Shipping from Exeter to Australia — the local picture

Exeter is around 170 miles from our Hounslow base, in Devon. We collect from your Exeter door and bring everything to our warehouse beside Heathrow, where all Australia shipments are consolidated and flown out — so you handle none of the freight side yourself.

Once we collect, your shipment travels to our Heathrow warehouse, goes through our checking process, and is handed to the airline for departure on the next available service — typically a few working days from door to departure, subject to space and flight availability.

Exeter is a major university city too — if you are sending belongings to Australia from the University of Exeter at the end of term, book early, as term-end is one of our busiest windows.
