Once you have found your new home and your offer has been accepted, it's time to start your moving house checklist! With no complications, a straightforward move can take around 8 weeks to go through. It's essential to get the legal side in place early on to ensure a smooth transaction of your property sale or purchase.
As you would expect, we work to internationally-recognised standards, including ISO 9001 and FIDI FAIM - but we aim to exceed your expectations with the extra care and attention to detail that single us out as the removal company of choice for home owners, companies and fine art collectors across the globe.
Our rich history of moving clients to all corners of the globe (and often back again) provides us with exceptional experience, enabling us to provide you with an unrivalled overseas move. As an independently audited member of the premier international relocation network - FIDI - when you entrust your move to Shore Porters you can rest assured that your possessions are in the very safest of hands.
Your belongings are packed at your home in specially-designed storage containers, which are secured and transferred to our store in Aberdeen until you require them. These containers are, of course, clean, dry and secure, and customers are charged per container per week.
Let Shore Porters take the stress out of moving with our dedicated commercial relocation service. From price estimation and project planning through to packing, storing and the successful delivery of goods, our experienced team of industry experts will help guide you through your move every step of the way.

Excellent service from Richard from quote to drop off (on two separate occasions) when moving heavy oak furniture 600 miles up the UK. All arrived in immaculate condition. I would not hesitate to use Shoreporters again.

From start to finish dealing with Shore Porters was great. The pre move survey was carried out quickly & professionally. The quote arrived that afternoon and was fair. The actual move was a breeze. They had 4/5 on the job and a 5 bed house was emptied in 3 hours. The guys were really friendly & helpful.

I think removal men (persons!) are possibly my favourite people! Ian and Michael from The Shore Porters Society have worked tirelessly and always with a smile. They have made removal day 1 easy and stress free. Now for day 2 ....

Got to say we have had a great experience with shore porters. We are in norfolk and all of our stuff was in storage in aberdeen. Shore porters picked it up, repacked and delivered it to us. We didnt even have… to be there. Richard Henderson and Sandy in accounts were super helpful and the fellas who came in on the day couldnt do enough for us. Really appreciate all their help. Thanks guys!

Awful storage company. Please avoid. Only open when they feel it’s suits them even if you’re in the middle of loading or unloading items the decide to shut even though their times say different. Not customer friendly and very rude.

Really disappointed to use them as they have not only mishandled my items resulting in several breakages but 2 of my new expensive shoe pairs are stolen. I am in a loss of £1000 atleast altogether.
My garden swing is broken, my cutlery is broken, my makeup is all damaged, one in each 6 pair of shoes are missing and 2 are stolen!
They did not even touch the bathroom during packaging. Never seen such a worse customer service ever!

I have used Shore Porters twice in the past. Friendly office staff, arrived when they said they would, price as estimated and very curteous packers/removers. Was a little concerned when one of them arrived with a 'sh*t happens' badge on given he was about to pack up my entire life to put into storage but it all worked out in the end!


Would be more than happy to recommend!

I recently used Shore Porters as part of a move. The office staff were very friendly and helpful, I had one point of contact who was always ale to give accurate details on status. They arrived when they said they would, the drivers were very professional, friendly and helpful.


As well as offering moving services they also do storage.


One of the superior companies in this field in my opinion. They know their stuff!
