From the North Sea oil fields to the world — Aberdeen's international energy workforce ships personal effects and relocates worldwide with us.
Aberdeen is Scotland's third city and one of the most internationally mobile in the UK — the global centre of the North Sea oil and gas industry, Aberdeen has an extraordinary concentration of international professionals from the USA, Norway, Australia, South Africa, India, Nigeria, and beyond who regularly relocate between Aberdeen and overseas postings. The city's international population generates consistent demand for personal effects shipping by air cargo and sea freight in both directions — professionals arriving with belongings, and departing with their household goods at the end of a posting.
We are not a general parcel courier — we specialise in personal effects and unaccompanied baggage shipping: suitcases, holdalls, boxes of household goods and personal items shipped overseas by air cargo or sea freight on behalf of an individual, family, or relocator from Aberdeen.
Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ) — well connected to international hubs including Heathrow, Amsterdam, and Oslo, the gateway for air cargo personal effects from the region.
International energy industry professionals and their families relocating to and from overseas postings; Nigerian, American, Norwegian, Australian, and South African communities; University of Aberdeen international students; professionals and families relocating internationally.
Aberdeen city centre, Westhill, Dyce, Portlethen, Banchory, and the wider Aberdeenshire area
Aberdeen handles more international professional relocations per capita than almost any other UK city — the North Sea oil and gas industry brings workers from Nigeria, USA, Norway, Australia, India, and across the world, many of whom ship personal effects and household goods when starting or finishing a posting.
The most popular personal effects and luggage shipping corridors from Aberdeen.
Two methods for personal effects shipping from Aberdeen — the right choice depends on your destination, volume, and timeline.
Faster transit — typically 4-10 working days to most destinations, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers. Best for smaller volumes, higher-value items, or urgent personal effects shipments. Most cost-effective for 1-5 bags or boxes.
More economical for larger volumes of household goods and personal effects. Shipped in a shared (LCL) or dedicated container. Transit takes several weeks but cost is significantly lower.
Westhill, Dyce, Aberdeen city centre — Aberdeen's North Sea oil industry brings professionals from Nigeria, the USA, Norway, Australia, South Africa, and India — many relocating for 2-3 year postings and needing personal effects shipped to and from Aberdeen.
