EwePack Shipping Services - Whole homes can be loaded direct at your current property in a sole-use container and shipped on the next departure to your new Portuguese home. We offer the Self-Load option as well as the EwePack Premium service.

Part homes can be shipped in the EwePack Share a Load service. Your options here include loose packed loads in removals vans or your own EwePack Lift-Van for maximum security of your goods. The Lift-Vans are basically a small wooden container you can pack yourself; these are then loaded with others in a shared articulated truck destined for the same area. These can be shipped to any destination.

Our EwePack Baggage shipping is available for smaller carton and bag-only shipments. These are loaded in the same shipping vehicles as the share A Load consignments, although we do also offer an Airfreight Express and Roadfreight options.
