Who this service is for
A better fit when you have more than one parcel, but not a full house move
Traditional international removals are designed for furniture, pallets and full household moves. Ordinary parcel websites are designed around a single ready-to-ship box. Many customers sit in the middle: they are moving abroad with clothes, books, shoes, kitchen items, documents and other personal effects packed into several cartons.
That middle ground is where Megway can help. You can bring everything to our Northampton parcel centre, or complete the shipping form from home. We can help you understand the information needed for each physical piece, prepare the customs declaration and identify courier options that fit the shipment.
You do not need to know the final courier before you contact us. The right service depends on destination, parcel dimensions, actual weight, volumetric weight, contents, value and whether you want collection or will bring the shipment into store.

Practical guidance
What should you take — and what should you ship?
Items that are heavy, bulky or not needed immediately can be better candidates for courier shipping than checked airline baggage. Clothes, books, shoes and many ordinary household effects are common examples, subject to courier and destination restrictions.
Keep passports, travel documents, essential medication, valuables and anything you need immediately with you. Before packing unusual items, liquids, batteries, food, aerosols or high-value goods, ask us to check whether the chosen courier and destination permit them.
What affects the price of moving boxes abroad?
We avoid made-up “from” prices for a multi-box move because the real cost changes materially with the shipment details.
Personal effects still need a proper customs declaration
“Personal belongings” is usually too vague on its own. Customs declarations should describe what is actually inside: for example used clothing, books, shoes, kitchen utensils or personal documents, with sensible quantities and values.
If you are sending several boxes in one shipment, use one combined contents declaration covering everything across those boxes. You do not need to duplicate the same declaration for every piece in our form.
Good declaration
“10 used cotton shirts, 5 books, 3 pairs used shoes”
Too vague
“Stuff” / “miscellaneous” / only “personal belongings”
Choose the right type of service
Courier boxes, airline baggage or full removals?
Airline baggage
Best for essentials you need immediately and items you want to keep with you during travel.
2–10 boxes / personal effects
Ideal when you have more than normal luggage but do not need furniture, pallets or a household container.
International removals
Usually better for furniture, appliances, large household moves, pallets or container-scale consignments.
