When John, a chef, and Carol, an engineer, decided to return to Canada after years in the UK to retire, the prospect of moving their family from Bristol to Ontario felt overwhelming. Alongside their children, Sarah, Joe, and Amy, they had faced a difficult couple of years, losing a significant sum of money to scammers and grappling with the emotional and logistical challenges of an international relocation. Determined to begin their next chapter with less stress, they turned to GB Liners for a professional and reliable solution to navigate the complexities of an overseas move.
Luckily, our team from our Bristol branch were able to turn things around, providing a seamless moving service with our trademark high-quality service and attention to detail!
Supporting An International Move
To make John and Carol’s move as seamless as possible, GB Liners provided a comprehensive door-to-door service that covered every aspect of their relocation. This included full packing, export wrapping of furniture, and the careful shipping of their belongings. Recognising the unique demands of an overseas move, the team liaised with our international partners, who handled customs clearance, delivery, unpacking and unwrapping upon arrival in Canada, ensuring that the family could settle into their new home without added stress. From start to finish, every step was designed to provide peace of mind and minimise the logistical burdens associated with an international move.
The process required significant preparation and support, with our Bristol team making multiple visits to assist the family. John and Carol had dismantled several items themselves, but the project still demanded meticulous attention to detail. Of particular concern were their marble tabletops, which required the construction of three bespoke wooden crates to ensure safe transit.
Packing and loading spanned an intensive four days. Once the items were securely packed and wrapped, they were transported to GB Liners’ Bristol depot, where the shipping container was expertly loaded for its journey to Ontario with precision and care.
