Shared Load vs Dedicated Service – What is best for you?
At Bearsbys, as we run a regular removals to France from the UK service. We offer a part-load service (where you share the cost with other customers) or a dedicated service which is your own exclusive truck….
Share the load and share the cost.
How are costs calculated?
Questions we ask:
How far you are travelling? Will you need shared or dedicated transport? How flexible you are with delivery times? Access issues for our truck at delivery? All this can be discussed during your enquiry and can affect our final quotation.
Costs are calculated by the volume of your effects in cubic meters and is based on the space you take up in our truck. This can save considerable cost but it does mean you need to be flexible with delivery dates. If you choose a dedicated service then the costs are higher but this might be your preferred option. We will advise you after you make contact with us.

FAQs
Can you assist me with the paperwork as things have changed post-Brexit?
Yes, entry into the European union has changed and is subject to checks and legal requirements subject to your particular circumstances.
For example are you moving through work or just sending some items out for a holiday home etc.. We can advise you on the necessary paperwork required to enable duty free entry of your goods in to France.
If you choose to proceed with us our France customs agents will talk you through the exact requirements depending on your circumstances.
If you do not qualify for duty free entry we can advise on the duty that French customs may require.
Do you use a small Luton Van to transport from UK to France?
No, we don’t, we use our removal lorries to transport your belongings as this is more cost effective than running a number of smaller lutons vans.
Should the road access be remote, we will arrange for a local man and van who we work with to complete the last part of the journey should the place you are moving to not permit our removal lorries.
If I ever want to return to the UK from France, do you provide this service?
Yes, we do, we are very happy to provide what is known as a return load service. Please get in touch with us so that we determine when our vehicles will be in your area and we can return your belongings to any destination in the UK.
Are there specific dates/days/times/seasons when you are not permitted into a country/region?
No Heavy goods vehicles are allowed on the roads on Sundays in Europe. There are also additional restrictions on Saturdays during the summer and also during the ski seasons in parts of France/Italy. Therefore we cannot deliver on these days and have to wait until the following day to run.
MOVING TO FRANCE.
Weekly Departures to All Regions, Including Paris & Bordeaux
Probably the largest move we have ever carried out to France involved five full Pantechnicon loads to the Pitou-Charentes Region. As our client wanted each load to arrive at weekly intervals we were able to use the same staff to deliver each load. After 5 weeks they became such good friends that one of our removals staff has had several holidays with them since!
The client literally did take everything including the kitchen sink. One of the five loads included a complete kitchen and 2 bathrooms (including the sinks), together with tractors, trailers, scaffolding, show jumps and even a Victorian lamp post. Obviously not all of our removals to France are as involved as this. The majority of moves consist of shared loads where each customer pays for the amount of space they utilise in the truck, thereby sharing the load and sharing the cost. As we run to France every two weeks this is often a very popular and economical method for customers moving to France.
Another example of one of our more unusual removals to France; we recently delivered an entire barn full of farming equipment including a renovated 1933 Bedford Truck which still ran. Our customer was even able to drive it into our truck and back out again using our specially adapted car ramps.
