In April 2025 four of our team packed two large routers for export, stripped to bare chassis. Export packing services for IT and AV equipment mostly come down to choosing the right case: certified, treated timber crates, shock mount flight cases or made-to-measure crates. We pack on site or in our Fleet warehouse in Church Crookham, Hampshire.
Some kit goes in a flight case we already own. Some needs a crate built round it. We'll tell you which on the first call, and we can pack where it stands or bring it back to Fleet.
Racks go in 24U 19" shock mount flight case racks, or in roto shock mount cases from 6U to 14U. Our split trunk flight cases come apart, so a chassis up to 24U slides straight from the lift into the base and the case is built back round it.
Anti-static cases with comb dividers and lift-out trays hold the smaller kit. Peli Storm cases take the delicate bits, and folding pallet crates are for the big flat loads.
For heavier or odder loads we build crates in certified and treated timber, which means ISPM 15, the international standard for timber packaging. Foam or polystyrene inserts, anti-static bubble bags and ShockWatch, ShockDot and TiltWatch labels go in as the load needs them.
We're ISO 9001:2015 certified and members of the Road Haulage Association. Cover is arranged for each job to the value of your equipment, up to £0.5m without referral.
Public liability is no less than £2 million. See accreditations.
Customs wants the same details on every export invoice, and most delays come from a missing one. This checklist lists them. PDF, no form.
The Commercial Invoice Data Checklist lists the information a commercial invoice needs before equipment crosses a border, so that customs can identify the goods, their value and the reason they are moving without stopping the vehicle to ask.
It's packing goods so they survive the trip abroad and satisfy customs and the carrier. For our clients that usually means flight cases, treated timber crates, inserts and labels, packed on site or at our warehouse.
Packing that meets the rules for sending goods abroad. For timber, that's ISPM 15, the international standard for wood packaging. Our crates are made in certified and treated timber.
A list of what's in each case or crate, with weights and sizes. Customs and the carrier use it alongside the commercial invoice. Our commercial invoice data checklist covers the details.
Yes. We pack where the kit stands, or bring it back to our warehouse in Fleet, whichever is easier. Tell us the access and we'll plan around it.
Often, but batteries have their own shipping rules, and they differ by air, sea and road. Tell us what's in the kit when you ask for a quote and we'll tell you how to proceed.
There isn't a standard price. It depends on what's being packed, how many cases or crates, whether we build or use cases we already have, and where the work happens. Send us the list and we'll quote.
Yes. We have our own customs agent, and we arrange air and sea freight through partners. See customs and export.
Tell us what's being packed, where it's going and when, and we'll come back with questions or a quote.
We work from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire. Packing on your site anywhere in the UK runs from there, with our own crews.
We have your details. Someone from the team will read it and come back to you by phone or email.
