Why The Moving Partnership Can Offer Such Competitive Removals Rates
This blog looks at the reasons why The Moving Partnership can offer such competitive removals rates to all its destination countries – whether it’s in Europe or further afield.
It will take around three minutes to read.
One of our Unique Selling Points at The Moving Partnership is our pricing. We can offer competitive removals rates to many parts of the world – from Cyprus to China, from Scandinavia to South Africa, or from the USA to the UAE. Here we explain the key reasons why.
The Financial Aspects
Because we manage such a large volume of moves globally, we can "bulk buy" services from our partners. We can negotiate preferential trade rates with removal firms that the general public cannot access directly.
As we operate more as a management hub, we don't have the same massive fleet maintenance and storage facility costs that a traditional mover has to incorporate into every quote.
The Benefits of Part-Loads
One of our most effective cost-saving strategies is our use of part-loads. For instance, instead of paying for a full shipping container going from the UK to Canada (which you might not need anyway), we can ‘batch together’ other consignments heading in the same direction.
This means you only pay for the space your items occupy, significantly reducing the cost of long-distance and international removals. However, it does mean that you will need to be flexible regarding the date or dates of your move.
And, on a similar theme, traditional companies often charge more because they have to factor in the cost of the truck returning empty after your move. The Moving Partnership can use its network to find backloads – matching a truck that has just finished a delivery in your area with your new move – eliminating "dead mileage" and passing those savings to you.
The Local Expertise
Rather than using a "one size fits all" approach, our coordinators select the most cost-effective origin and destination agents for your specific route. By using local partners at both ends of a move, we avoid the high costs of putting a UK crew in a hotel for several nights during an international relocation.
And because we usually partner with members of the British Association of Removers, or the FAIM (a FIDI-accredited international mover), you can be sure we will only use reputable companies with excellent track records of customer service.
Quality-Controlled Competition
The Moving Partnership puts your move out to a pre-vetted network of contacts in the international removals industry. This creates a competitive environment where firms must offer their best price to secure the contract through the Partnership’s platform; and, again, the fact that we use BAR and FAIM members ensures that you will get excellent service.

FAQs
Q: Do The Moving Partnership’s additional services help it to keep removal rates competitive?
A: Yes – because we offer online quotes and video surveys, we can also keep our costs low. We avoid the need to pay a specialist surveyor for an hour or more of their time, and we also don’t need to factor in their travel expenses either.
Q: Can an online quote be accurate for a large house move?
A: Yes. Our system uses sophisticated volume-mapping but you should be aware that it is based on the data you provide. However, for larger moves, we can follow up the initial consultation with a digital video walkthrough. This ensures we book the perfect-sized vehicle or container, preventing you from paying for empty space or the emergency cost of a second vehicle on moving day.
Q: Where are The Moving Partnership particularly competitive with their rates?
A: The more popular your destination is, the more likely The Moving Partnership can find a "part-load" match, and the lower your quote can be.
