Moving to Poland from UK is absolutely doable post‑Brexit with a clean, realistic plan. Choose the right transport mode (groupage vs dedicated vs express), prepare customs paperwork that matches your situation, plan access/parking at both ends, and pick insurance aligned to the true replacement value of your goods. Whether you’re moving back to Poland from UK, sending a compact shipment, or relocating a full family home, this guide turns complexity into a clear, conversion‑focused, step‑by‑step plan.
TL;DR (7–9 bullets for skimmers)
- Pick your mode: Groupage (part load) = best value and a delivery window; Dedicated = exact dates & minimal handling; Express = fastest for urgent handovers.
- Customs apply UK→PL: prepare a valued inventory, proof you’re moving, serials where relevant, and broker forms; separate new/unused purchases.
- Know the cost drivers: volume/weight, access, route/seasonality, service level, packing scope. Lock a fixed‑scope quote after a video survey.
- Pack smart: mix self‑pack + fragile‑only professional packing; pro‑pack TVs, glass, artwork to protect value (and cover).
- Plan access early: share photos, book permits/lifts, and expect timed loading or a shuttle van in old‑town areas (Warsaw/Kraków/Wrocław/Gdańsk).
- Choose cover wisely: CMR is included (weight‑based); many households add All‑Risk at declared replacement value door‑to‑door.
- Timeline reality: peak dates book 4–6 weeks ahead. Typical ETAs: Express 1–3 d, Dedicated 2–5 d, Groupage 5–10 d.
- “Polish man and van” vs pro mover: great for micro‑moves; for cross‑border compliance, documents, and insurance, a professional EU mover is safer.

Can I move to Poland from UK? (Post‑Brexit essentials)
Short answer: yes—thousands do every year. The difference post‑Brexit is customs compliance for UK→PL personal effects. Your immigration/residency status runs in parallel and shouldn’t stop the physical move as long as your household‑goods paperwork is clean. Below is a logistics‑first view of what changes by situation and how to prepare.
| Situation | What it means (logistics) | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| UK citizen (no EU passport) | Removals proceed with customs; immigration handled separately | Passport/ID; valued inventory; proof of move; broker POA; separate new goods |
| Dual citizen / PL passport holder | Similar logistics; some admin may be simpler | Standard inventory; CMR vs All‑Risk decision; permits at both ends |
| Shipping business tools/equipment | May require EORI and different declarations | Flag at survey; split paperwork |
| New/unused purchases in the load | Can trigger VAT/duty | Separate and list with invoices; HS codes if requested |
What counts as personal effects (examples): used household goods, clothes, books, children’s items, furniture, kitchenware, decor, used electronics (with serials noted).
Items that need extra care or may be restricted: aerosols/solvents/paints, gas canisters, perishable food, plants/soil, large loose lithium batteries, firearms/ammunition/replicas.
Quick compliance checklist (UK → Poland)
- Proof of relocation (tenancy/ownership/registration/employment in Poland).
- Valued inventory with realistic replacement values in Poland; box numbering.
- Serials for high‑value electronics, instruments, bikes (where applicable).
- Broker POA and forms completed; separate any new/unused purchases with invoices.
- Decide cover: CMR included (weight‑based) vs All‑Risk (declared value, door‑to‑door).
Who prepares what (logistics vs documents)
| Task / Document | You | VanOnSite | Broker | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Valued inventory & proof of relocation | ✅ Provide & sign | Template + guidance | Review if needed | T‑3–4 weeks |
| Access photos & building rules (UK/PL) | ✅ Provide | Plan permits/shuttle | — | T‑2–3 weeks |
| Broker POA & data (EORI if business) | ✅ Sign / supply IDs | Coordinate hand‑off | ✅ File entries | T‑2–3 weeks |
| Transport docs (CMR), routing & permits | — | ✅ Prepare & manage | — | T‑1–2 weeks |
| Insurance (CMR vs All‑Risk) | Choose coverage | ✅ Arrange certificate | — | T‑1 week |
Common pitfalls & fast fixes
- Mixing new purchases with used goods → separate & list with invoices.
- Missing serials for TVs/bikes/instruments → add to the inventory before loading.
- Packing restricted items (aerosols/paints) → remove or declare for safe handling.
- No proof of move → secure tenancy/registration/employment letters early.
- Under‑estimating box counts → share accurate numbers/photos during the video survey.

Service options — Groupage vs Dedicated vs Express
Short lead: Pick between value, certainty, or speed. The right choice depends on volume, date pressure, fragility, and access at both ends.
| Option | Best for | Typical UK→PL ETA | Handling | Date control | Pros | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groupage (part load) | Small moves (6–12 m³); budget‑first | ~5–10 days | Consolidated | Delivery window | Lowest per‑m³ cost; greener | Limited time‑of‑day control |
| Dedicated vehicle | Families; fixed keys/leases; larger volumes | ~2–5 days | Direct load→deliver | Exact date | Minimal handling; predictable | Premium vs groupage |
| Express (two‑driver) | Urgent handovers; high‑value/fragile sets | ~1–3 days | Direct + relay | Exact & tight | Shortest transit; maximum control | Highest premium; availability |
At‑a‑glance thresholds
- If your volume ≤ 12 m³ and dates are flexible → Groupage usually wins on value.
- If you have fixed key handover or need a specific AM/PM slot → Dedicated.
- If you must land within 24–72 hours or carrying museum‑grade/auction pieces → Express + fragile‑only packing.
When each option shines
- Groupage: students, box‑only or furniture‑only sets; flexible move‑in windows; greener choice.
- Dedicated: families with children/pets; lease/key deadlines; minimal handling for premium sets.
- Express: time‑critical moves, high‑value electronics/art, or when you need day‑certain, tight‑window delivery.
Mini‑scenarios
- 8 m³ boxes + a desk, London → Warsaw in 2–3 weeks → Groupage (best value).
- 3‑bed home, keys Friday 12:00, Manchester → Kraków → Dedicated (date‑exact).
- 6 m³, two OLED TVs + antiques, Bristol → Gdańsk within 72h → Express + fragile‑only pack.
- Old‑town access at destination → add shuttle or smaller vehicle regardless of mode.
Service add‑ons that change the call
- Shuttle vehicle for tight streets/old towns; lift bookings/permits in UK/PL cities.
- Packing scope: mix self‑pack + fragile‑only to balance safety and budget.
- Storage/staging: useful when handover dates don’t align.
Pro tip: lock the mode after a quick video survey—accurate volume and access notes often save more than any guesswork.
Costs & budgeting — what moves the number (and how to save)
Short lead: Transparent, scope‑based pricing you can influence before moving day.
| Cost driver | Why it matters | How to reduce |
|---|---|---|
| Volume/weight | Vehicle space & crew time | Declutter; accurate survey; box counts |
| Service level | Groupage vs dedicated changes speed/handling | Choose groupage if dates are flexible |
| Access | Stairs/long carries/narrow streets add labour | Reserve parking/lifts; share access photos |
| Packing scope | Pro pack vs self‑pack | Mix self‑pack + fragile‑only |
| Route & seasonality | Ferries/tolls/peaks influence price | Mid‑week slots; date flexibility |
| Special items | Pianos, glass/marble, large TVs add protection | Flag early; custom crates only where needed |
| Shuttle/permits | City rules, bay suspensions, old‑town access | Book early; share postcodes & building rules |
| Storage/staging | Extra handling/time if dates don’t align | Align handover; use short‑term staging only |
Optional line items & impact
| Item | When it appears | Budget effect (directional) |
|---|---|---|
| Lift/hoist bookings | High floors; no wide stairs | ↑ |
| Parking suspensions/TMOs | Busy streets; controlled zones | ↑ |
| Extra packing materials | Wardrobe/TV/artwork kits | ↑ (modest) |
| Debris removal/unpacking | Convenience at destination | ↑ (optional) |
How to save 10–20% without stress
- Freeze scope early. Share an accurate inventory/volume and access photos.
- Stay flexible on delivery. A window (groupage) is cheaper than a fixed AM slot.
- Self‑pack low‑risk items; let pros handle TVs, glass, artwork.
- Reserve parking/lifts in advance—crew idle time is paid time.
- Avoid last‑minute purchases in the load; new items complicate customs and can add cost.
Quick self‑audit before you request a quote
- Do you know your approx. volume (m³) and number of boxes?
- Any tight access (basements, mezzanines, old towns)?
- Do dates allow a delivery window or do you need exact timing?
- Which items need pro packing (TVs, glass, artwork)?
- Will you need storage at either end?
What we include in a fixed‑scope quote
- Confirmed mode (Groupage/Dedicated/Express), volume, inclusions/exclusions.
- Access plan (permits, shuttle, lifts) for both addresses.
- Packing scope and materials list; insurance option (CMR vs All‑Risk).
- Clear milestones and ETA style (window vs exact slot).

Documents & customs — UK→PL personal effects
Short lead: Clean, consistent paperwork keeps your shipment moving through terminals and into Poland without surprises. Below is a practical, copy‑pasteable toolkit: what to prepare, how to value items, and what to separate as new/unused.
Your customs pack at a glance
- Passport/ID and UK address history; proof you’re moving to Poland (tenancy/ownership/registration/employment letter).
- Valued inventory (room‑by‑room; replacement value in Poland). Include serials for high‑value electronics, bikes, instruments.
- Broker forms & POA; separate new/unused purchases (with invoices). Business shippers may also need EORI.
- Transport docs (CMR); insurance choice (CMR vs All‑Risk). Keep policy/email confirmations handy.
- Restricted items check (no aerosols/solvents/gas canisters; no perishable food; no soil/plants; etc.).
Simple inventory template (copy/paste)
| Box ID | Room | Item description | Condition | Serial/Model | Qty | Value (PLN) | Notes / NEW? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KITCH‑01 | Kitchen | Plates + bowls set | Used | — | 1 | 280 | — |
| LOUNGE‑02 | Living | 55″ OLED TV | Used | SN: ZX55‑A1 | 1 | 4,200 | Serials photo |
| BED‑01 | Bedroom | Double duvet + pillows | Used | — | 1 | 220 | — |
| SPORT‑01 | Garage | Road bike | Used | SN: RB‑8842 | 1 | 3,600 | — |
Valuation tips
- Use replacement value in Poland, not original purchase price.
- Group low‑value items by set (e.g., kitchenware) but list fragile/high‑value items separately.
- Add photos for high‑value electronics, instruments, bikes; keep receipts if available.
Separate NEW/unused & keep invoices (examples)
- Small appliances bought last week, boxed cookware, brand‑new clothing with tags.
- Recently purchased smartphones/laptops still sealed.
- New furniture ordered for the move (list as NEW with invoice).
Mixing new items with used household goods can trigger VAT/duty. Keep them listed separately with proofs.
Restricted & unsuitable items (quick guide)
| Category | Examples | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Aerosols/flammables | Paints, solvents, spray cans, gas canisters | Exclude from load; dispose per local guidance |
| Perishables & plants | Fresh food, soil, live plants | Exclude; clean equipment to remove soil/organic residue |
| Hazardous batteries | Loose lithium cells/power banks | Declare separately or exclude; transport under specific rules |
| Weapons/replicas | Firearms, ammo, realistic replicas | Do not include; subject to separate legal processes |
Paperwork timeline (typical)
- 3–4 weeks out: gather ID, tenancy/ownership/registration, start your inventory; decide Groupage vs Dedicated.
- 2–3 weeks: complete broker forms & POA; separate and list NEW items with invoices; share access photos.
- 7–10 days: finalise valued inventory (add serials/photos); confirm CMR vs All‑Risk cover.
- 3–5 days: we align with the broker on pre‑clear vs at‑border process; issue draft CMR details.
- Move week: print document pack; keep digital copies on phone; have IDs available on loading day.
Owner‑packed vs pro‑packed (insurance notes)
- CMR is weight‑based carrier liability during road transport (included).
- All‑Risk covers your declared replacement value door‑to‑door; some fragile items may require pro packing for full cover.
- Keep an exceptions list (existing damage) with photos before loading.

Packing & protection — furniture and fragile items
Good packing protects your budget as much as your belongings. Use the right materials, pack to insurance standards, and label so delivery is fast and damage‑free.
Service levels (choose what fits)
| Level | What’s included | Best for | Insurance note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self‑pack | You pack boxes; materials available | Budget moves; books, clothing | Owner‑packed terms may differ |
| Fragile‑only | Pros pack TVs, glass, mirrors, artwork | Balanced protection & savings | Broad cover for high‑risk items |
| Full pack | Pros pack everything; dismantle/reassemble | Full homes; time‑poor; high‑value sets | Simplest claims & best protection |
Materials checklist (by room)
| Room/Area | Must‑have materials | Skip/avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Double‑wall boxes, plate/divider kits, glass sleeves | Overloading large boxes with crockery |
| Living | TV sleeve + foam corners, picture packs, bubble wrap | Packing TVs loose or face‑down |
| Bedroom | Wardrobe boxes, mattress bags, small boxes for books | Mixing heavy books into large boxes |
| Bathroom | Zip bags for liquids, tape‑sealed lids, towels as pads | Unsealed bottles; aerosols/solvents |
| Garage | Bike fork spacers, tool rolls, sturdy small cartons | Loose lithium batteries/power banks |
Room‑by‑room how‑to (quick wins)
- TVs/Monitors: original box preferred; otherwise TV sleeve + foam corners; remove bases; cables in a labelled pouch.
- Glass & Mirrors: picture packs; mark FRAGILE and THIS SIDE UP; add corner protectors.
- Artwork: wrap with acid‑free paper, then bubble, then picture pack; keep climate‑sensitive pieces upright.
- Furniture: dismantle large wardrobes/beds; bag and tape fixings to the item; protect edges with card.
- Appliances: defrost fridges/freezers 24h prior; drain hoses; fit washer transport bolts; tape doors.
- Mattresses/sofas: bag to protect from dust/moisture; avoid folding unless designed to fold.
Label smart (fast delivery at destination)
- Number every box (e.g., KITCHEN‑01), and mark the destination room in English + Polish (Bedroom / Sypialnia).
- Add FRAGILE / HEAVY tags where relevant.
- Keep a clearly marked First‑Night Box (kettle, mugs, bedding, basic tools, phone chargers).
- Optional: a QR/short code linking to your inventory row for high‑value boxes.
What we bring on “Fragile‑only” or “Full pack”
- Export‑grade wraps, corner boards, picture/TV kits, wardrobe boxes, mattress bags.
- Floor/edge protection at load and delivery, and itemised load sheets with photos for peace of mind.
Not sure which level fits? We can mix self‑pack for low‑risk with pro‑pack for fragile/high‑value to balance safety and cost.
Access & permits — UK & Polish cities
City centres and historic areas may require permits, timed loading, shuttle vans, or even lift bookings. Planning these early keeps crews efficient and your neighbours happy.
Typical constraints & our playbook
| City/Area | Common constraint | Permit lead time* | Our solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| London/UK cities | Resident zones; bay suspensions; red routes | 5–10 working days | Apply early; align collection slots; arrange TMOs if needed |
| Warsaw | Controlled loading zones; paid bays | 2–5 working days | Timed windows; pre‑book bays; smaller vehicle if needed |
| Kraków | Historic centre; size/time restrictions | 3–7 working days | Shuttle to final door; spotters; early‑morning slots |
| Wrocław/Gdańsk | Bridges/one‑ways; seasonal events | 2–5 working days | Micro‑routing; lift bookings; reserve alternative bays |
| Poznań/Łódź | Narrow streets; limited curb space | 2–5 working days | Advance bay reservations; smaller vehicle + carry plans |
| Katowice/Silesia | Construction zones; one‑way systems | 2–5 working days | Route surveys; flexible arrival windows |
Lead times vary by borough/city and season; book early when possible.
When a shuttle van makes sense
- Old‑town streets where larger vehicles are restricted.
- Long carries from legal parking to your door.
- Underground parking with height limits.
What we organise (so you don’t have to)
- Parking suspensions/bay reservations and any required traffic management orders.
- Lift bookings and building management notifications at both ends.
- Access‑route photos and micro‑routing for tight turns or low archways.
- Alternative bays/time slots ready if events or roadworks pop up.
How you can speed things up
- Send front‑of‑building photos, street name signs, and any permit zone codes.
- Confirm floor number, lift size, and any restrictions (concierge hours, quiet times).
- Share postcodes and exact what3words spots if helpful.
- Tell us about stairs, courtyards, or gated access ahead of time.
Result: legal, close‑to‑door loading, minimal carrying time, and fewer surprises on the day.

Polish man and van vs professional EU mover — which fits?
Short lead: Local polish man and van services are great for micro‑moves. Cross‑border household moves benefit from scope, paperwork and insurance handled end‑to‑end. Use the comparison below to decide fast.
| Decision Area | Man & van (local) | VanOnSite (professional EU mover) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope & pricing | Hourly; variable scope | Fixed‑scope quote; clear inclusions/exclusions |
| Customs & documents | Mostly DIY | Broker coordination; templates; clean document packs |
| Insurance | Basic/unclear | CMR included; All‑Risk optional at declared value |
| Dates & control | Best‑effort | Groupage window or Dedicated/Express exact dates |
| Access & permits | Rarely arranged | Permits, lifts, shuttle planned in advance |
| Fragile/heavy items | Limited handling | Export‑grade packing; specialist handling if required |
| Tracking/updates | Ad‑hoc updates | Milestone comms; ETA windows; photo confirmation |
| Vehicle suitability | Small/medium vans | Fleet from small vans to 7.5t; shuttle options for old towns |
| Coverage & backup | Single driver/team | Network coverage, contingency vehicles & crews |
| Language & paperwork | Varies | Bilingual PL/EN coordination; clear documents |
Choose a local man & van if… you’re moving a micro‑load within a city or short cross‑border hop, dates are very flexible, and you’re comfortable handling paperwork, packing and permits yourself.
Choose VanOnSite if… you want predictable dates/costs, export‑grade protection, customs handled, and a single coordinator from survey to aftercare.
Worked scenario (directional):
- 8 m³, box‑only, flexible delivery window → man & van can work if you’re DIY on packing/paperwork; Groupage with VanOnSite is often similar on price but adds customs pack, tracked updates and insurance options.
- 20–30 m³ family move with fixed keys → professional Dedicated service gives date certainty, minimal handling and access planning that DIY rarely covers.
Compare options for your addresses and dates → Removals to Poland.
