Moving to United Kingdom

Move Personal Effects into the United Kingdom from UAE

Personal and household items from Dubai can be brought into the UK without having to pay Customs Duty or VAT (Value Added Tax). This can happen if you have lived outside the UK for at least a year before you move, if you have owned and used your things for at least six months before you leave, and if you are allowed to live in the UK.

Things to look out for when moving to United Kingdom

After looking at the budget and time frame for moving to the UK, the best way to get there will be suggested. At the moment, we offer the following moving services all over the UK:

# Air freight via London Heathrow
# Groupage / Shared Shipments via Felixstowe / Tilbury / Southampton / London Gateway
# LCL (Less than Container Load) via Felixstowe / Southampton
# FCL (Full Container Load) via Felixstowe / Southampton / London Gateway

AIR FREIGHT

Within two days of being packed, the airfreight shipment is usually picked up, put in a box, and lifted by an aeroplane. The whole trip takes less than a day, but getting through customs in the UK could take up to 4 days. This is the fastest way to move from Dubai, but it also costs the most.

LCL – LESS THAN CONTAINER LOAD SHIPMENTS

If you don’t have enough items to fill a 20ft Shipping Container and don’t have time to wait for us to fill a groupage container, we will usually give you a quote for an LCL service. After packing is done at Origin, your goods will be sent to our freight forwarder, who has a weekly sailing schedule. LCL shipping from Dubai is a cheap way to send small packages that are too important to wait for groupage shipping but not important enough to send by air freight. We think this is the second most expensive way to ship goods from Dubai to the UK.

FCL – FULL CONTAINER LOAD SHIPMENTS

When you have more than half a 20-foot container’s worth of goods, FCL shipments are the most cost-effective way to send them. Because we book the whole container for your goods and there are no freight forwarders involved, this is the case. There is no extra work to be done. That is, the container will be brought to your home at Origin and loaded there. Then it will be sealed and sent out. It will be at your home or destination the next time you see it (if access permits). This is different from LCL shipping, where containers have to be put together at the origin and taken apart at the destination, which often takes more time.

GROUPAGE SHIPPING

Groupage shipping is by far the most affordable way to send smaller packages (less than half a 20ft Container) to the UK. Shipments are packed and kept in our warehouse until we have enough to fill a container going to the UK. Most of the time, the wait time at Origin is between 4 and 8 weeks. This is for packages that don’t need to be sent right away. Some of our customers use this option to ship the bulk of their goods and then book a very small Air freight shipment to make sure their most important items get there on time.

Groupage shipping can save you a lot of money if you don’t mind waiting a few weeks for your luggage to be sent. Most shipments sent by airfreight are put in crates and picked up by an aeroplane within two days. The whole thing can take up to 4 days, but this is the fastest way to do it.
