Pre-move Consultation:
Your Crown Consultant will discuss all the important issues related to your move, including how your items will be packed and transported, all your storage requirements, arrangements for your pets and vehicles and your preferred moving dates.

Top

On the Packing Day:
The Crown Crew will arrive at the agreed time and the Crew Supervisor will confirm with you the details agreed during the pre-move consultation.

The Crew will set up the Crown Colour Locator System to keep your household organised at both ends of the move; the Crew Supervisor will prepare a detailed packing inventory as each item is carefully wrapped and loaded.

All Crown crews are professionally trained and have an average of 12 years experience packing people's precious belongings.

We use only the highest quality packing materials and can provide custom crating for special and high value items.

Tailor-made Solutions:
Your consultant will work with you to find the best door-to-door solution to meet your needs, based on your required pick-up and delivery dates. Crown offers a full range of services, including full load direct services and part load services, all to suit your requirements. Crown’s part load service lets you benefit from the cost savings consolidation offers, while providing competitive transit times.

Destination Guides:
Crown Destination Guides will give you all the answers you need to the questions you’re bound to have about the city you’re moving to. Available either online or as a hard copy, they include useful advice from staff on the ground about what to bring, tips for finding a home, how to open a bank account and much more.

Support for Children:
It’s been proven that support for children involved in a move makes all the difference in whether or not an overseas relocation is a success. This led Crown to develop colourful children’s guides, written by expatriate children around the world.

As the date of departure approaches, children can also pack their belongings in kid-size cartons shaped like Crown’s red trucks. Special address books and moving diaries further engage the youngest members of the family.

Track your Shipment Online:
All Crown offices are linked by a common communications and operating network. This technological investment means that before you arrive at your destination the local Crown office will already have up-to-date information on your relocation.

Communication:
Communication with your relocation specialist won’t be a problem, as Crown’s diverse team speaks over 40 languages, in addition to English which is used in every location. Even more importantly, our staff understand the challenges you face as a newcomer. Worldwide, one in six Crown employees is an expatriate living and working outside his or her home country.

Storage:
Our warehouses, both here and at your destination, are modern, clean and fully secure. Our facilities in the UK and Ireland have a number of state-of-the-art security features, including 24 hour CCTV, intruder alarm systems and temperature controls, reducing the risk of mould or mildew damage. New facilities mean storage areas are dust-free, moisture-free and vermin-free and you’re able to view your household effects from the comfort of viewing rooms.For further information or to request a quotation for your storage needs, please click here

Delivery:
Because of our extensive network of offices, the promises we make you before you leave will be carried out by our destination office. On delivery day the Colour Locator System will be used to place your belongings in the correct room of your new home and the inventory sheet will be ticked off as items are unpacked. At the end of the day the crew will take with them all packing debris.
