Why Use Nomad
Nomad is clearly the best choice for removals to and from Greece, Italy and South Central Europe. The many benefits of choosing Nomad are listed below.
Expertise
Nomad are the experts in moving to and from Greece and Italy.
We are a properly-trained, BAR-registered removal company and we do all of the work ourselves from door to door. We are real specialists in Greece and Italy. In contrast, most companies who claim to specialise in Greece are either “virtual” removal companies who subcontract out all of their deliveries or small unregistered operators (not BAR members) claiming to have experience in removals.
Our teams have extensive local knowledge and a great deal of experience in moving to these wonderful countries. We are well-equipped to handle the particular challenges involved in accessing remote locations and ancient towns, giving our customers the confidence that we will manage their entire move smoothly and professionally. We have been moving people to this part of the world for many years, and we have hundreds of happy customers.
Because we utilise our own vehicles, NOT shipping containers, freight forwarders, or general haulage contractors, our service is secure & regular.
Financial Security
In the current economic climate this is very important. As a member of the BAR (British Association of Removers), Nomad International is covered by the BAR pre-payment protection scheme within the UK and Europe. This means that if a BAR member goes bankrupt while your goods are in transit, your payment is protected. Furthermore, the BAR will endeavour to arrange another removal company to take over the job and complete it for you. It is very good protection in the current economic climate. If a non-BAR member company goes bust while your goods are in transit, there is nothing you can do.
Membership of the BAR and FEDEMAC is important for other reasons too of course. This gives you the confidence that you are dealing with a professional, regulated company, with fully-trained staff and proper insurance protection available. In contrast, companies who choose not to be members of regulating bodies like these are allowed to operate however they choose.
Speed
Our transit time can be as low as 3 days from the UK to Italy, 5 days to mainland Greece and 7 days to the Greek Islands. In contrast, shipping containers can take up to 16 weeks to reach these same destinations. Container ships do not stay within the EU so goods must clear customs when they arrive at the port, causing further delays. Our direct overland service avoids these delays.
Convenience
Once the necessary information has been collected we will prepare all other required paperwork. As our service operates overland you will not be required to visit customs to release your goods or asked to complete any other documentation. Furthermore, we will deliver your goods to your door, rather than just to the port. And we will of course carry them into your home, rather than just to the kerb side.
Value for Money
Costs are based on actual volume used rather than container (20′ or 40′), or pallet space (m2) making our service extremely competitive. You only pay for the space you use. And because we are larger than man-and-van operators, we are able to offer a more frequent service at a lower price.
Packaging
Our team will professionally export-wrap your furniture, large electrical items, glassware, china and delicate goods to protect them during transit. Alternatively for customers undertaking their own packing, Nomad can provide all the necessary packaging materials you may require (boxes / tape / tissue paper / bubble wrap). These can be dispatched upon instruction via courier, enabling you to receive your packaging well in advance of your collection date.
Collection
Once a collection date has been agreed our expert fully uniformed crews will arrive to collect your goods. During the collection process your goods will be export wrapped in order to protect them during transit. Once your goods have been prepared they will be carefully inventoried & loaded into the collection vehicle & returned to our UK and European hubs for dispatch. We are also equipped to transport motorbikes, cars, boats, & machinery.
Transit
Nomad’s fleet of air ride vehicles are all purpose-built to carry your goods in optimum security & safety. The economical use of our high capacity articulated vehicles for the depot-to-depot leg of the journey allows deliveries to be made in record time at competitive prices.
Drivers remain with their vehicles at all times and all consignments are tracked door-to-door. This unique operational method enables Nomad to offer timed collection & delivery with pin-point accuracy.
Access
Nomad is the only operator in Europe equipped with purpose-built on-board porter vehicles for the movement of household goods & personal effects. These fantastic vehicles ensure that we can access even the most difficult-to-reach destinations. While larger sea containers would more often than not have to be accessed at the port and trans-shipped by the customer to their intended destination (sometimes kilometres away), Nomad will be able to bring your goods to your door. This procedure provides peace of mind door-to-door for a stess-free move.
Delivery
Upon instruction your goods will be delivered on a pre-arranged date, either direct or timed via store. Your goods will be transferred to their new destination and distributed to the rooms of your choice.
If you have chosen the full un-pack service your goods will be carefully un-wrapped and associated waste material will be removed and returned to the hub for recycling.
Storage
Our excellent storage facilities in both the UK and Greece are at your disposal should you require storage for your goods. We can accommodate any quantity for any duration. All our premises are fully insured and completely secure. We also offer a self-service facility at our UK warehouse for customers wishing to reduce costs and bring their own goods to or from our store.
