Student Shipping to Saint Lucia

Client:

Jasmine R.

From:

UK

To:

Saint Lucia

What was shipped:

Personal belongings from student halls in Manchester to family home in Saint Lucia.

Main challenge:

Avoiding airline excess baggage fees and figuring out paperwork without experience.

How we helped:

Jayne arranged collection from halls, handled documentation guidance step by step, and booked the most cost‑effective route.

"Honestly, I was so stressed about getting my stuff home without paying crazy baggage fees. I had no clue about shipping paperwork or anything. Jayne from Transpakship walked me through everything step by step — even had my stuff picked up from my halls! My mum was shocked when everything arrived so quickly. Already told my flatmates about them for next summer."

Furniture Seller Shipping to Ghana

Client:

Kwa Alonso

From:

UK

To:

Ghana

What was shipped:

Made‑to‑order furniture shipped to Accra for retail clients.

Main challenge:

Previous damage and poor communication from other freight companies.

How we helped:

Provided proactive communication, answered calls, shared loading photos, and kept schedules reliable.

"After two disasters with other freight companies — one damaged a dining set, another went radio silent for weeks — I wasn’t going to bother with the Ghana market. A mate gave me the recommendation; he’d used Transpakship to ship cars to Kingston. What a difference. Night and day! They answer the phone, send photos when loading, and my clients finally trust me to deliver on time. Worth every penny."

School Twinning Project to Barbados

Client:

Ms. Flack

Organisation:

S. Anselm’s Preparatory School

To:

Barbados

What was shipped:

Class‑made kites and art supplies.

Main challenge:

Ensuring delicate classroom projects arrived intact.

How we helped:

Careful packing, tracking, and coordination with the school.

“You should have seen the kids’ faces when we warned them their kites might get damaged — it’s a long way. We needn’t have worried: every kite arrived perfectly. They were covered in glitter and may not have flown very high, but I’m told the Barbadian children loved them. We’d do it again in a heartbeat — our pupils are still talking about it months later!”

Retiring Couple Moving to St Kitts & Nevis

Client:

Mr & Mrs Newson

From:

UK

To:

St Kitts & Nevis

What was shipped:

Household effects including heirlooms and a grandfather clock.

Main challenge:

Anxiety around heirloom protection.

How we helped:

Custom crating, securing the pendulum, and detailed packing plan from the survey visit.

“We’re in our seventies and the thought of moving our entire life to the Caribbean terrified me. My wife said she’d whup me if one piece of Grandmummy’s china was broken. It wasn’t. Gary, the survey guy, even remembered my fears for our grandfather clock. He arranged a custom crate, locked the pendulum, and had it strapped upright in the container so it wouldn’t miss a tick.”

Barrel Shipping to Montego Bay

Client:

Sonia

From:

UK

To:

Jamaica

What was shipped:

Household barrels to family.

Main challenge:

Past losses and delays with other providers.

How we helped:

Reliable routing, tracking, and careful handling.

“Three different companies let me down before — one barrel went missing completely, another took four months to arrive. My family depends on these shipments. With Transpakship, I actually sleep at night: I know it’s sorted. My sister says the clothes still smelled like my fabric softener when she opened my barrels!”

Returnee Relocating to Trinidad

Client:

Asim

From:

UK

To:

Port of Spain, Trinidad

What was shipped:

Household goods, tools, and a vinyl collection.

Main challenge:

Worry about damage or forgetting essentials.

How we helped:

Home visit, plain-English guidance, protective packing.

“Twenty years of your life in boxes — that’s scary stuff. I kept thinking I’d forgotten something important or they’d lose my tools. The home visit put me at ease; Liz uses plain English, no jargon. When I unpacked in Port of Spain, even my vinyl was in perfect condition. Already given their number to two friends planning the same move.”

Shipping Care Supplies to Dominica After Storm Damage

Client:

Sarah M.

From:

UK

To:

Dominica

What was shipped:

Urgent care and community supplies.

Main challenge:

Time-critical delivery while coordinating donations and working long shifts.

How we helped:

Extended opening for drop-off, simplified paperwork, and priority handling.

“When you’re trying to help people who’ve lost everything in a hurricane, the last thing you need is shipping drama. I was working 12‑hour shifts and organising donations in my spare time. Transpakship took that stress away — even opened on Saturday so I could drop off. The supplies got there when they were needed most.”

Church Group Shipping Donations to Antigua

Client:

Rodina Thompson

Group:

Church volunteers

To:

Antigua

What was shipped:

Children’s clothing and musical instruments.

Main challenge:

Loss of goods with a previous provider.

How we helped:

Clear itemisation, guidance on documentation, and photo confirmation.

“Our last experience was awful — half the children’s clothes went missing and no one would tell us where. It felt really unfair considering what we were trying to do. This time was completely different. They helped us sort everything properly, explained why certain items needed special documentation, and sent photos when it arrived in Antigua. The kids there are still playing the instruments we sent!”

Shipping a Personal Vehicle to Grenada

Client:

Glendon

From:

UK

To:

Grenada

What was shipped:

Personal pickup truck.

Main challenge:

DVLA/export paperwork and worry about vehicle condition.

How we helped:

Collected the vehicle, managed all documentation, and ensured safe handover.

“I thought shipping a car halfway across the world was mad, but I knew I’d regret leaving my pickup behind. The DVLA paperwork alone was doing my head in, but Transpakship picked it up and handled the lot — even the bits I didn’t know existed. Picked up my truck from St George’s port three weeks later, keys in hand, not a scratch on it.”

UK Importer Shipping Consolidated Goods to Ghana

Client:

Amma

From:

UK

To:

Ghana

What was shipped:

Regular consolidated consignments for resale.

Main challenge:

Unpredictable schedules and hidden costs.

How we helped:

Clear schedules, transparent pricing, and proactive updates.

“I was spending more time chasing freight agents than growing my business. Six months with Transpakship and it’s like running a different business. I know exactly when my goods will arrive and what it will cost. Finally feel like a proper businesswoman, not someone begging for updates.”

Amma
UK–Ghana business owner

I am so grateful to Liz at Transpakship for her help and assistance in ensuring my items would arrive securely to Jamaica. The process was certainly made a lot easier as Liz advised me on preparation and completion of paperwork etc for the container to arrive in Kingston. Liz was always available to contact and to guide me through the process . My goods arrived intact and on time. I would highly recommend using Transpakship and will use them again.

I cannot speak highly enough for the service and support this firm gave me as I moved alone from The UK to Australia. Liz was so supportive, focused & efficient, advising me about packing before the move. Dates from my buyers kept changing but Liz and Gary were patient,supportive and calm, keeping me on track at home. I had many conversations with other members of the team and they are all efficient and lovely. Terry’s team were master packers - TV’s and pictures - no breakages. 10/10 Awesome family business & Team ! Thank you !

I used this company following a recommendation from a friend. The service from enquiry to delivery has been extremely positive experience. I used the door to door service from the UK to Jamaica and from the outset I was given updates as to the progress of my goods. On arrival in Jamaica their agents there were just as professional keeping me updated until delivery. Took all the stress and hassle away. I will definitely be a returning customer and would highly recommend them. Worth the 5 stars. S Morgan

I'm very pleased to offer my recommendation for Transpakship Int. Ltd. I also must say a big thank you to this company who has arranged loading, packing and transporting my 20ft container from Westgate on Sea, Kent, UK, to Montego Bay. door to door. This was my third shipment with this company, need I say more? yes, I'll be shipping with them again within four weeks time because they are extremely helpful and this makes for a more hassle free experience. A big thank you to the team here in UK and their team in Jamaica. Kind regards. B Bowen.

We used Transpakship Int Ltd May 2023 and opted for a door-to-door service from the UK to JA. Excellent service throughout, very informative and Liz was exceptional by taking time to run through the procedures jargon free and always dealt with our questions (because we had many - smile) in a prompt manner. The packers were very hardworking, friendly and professional. Hines Freight Services (based in JA) worked well with Transpakship to manage the final leg of our shipment, where we received an exceptional service also. Will highly recommend Transpakship Int Ltd. Useful tip - Make sure you obtain the necessary insurance coverage for your consignment and meticulously calculate the costs for each insured item. Hope this helps!
