If you are moving to one of the Baltic States it’s worth finding a removal company that is not only a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR) but also specialises in that region. Ideally, you’ll want a UK company that is au fait with the customs system in whichever country you’re moving to - Estonia, Lativa or Lithuania -  and if they use a partner to complete the moving in that country, they are established and reliable.

Typically, a removal company operating to the Baltics will collect your possessions from your home in the UK, whether you have a few cartons to send or are embarking on a small or large household move. They may deliver your goods as one single consignment in a lorry or they may offer to include your possessions as part of a weekly trailer service, which may have pick up points around the UK.

Check whether the firm you choose offers a full wrapping and packing service or not. If you decide to pack yourself, thereby saving money, be sure you are protecting your breakable possessions adequately.

Other things to look for when choosing your removal firm include:

- Do they offer same day / next day delivery.

- Do they offer driver assistance with loading and unloading.

- Does the driver of the vehicle transporting your goods accompany the vehicle from door to door.

- Is the delivery of your possessions direct, with NO handling of your goods at any stage during transportation.

- How flexible and reliable is the firm with your delivery requirements and arrival times.

There are no hidden charges and all fuel, ferry and toll charges are included in the price.
