The Benefits of Part-Load Removals

Although a dedicated service gives you sole use of a shipping container or vehicle, a part-load (where you share it with other consignments) has lots of advantages too. The Moving Partnership offer part-load removals to the USA and a host of other international destinations; here we outline some of the benefits.

Financial - with part-load removals you are spreading the cost of the transportation with other people, so it should work out much cheaper for you. This is particularly beneficial if you have a lot of other costs (some of which may not be directly related to your removals package) at the time of your move. 

Environmental – if you are worried about your carbon footprint, then the environmental impact will be a lot smaller. Sharing your container or vehicle with other people’s possessions cuts down the number of journeys which need to be made, reducing the CO2 emissions you are responsible for (however indirectly).

Practical – if you book a container for your exclusive use, the temptation is to fill it up when you don’t really need to. You could end up taking lots of items you don’t really need, which doesn’t make sense if you are only moving overseas for a short period of time (such as a fixed-contract work posting).

Many people (and businesses) may be downsizing rather than expanding, so part-loads force you to assess what you really need in your new home or office. Equally, business owner who want to upsize to newer, larger offices, may be able to use part load management to take the contents of their older, smaller office, and move it to the new location. 

And if you do find you have omitted something from your initial part-load, you can always add it at a later date as part of a new consignment, once you are safely ensconced in your new home. At The Moving Partnership we can also include storage as part of your removals quote; we can you’re your possessions in secure, alarmed containers, either for short- or long-term periods.

Guaranteed Quality of Service – even though your belongings are alongside other people’s, there’s no reason why you can’t benefit from a high quality of service. Most of the firms The Moving Partnership use for part-loads are FIDI Accredited International Movers (FIDI is the International Federation of International Movers). This ensures that your overseas move will be carried out fast, securely and professionally from start to finish, however many possessions you want transported.
