Very good and efficient service. Picked up in USA was very smooth, items packed very carefully; delivery and clearing Thai Custom was very smooth also. Didn't have to make a trip to Laem Chabang as I was expected to. Everything was delivered to my house without anything being damaged. Definitely would recommend to anyone making an international move!

Who are we and what do we offer?

How can I get in touch with you?

You can reach out to us via our website. You can reach us by phone at : +33 1 8665 4347   if you want to chat with one of our skilled moving consultants (Mon-Fri 08:00 - 19:00, Sat 09:00 - 17:00). Finally, please do not hesitate to contact us by email at info@docshipper.com . All you have to do now is fill out our online form with the details of your move. Within minutes, you'll receive your free moving offer !

Is DocShipper a serious business?

Our teams are ready to assist you whether you're moving locally or internationally, a modest volume or an entire container. And who better to assist you in this process than a Made in France team? Yes, DocShipper is, in fact, French, as evidenced by our DNA ! 

How does a move go?

DocShipper is a full-service moving company. This is how we handle your project, from locating a local mover to scheduling the move.
Once we have all of the details about your move, we will provide you with a free quote and assign you to a professional firm that will work on your assignment. In addition to your basic service, we may provide you with a variety of additional services, such as reserving a parking spot in front of your house or delivering packages to your home.
Is there a specific request or a specific concern? Please do not hesitate to tell us ! Your personal advisor will undoubtedly come up with a solution!

Why should you compare moving companies?

Matter how much money you have to move, you should not hire the first professional mover you come across without first comparing others. The majority of the time, considerable price discrepancies can be seen. You may find the best value for money by taking the time to compare expert movers.
DocShipper will shop around for you and conduct quality checks with its partners on a regular basis.
We've been doing removals in partnership with our expert partner movers for the past 5 years, making it a simple process for you! We will offer you with the best service whether you are moving within the same city or to a new location! DocShipper is a market leader thanks to a large number of delighted clients and an innovative approach to relocating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does DocShipper provide door to door moving services?

Without a doubt! It is, in addition to our expertise, a one-of-a-kind support from start to finish. You don't have to do anything because we handle everything: packaging, storage, transportation (domestic or international), customs clearance... This method, of course, adjusts to your demands, so it's up to you (with the help of your consultant) to create the best offer for your project.

What are the costs of customs duties and taxes?

This is a difficult topic to answer because it is dependent on a number of circumstances. Diplomats, nationals returning to countries, and expatriates with a local work permit, for example, are exempt from taxes since specific statutes are normally exempt from taxes. Some things, on the other hand, can be substantially taxed; for example, a car can be taxed at more than 200 percent or even 300 percent of its worth! It's also worth noting that some items are restricted. Our consultant will go over your inventory with you to make sure everything is in working order before you leave, putting quality first!

Is it possible for me to pack my belongings myself ?

It's a service that not many movers provide, but it's one that you value at DocShipper! What is the reason for this? Simply because it is an alternative that allows you to have a moving solution at the most affordable price (yes, yes!). Packing services are likely to be one of the more costly aspects of the moving process. So join involved and save up to 50% on your relocation!

What are the payment options and how do I pay ?

All moving fees must be paid before your shipment is unloaded at its final destination, according to tariff requirements. In terms of payment methods, we're breaking new ground! You can pay in a variety of ways with us: Bank transfer (in major currencies: Euro, USD, THB, HKD, GBP...), PayPal, Credit card, Bitcoin... It's up to you to decide which option is best for you !

Is there an optimum time to relocate ?

There is no such thing as a good or terrible time because it will largely depend on you, your project, and your overall schedule. In any case, keep in mind that summer (June through September) is prime moving season. Many people migrate over the summer break and the school year. It's vital to remember that the summer is a time when team availability is slightly decreased, but it's still feasible...

We plant trees whenever you move

Trees help to purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and offer habitat for more than 80% of the biodiversity on our world.

Onetreeplanted.org, 2021

DocShipper supports OneTreePlanted's mission to regenerate Europe's forests and so create a healthier future for us with every booking.


Every month, DocShipper plants about 5,000 trees.
This equates to approximately 250 tonnes of CO2 each year.

3 trees for London to York
12 trees for Brighton to Dublin

For example, every 80 kilometers, a tree is planted.

    DocShipper Tips : The packaging of your goods is a crucial step of your relocation. Indeed, it will warrant the security of your goods during the entire logistics process. Find out further details here: Packing services

  • Step 2 - Delivery to the (air)port

    Delivery to the terminal of loading

    Once your goods are packed (and palletized if required), they will be transported to the nearest terminal (port or airport). Then, we will follow with the customs declaration to prepare the export.

    DocShipper Tips : We know your personal belongings are precious so we can even pack them into a wooden crate to maximize the security. It is not enough? You can even ask our team to supply shock-absorbing rubber border strip to make sure everything will be safe !

  • Step 3 - International Freight

    Sea, Air or Road Cargo

    This step will have a significant impact on your move. Indeed, depending on the method you chose, it will influence several point of your move: obviously the delay but also the security as well as the price. Our expert will analyze your requirements and fix the proper solution.
    DocShipper Tips : Your DocShipper advisor will suggest you different options in order to determine what fit your needs. For further details about freight methods, please feel free to reach our consultants or have a look on our dedicated page: Sea freight, Air freight et Trucking.

  • Step 4 - Customs clearance

    Our customs broker will get in touch with the local authority to declare your shipment and release goods. Once it is done, your personal will be delivered to your new home (unless you need to store them).

    DocShipper Tips : Your moving advisor will verify every document and check them with our customs broker to make sure nothing will block during the customs clearance process. It is crucial to prepare for every specific requirement to dodge friction on the D-Day. Further info about this step here: Customs clearance

  • Step 5 - Final delivery to your home

    Delivery, unloading and unpacking

Moving services

We will suggest you on the most reasonable freight methods after we analyze your needs: delay, budget, volume... As we all know "All roads lead to Rome", it is the same for the logistics industry! We might have various options for your relocation: it is about the method but also about the route we will select. We will propose you several way then you just have to choose the ideal offer.

Let's have a look on the choice we have:

Sea freight

Shipping by boat is the most used choice in international relocation:

  • Low-cost for high volumes (Full Container).
  • Link to all international ports of the world

sea-freight-moving-docshipper

Full Container Load (FCL)

If you opt for an FCL solution, the container will be fully booked for your personal effects.

  • Customs clearance is smoother since there is only one packing list.
  • You can (un)load the container directly next to your home.
  • Less manpower interaction (contrary to LCL) so this option is safer.

Container Groupage (LCL)

LCL (Less than Container Load) or groupage is perfect when you have a small volume.

  • Your personal effects are packed into a labeled wooden crate and/or pallet before we load them into a container.
  • LCL has a similar transit time to the full container (FCL), however the clearance step will be a bit longer with on average one to two extra days.

Air freight

air-freight-moving-docshipper

Air freight is perfect for urgent and small volume shipments:

  • The Fastest transit time.
  • Can be combined with maritime transport.

Trucking

Trucking-moving-docshipper

Road transport is a must because:

  • The pickup and final delivery is done by truck only.
  • For short distance moves, it will be the cheapest method.

Additional moving services

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a good and a bad period to move?

The high seasons for moving are directly (not surprisingly) indexed to the school vacation periods and particularly during the summer. Indeed, the season from May 15 to September 15 is particularly busy. This does not mean that you cannot move during this period, it will only be necessary to anticipate it a little in advance to make sure you have a space available for your relocation.

How to get a moving quote?

It's not very complicated, it's even very simple: just fill out our online form! The information will then go directly into our system and be handled by one of our moving consultants (generally within 24 hours). You have questions? You can also reach us via our online chat, WhatsApp, phone or email. With us, the customer is king!

Is it necessary to be present during the move?

This is not a requirement, but we recommend it. You will be able to give particular instructions to our staff, for example to pack such and such goods together, to have particular care on a specific goods ... In any case, we will produce a packing list to inventory all the items that we have packed and thus organize the boxes by category: by rooms, by type of goods ...

What is the best method of transportation for my move?

The method of transport will be influenced by several factors: volume, weight, distance between terminals and point of departure / arrival ... Anyway, there are 2 points to mainly consider. As you can guess, air freight will be much faster than ocean freight (less than a week versus 40 days to cross the world). On the other hand, sea freight is much more competitive when it comes to large volume (greater than 2 cubic meters). Conversely, for low volumes, the aircraft is both faster and cheaper!
