Household moving and shipping coordination
Moving belongings is one part of getting a household settled. Gullie coordinates the agreed household moving and shipping work alongside housing and arrival planning. The service connects what is being moved, when it is needed, and where it can actually be delivered.
Discuss your relocationDecide what needs to move
Begin with an inventory and the destination home’s likely furnishing. Shipping everything before understanding the accommodation can leave you paying to move items that do not fit or are not needed.
Separate belongings needed immediately from those that can arrive later. Work documents, essential clothing, medication, and other personal necessities should have an arrival arrangement that does not depend on the main household shipment. Confirm any item-specific requirements with the appropriate provider.
- Origin address, destination, and household inventory
- Furniture dimensions and furnishing at the destination
- Collection access, delivery access, and storage needs
- Which items need to be available from the first day
Connect collection, storage, and delivery
The employee’s flight date, the old home’s handover, and the new property’s availability may not align. The move brief should show where belongings will be at each stage and whether storage is needed.
Before agreeing a delivery date, confirm the destination building’s arrangements. Loading space, lift reservations, stairs, entrance dimensions, and the person receiving the shipment can affect the provider’s work.
For an international shipment, the provider must confirm the relevant route, documents, item restrictions, and clearance process for the actual circumstances. Gullie coordinates the agreed work within the move; those requirements should not be assumed from a generic packing list.
Make quotes comparable
Ask what each provider’s quote includes: packing, collection, transport, storage, delivery, unpacking, and any exclusions or coverage options. Compare the same inventory and access assumptions rather than only the total price.
Keep the coordination service separate from the mover’s and other providers’ charges. Gullie can discuss the agreed scope and help connect the schedule with the wider relocation. A planning estimate is useful preparation, but confirmed commitments need current quotes and actual availability.

Common questions
Can belongings arrive after the employee?
They can be planned separately. Identify what the household needs immediately and whether temporary furnished accommodation or storage is required. Confirm the provider schedule for the actual route.
Can I include furniture and a vehicle in the move brief?
Describe all items and any vehicle needs when agreeing the scope. The team can discuss the relevant providers, availability, and route-specific requirements; do not assume they share one schedule or quote.
Can Gullie provide an instant guaranteed shipping price?
The cost estimator provides a planning estimate. The actual price depends on the inventory, route, access, storage, provider scope, and current availability, which need a confirmed quote.
