Start from the preparation you have done

What would you like help with?

You may have started packing, or you may want to discuss more of the job. Explain the work as it stands so the team can review what still needs doing.

Your preparation

Tell us what is already ready.

Say which boxes are packed and which furniture pieces are on the list. Mark estimates and unsettled details clearly rather than filling gaps with guesses.

If you intend to do some preparation yourself, explain that alongside the help you want to request.

The help to consider

Point out what needs our attention.

Show delicate pieces, furniture that may need dismantling and collection access. Explain whether you want packing or other preparation discussed during the survey.

The requested tasks belong in the proposed scope. Read that scope with the route and receiving arrangements before agreeing the work.

Make the list useful to the review

Describe the belongings as they are.

Furniture and household pieces

Work through the rooms, then the larger pieces.

List what is going, with approximate sizes and any fragile or removable parts. Explain the condition of unusual pieces and what preparation you think may be needed.

Build a room-by-room planning list

For boxes and barrels

Count each type and add external measurements, approximate weight and broad contents. Distinguish packed packages from items still needing help.

For other goods

Identify vehicles, business goods or unusual items separately. Their acceptance and import requirements need a specific review.

Use the guidance for this destination

Check the requirements for the French part.

French Saint Martin has a specific customs and local tax position. A page about Dutch Sint Maarten, Saint Barthélemy or mainland France does not settle the requirements for this shipment.

Give the actual origin, belongings and purpose of the move. Ask the relevant authority which current procedures apply before relying on a general moving article or a tax assumption.

Read the Saint-Martin Customs section Find the local tax authority's guidance

Bring the receiving side into the work

Keep the requested help connected to the handover.

Name who expects to receive the goods and describe access at the intended French-side address. Explain what is settled and which arrival tasks you want help with.

Survey, packing and furniture work

Let the survey clarify the preparation.

Our team handles the survey and manages the agreed job. Full-service moves include professional international packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, with the work set out in the quotation.

Our international packing specialists have over 20 years of experience. Discuss the pieces needing their attention; packing-only conditions need a separate check.

A clearer French Saint Martin request

Questions about preparation and receiving.

Is this the French-side page?

Yes. This page concerns the French part of Saint Martin. Give the actual receiving address so the proposed work is reviewed for the right destination.

What if my receiving address is on the Dutch side?

Choose Sint Maarten in the enquiry and give that address. It is a separate destination; this French-side request does not confirm a cross-border service.

Can I prepare some belongings myself?

Explain what you intend to prepare and what help you want considered. Identify packed packages and unfinished furniture work so the requested scope can be discussed clearly.

What furniture details help?

Give approximate sizes, delicate or removable parts and collection access. Point out anything unusual during the survey rather than assuming a standard preparation method.

Do French mainland rules settle my shipment?

No. Ask which current requirements apply to the actual origin and goods for French Saint Martin. A mainland moving guide or another territory's treatment is not an individual decision for this move.

Can I ask about leaving French Saint Martin?

Use the route leaving French Saint Martin option and name the intended destination. That direction needs its own route and receiving review.

Connected services

One shipment may need more than one service.

Start with the main shipment. Add supporting services only when they are useful, so the enquiry stays clear.
