How long does it take for my belonging to arrive from the UK to Poland?
The time frame for the arrival of your goods, when you move from the UK to Poland depends on the volume option, you’ve chosen. Fastest would be large removal, where the removal company will use a dedicated van or lorry, so it is possible to receive your goods within 24 hours from loading time. Since the UK is not a member of the EU additional procedures are implemented, that may affect this time.
If you choose the “small” removal option, which technically speaking is a shared service where your belongings will travel with other customers’ items, so the time could be extended up to 3 days, however, as we are very busy in MyCheapRemovals it is easy for us to combine deliveries and make your belongings in shorter time.

I’m moving to Poland – what documents do I need?
Since the United Kingdom left European Union there are a couple of more documents required when you move to Poland (and to be frank, all EU countries). First, we will require an “Inventory list” and a copy of your passport or national ID card. With new regulations, we will need proof of your address in the UK, where you were living for the last 12 months and any proof of the destination address in Poland.
When you decide to use our removal service we’ll send you a couple of documents to fill in: “non-cession” and CERFA – our customer service representative will help you with this.
