Shipping to Norway from the UK

Prices for shipping to Norway depend on four main factors: the volume of your goods, the collection postcode, the delivery address in Norway, and we handle packing materials or insurance.

As a guide, a single large box or small item of furniture sent from London to Oslo typically starts from around £120 to £180 by groupage road freight.

A full bedroom worth of furniture, roughly four to six cubic metres, usually falls in the range of £350 to £600. A complete three-bedroom house move of 25 to 35 cubic metres runs from approximately £1,800 to £3,200, depending on access at both ends and any specialist handling required for pianos or antiques.

These figures are starting points.

Your actual price depends on your specific goods list, both postcodes and the service level you choose. Door-to-door service costs more than port-to-port but saves you hiring local transport at the Norwegian end. We always give you a fixed written quote, not an estimate that grows after collection.

Packing materials, such as double-walled cartons, tissue paper and wardrobe boxes, are available to add to your booking.

Full packing by our crew is also available if you would rather hand that job over entirely.

Norwegian import VAT currently stands at 25 percent on goods above the low-value threshold.

Personal effects imported by people relocating their permanent residence may qualify for duty and VAT relief, provided you can show documentation of residency change. We walk you through the paperwork so you arrive at the right figure before you commit.

Giant Van collects from every postcode in England, Scotland and Wales.

If you are based in central London, rural Aberdeenshire or the Welsh valleys, we can reach you. Northern Ireland collections are also available; contact us to confirm lead times from your specific postcode, as ferry schedules from Belfast affect timing.

Common UK origins for Norway shipments include London and the South East, where a large number of Norwegian nationals working in finance and tech return home after a few years.

Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh also generate regular Norway-bound volumes, particularly for oil and gas workers who spent time in Scotland before relocating to Stavanger or Bergen.

From London, road transit to Oslo via the Channel Tunnel and Scandinavia takes approximately five to seven working days.

From Edinburgh, the proximity to North Sea ferry routes can reduce transit time slightly for large consignments routed via Rosyth or Newcastle.

If you are sending goods from a business address rather than a home, the customs process is slightly different.

Commercial shipments require a commercial invoice and may attract duty on the full declared value regardless of how long you have owned the goods. Speak to our team before booking if your collection address is a warehouse, office or storage unit rather than a private home.

Students returning to Norway at the end of a UK degree course often qualify for personal effects relief, provided they can show enrolment and proof that they are returning home permanently.

We handle these cases regularly and can advise you specifically on what documentation your university can provide.
