Household & Personal Effects
Full household and personal effects moved across borders — packed to export standard, shipped, cleared and delivered to your new home.
A household move across borders is the most personal kind of freight there is. It is not pallets and crates — it is the furniture you chose, the things your children grew up with, the everyday objects that make a house feel like home. Seemleius household and personal effects relocation treats that shipment accordingly: packed to export standard, documented carefully, and tracked the whole way by a coordinator who knows what is in it.
This is the core of our international relocation service — the full-home move, handled door to door.
What is included
Export-grade packing
Materials and methods rated for long transit — furniture wrapped, fragile items cushioned, electronics protected against humidity.
Detailed inventory
Every carton and item logged, so you and customs both know exactly what is in the shipment.
Freight & customs
Air or sea freight booked to suit your timeline, with export and import paperwork handled for you.
Delivery & unpacking
Unloading, unpacking and placement at the destination through our partner network.
How it works
- Survey. We assess the volume and contents of your home, in person or by video, and recommend the right freight option.
- Pack and inventory. Our crew packs to export standard and builds a full inventory before anything leaves the house.
- Ship and clear. The shipment is dispatched, tracked, and cleared through customs at both ends by our team.
- Deliver and settle. Your belongings are delivered, unpacked and placed so you arrive to a home rather than a stack of boxes.
Why move your household with Seemleius
The worry in a household move abroad is always the same: where are my things, and is anyone actually accountable for them? We answer both. One coordinator owns your move from start to finish, the inventory means nothing is vague, and the quote we give is the quote you pay. Our crews pack homes for a living and treat each shipment the way they would treat their own.
We are also honest about the trade-offs — when sea freight is the sensible choice and when your deadline genuinely needs air. Request a quote and we will map your move out clearly.
