need. They’ll let you know your options, which typically include sea freight, air freight, road freight or part-load. The type of shipping you’ll need will depend on the destination country and the volume of items you’re shipping.
The companies will reach out to you so you can discuss your student move in more detail. You can then take your pick from the companies based on your requirements, their quotes and the packing services they can provide.
Shipping your belongings overseas for university
Moving your personal belongings to a new country can be challenging, whether that’s by aeroplane, boat or train. Often airlines will have a student baggage allowance which runs the risk of having to pay for excess baggage fees. You can rest assured with Compare My Move’s international removal companies that your items will arrive safely and be delivered door to door.
Transporting your laptop, books and clothes across the globe doesn’t have to be difficult. We partner with professional companies that can pack and move your items to wherever you need them. Your belongings will be professionally packed and moved by one of our trusted international companies and can be delivered directly to your university accommodation.
If you’re an international student in the UK, our international shipping companies can also help you send your items back home. Just fill out our quick and easy form and let the movers know exactly what you need.
Student shipping for intercalating and placements
If you’re going on a placement abroad or just taking time out from university to travel, using an international student shipping service will give you peace of mind that your belongings are in safe hands. Getting help for your student move will also mean you’ll have one less thing to worry about during your international trip.
We understand the worry that comes with transporting your personal belonging across the globe. That’s why Compare My Move partners can carefully pack your items or offer the necessary equipment so you can pack your items for overseas shipment.
International student storage
Compare My Move can also help connect you with international student storage providers. If you’re coming to study in the UK, using self-storage is an ideal way to save money on moving costs. Student accommodation is notoriously on the smaller side, so storing some of your larger or personal items in storage means you don’t have to pay for a bigger flat. You can access your belongings at any time, saving you space and money.
Using student storage also helps if you’re visiting family during the holiday period and leaving your valuable items in your accommodation. You can rest assured knowing your items will be secured in safe and dry units with 24/7 CCTV monitoring.
