Export

Packing :
Brytons only use specially designed and approved packing materials providing maximum protection for each item. All china, glass and books etc., are separately packed in specially designed, reinforced export modular cartons. These modular units are designed to make the best use of space in the container into which your effects will be packed.

If you are taking a full household, we will usually pack your effects into the container at your residence.

If you are taking less than a full container load, we can consolidate your effects on a "shared" basis that means you only pay for the amount of container space you use.

If you are moving to one of the more unusual areas of the world, not served by container vessels, we make a special timber liftvan to the exact size of your consignment, and then we ship it through International Consolidators.

Storage :
Should storage be required in the Brytons Warehouse, your belongings will be loaded into our specially designed storage pallets to minimise handling. Brytons' customised warehouse is fumigated on a regular basis for pest control and is equipped with modern sprinkler and security systems to meet international standards. All valuable items are stored in a separate, high security room which has restricted access.
