Windmill Forwarding: See how a full moving service makes moving overseas a breeze

Relocating overseas can feel overwhelming, especially when the destination is still uncertain or it’s unclear how to start organising the move. With so many unknowns, even taking the first step can seem daunting.

Move stress-free with Windmill Forwarding. Request a quote now!

A trusted international moving partner, such as Windmill Forwarding, can offer structure, clarity and comprehensive support to efficiently guide the entire process, from initial uncertainty to a confident arrival. 

Windmill Forwarding specialises in overseas relocations, primarily between Europe via the Port of Rotterdam, and destinations around the world.

One-stop shop for global moving

Even local moves involve many details, and international relocations have an entirely new level of complexity. A streamlined, end-to-end service helps make the process as stress-free as possible.

Windmill Forwarding offers the following services:

  • Coordination with trusted local moving partners in the country of origin and destination
  • Seamless door-to-door delivery
  • Complete handling of customs and paperwork
  • Flexible service packages tailored to different budgets
  • Temporary storage options
  • Optional handyman services for settling in
  • Responsible disposal of packing waste

Seamless coordination at origin and destination

Windmill Forwarding works with experienced local moving companies. This ensures that expats benefit from smoother logistics, clear communication and personalised service.

Local crews are familiar with the area, speak the language, and can respond quickly to any on-the-ground challenges. Their hands-on support makes settling in easier.

With trusted professionals handling the details at both ends, expats can focus on starting their new chapter with confidence and peace of mind.

Groupage: A smart, proven moving method

Why pay for an entire container when only part of it is needed? With groupage, several households share a single container, reducing costs, waste and complexity. After all, no one books an entire ship just to move a single container, so why pay for a full container when a shared one does the job?

Benefits of groupage:

  • Cost-effective: pay only for the space used 
  • Suitable for small to large volumes 
  • Environmentally conscious: less shipping waste 

Sustainable by design

Groupage isn’t just efficient, it’s sustainable. By combining 8 to 12 household shipments heading in the same direction, container space is used more efficiently, minimising waste and reducing environmental impact.

At every stage - in the country of origin, in transit, and at the destination - Windmill Forwarding ensures logistics are optimised to avoid unnecessary emissions and empty miles.

While international moving will always require resources, the shared container model ensures they are used as responsibly as possible.

Fair pricing and high-quality service 

An international move involves more than just cost; it requires trust that everything will be handled professionally and efficiently. Windmill Forwarding offers transparent, fair pricing without compromising on service quality.

As a FIDI FAIM-certified company, every relocation meets the highest global standards. When unexpected challenges arise, a trusted and experienced partner ensures peace of mind and a smooth resolution.
