Leo's Robust International Packers and Movers Process

Survey

We send our survey officer to assess your belongings, give you a personalized Overseas Relocation Cost and help you understand how to proceed. Carrying references from over 2,50,000 clients, the officer would then note important details and schedule a pickup date.

Packing & Documentation

A highly skilled team is dispatched to your location to pack your belongings. We adhere to the highest International Relocation Packing standards to ensure the safety of your belongings. We also have in-house carpenters to assemble or dismantle any furniture if needed.

Local Transportation

We own a fleet of customized vehicles that relocate your belongings from your location to the port or warehouse safely, and on time.

Custom Clearance At Origin

We believe in simplifying international relocation by personally attending each checkpoint. We ensure that goods are not tampered when the custom clearance office checks the articles to be docked.

Sea/Air Freight

Air & Sea are our two modes of transport for international relocation and freight is determined by either container size or volume. We recommend the most reasonable pricing system for your belongings and check the weight, volume and minimize the size of packaging to give you the best price.

Custom Clearance At Destination

Thorough documentation at the port of origin ensures ease in custom clearance at the destination. We give you a list of articles that are acceptable to carry. This ensures that no articles are disallowed at your destination. We send you regular updates during the relocation process.

Door Delivery and Unpacking

We take complete responsibility for a hassle-free worldwide Relocation Service that we have promised to deliver to you from the very beginning. We are affiliated certified companies across the globe that collect your consignment from the dock and deliver at your doorstep.
The goods are then unpacked and organized at your new location. We leave you only with your belongings, but not the packaging materials, which reduces your burden of disposal.
