Full load vs part load

The model you choose shapes the cost and the clock.

Full load gives you the vehicle end to end. It is direct and fast. Perfect for family homes, art collections or time critical office moves.
Part load shares vehicle space with compatible consignments heading the same way. It lowers cost, trims carbon and suits flexible schedules. It is ideal for students, second homes, or compact city apartments.

OptionBest forProsConsiderations
Full loadFamily homes, tight timelines, lots of fragile piecesDirect route and fastest delivery, exclusive useHigher price than shared transport
Part loadSmaller consignments, budget careful plans, greener choicesLower cost, eco friendly, flexible windowsDelivery day depends on consolidation plan

Tip: Add both options to your quote and compare delivery windows before you confirm.

Furniture removals to Andorra

Your furniture is the backbone of home life. It deserves protection from the first wrap to the final placement.

How we shield every piece

  • Pre wrap, quilted covers and edge guards for delicate surfaces.
  • Disassembly and reassembly for beds, wardrobes and tables.
  • Custom crates and export wrap for art, glass and marble.
  • Floor, door and stair protection at both ends.
  • Hoist options for tight stairwells or upper floor drops when access is narrow.
  • White Glove two person placement with exact positioning for statement items.

Vehicle sizes and what they fit

Right sizing the truck protects budgets and belongings. We confirm volume during a video survey and check access at both addresses.

Moving Premium151000Two bed homes and heavier items
Moving Premium Plus303500Three bed family homes and mixed loads

Routes to Andorra and seasonal advice

Two gateways lead to the valleys: Pas de la Casa on the French side and La Farga de Moles on the Spanish side. Your coordinator will suggest the smoother corridor after checking weather, gradients and town access.

Popular corridors

  • UK to Dover to Calais to Toulouse to Andorra via the French border.
  • UK to Portsmouth to Bilbao or Santander to Lleida to Andorra via the Spanish border.

Choosing wisely

  • Winter often favours the Spanish approach for steadier mountain conditions.
  • In fair weather, the French corridor can be shorter from channel ports.
  • For fragile or tall freight, fewer transfers and gentler gradients matter more than mileage.
  • Chains can be required during cold snaps. Tell us about steep streets or access restrictions so we can right size the vehicle and plan parking.

Documents and customs

Andorra sits outside the EU and outside Schengen. You will enter through France or Spain, then clear Andorra Customs at the border. For personal effects, prepare the following.

Official sources

Good to know

  • Used household goods are often treated differently from brand new items. Keep receipts for anything new to show provenance and value.
  • Some categories need declaration or have limits, such as alcohol, tobacco or high value electronics. Check the customs portal before packing.
  • Border officers may open boxes for inspection. Label clearly and keep the inventory consistent with what is inside.

Pricing, part load savings and how to budget

International pricing is shaped by volume, route, season, access and packing level. Use the table below as a guide. Your quote will be exact after the survey and access checks.

Ways to save without risk

  • Declutter before the survey so we quote the right volume.
  • Reserve lifts or parking bays early to avoid waiting charges.
  • Flex your delivery window where possible, especially for part loads.
  • Use professional packing for rooms that truly need it and self pack the rest.
  • Share access videos so we avoid tight spots and extra shuttling.

Packing that protects

The right packing turns a long journey into a non event. We use export grade cartons, wardrobe boxes, custom crating, edge guards and shock absorbing wraps. Your crew protects floors and railings before any lifting starts.

Options you can mix and match

  • Full Packing Service when you want zero hassle: Packing Service.
  • White Glove Delivery for art, antiques and high value furniture: White Glove.
  • Self pack kits delivered ahead of time.

Pro tips

  • Build a first night box with bedding, chargers, toiletries, a kettle and key documents.
  • Photograph cable setups and shelves before disassembly.
  • Label by room and priority so the crew can place boxes exactly where they belong.

Storage between phases

Keys delayed. Renovation running. Downsizing in stages. We provide clean, secure storage with flexible billing and climate suitable spaces. Combine storage with staged deliveries so your new space stays tidy while you settle in.

FAQs

How long does delivery take
Most road moves from southern UK deliver in 2 to 4 days depending on route, weather and access. For part loads, expect a delivery window based on consolidations.

Where do I clear customs
At the Andorran frontier after entering from France or Spain. See the official portal for forms and allowances: https://www.govern.ad/ca/tematiques/impostos-taxes-i-duana/duana.

Can I use part load for furniture removals to Andorra
Yes. Part load suits students and smaller homes that want lower costs and can be flexible on the exact delivery day.

What insurance options do you offer
We offer transit cover tiers. Your coordinator will match value declarations with the right policy level so coverage is crystal clear.

Can you move pets and vehicles
Pets follow UK rules: https://www.gov.uk/taking-your-pet-abroad. Vehicles leaving the UK for 12 months or more may require DVLA export steps: https://www.gov.uk/taking-vehicles-out-of-uk.

Do you offer storage during the move
