Removals To Austria
In the middle of the ski season, many of us will visit the mountainous countries of Austria, France, Romania, Switzerland and the like, and wistfully consider what it would be like to own a second home in such a beautiful part of the world.
There are some that actually go ahead and make this dream a reality, and for this group of proactive property owners, removals to Austria might be an idea.
Of course it is not only private property owners that might make the move abroad. The relaxed business boundaries of the European Union means that it has never been easier to move your business abroad, and depending on the location of your target customer base, this could prove to be a prudent choice in the long run.
For both of these scenarios, there are several types of shipping available to you as you consider removals to Austria or any other part of Europe popular with winter holidays. If you are planning removals from the UK, you will be crossing the North Sea at some point, at which case it is likely that freight shipping will form part of your journey. This can be arranged by professional international removals providers such as us, and will involve the use of a container ship to transport your goods between ports.
If you are comfortable with transporting your items within the UK, you might be able to save money by driving them to the dock, before letting the shipping company take them the rest of the way.
At this point it is also worth clarifying the term 'shipping', as this has been known to confuse customers in some cases. Shipping is often used as an umbrella term to encompass all forms of international delivery - not just goods transported by ship or boat. This means shipping commonly involves either road or rail travel.
Your costs will vary according to the combination of road, air and sea you choose to get your goods from A to B. We understand you might also have certain delivery preferences, such as fragile goods to be handled with care. Whether you choose to package and wrap any goods for yourself, or leave this in the hands of your international shipping provider, will also impact on the overall cost of your removals plan. Making sure that packaging and loading is administered directly is one of the tasks we take very seriously as part of our service.
Logistics will play a big part in your removals plan, and professional shipping experts such as ourselves will be able to help you keep costs down by working out a step-by-step schedule with you. We see ourselves as your partner in the operation, and it is our priority that your goods reach the agreed destination on time, and intact.

When Will I Receive A Quote?
You will typically start to receive quotes within 30 minutes.

If your delivery is urgent, you can try our 'featured delivery' feature which moves your listing to the top of the search page for couriers.
How Many Quotes Will I Receive?
Whilst there is no guarantee of quotes, 98% of our listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are likely to find someone who can undertake the delivery of your items.
Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?
If your item requires packing materials or extra care then you should make sure this is highlighted in your listing and discussed with any transport provider whose quote you are considering. Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.
Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?
Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.
Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?
Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.
Can I Travel With My Goods?
The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.
What If I Need To Cancel My Booking?
If you have accepted a quote and paid the deposit but wish to cancel the delivery, then you should first inform your chosen transport provider that you no longer require the delivery. You should then contact us at to have your deposit refunded.
Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?
If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing. Note that editing details of your listing after publishing will result in active quotes being voided, so you will have to wait for new quotes to come in. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .
