What Factors Could Affect My Parcel Delivery Times?

PSS always aims to get your parcel delivered on time, no matter what size your load. However, it pays to be aware of Hong Kong’s public holidays when planning your move and to factor in any delays accordingly. You can take a look at upcoming public holidays in Hong Kong here. You should also be aware of any unexpected extreme weather conditions that might affect the timing of your parcel delivery.

What is the Best Way to Send Multiple Parcels to Hong Kong?

If you have a number of items to send to Hong Kong, for example loads of more than ten boxes or household moves that our usual parcel service doesn’t cover, our removals to Hong Kong service should meet your needs.

What is the Hong Kong Address Format When Sending From the UK?

Hong Kong postal address formats take a similar format to UK addresses. When addressing a parcel for sending to Hong Kong from the UK, you should include the following in addition to the recipient’s name:

  • The street address including the apartment number, floor and building name
  • The name of the village, town or district
  • ‘Hong Kong’ or ‘HKG’ in caps under the address

View Hong Kong Post’s guidelines for up-to-date information and more. PSS’s international parcel shipping service will take care of making sure your items get to the right place and will discuss any requirements with you ahead of time.

We generally start this process as quickly and as early as we can, rest assured that we will keep you updated every step of the way to ensure that prior to your arrival we have all the relevant documentation and contact details required

If you are transporting alcohol, it is important that you declare these in advance to avoid delays. A list will need to be submitted listing every bottle of alcohol as well as the size, type and strength

Firearms will be ceased for inspection and provided you have the valid certificate and the origin de-registration certificate or confirmation your firearm will be returned to you.

Your PSS Move Manager will also be able to advise on the latest customs requirements for Hong Kong. Contact our team to find out more.

How Does Delivery to My Address in Hong Kong Work?

Once your goods have been released by Hong Kong customs we’ll contact you to arrange a suitable delivery day.
Once we’ve received clearance of your goods we’ll either deliver your sea freight container directly to your new home or it will be delivered in a separate vehicle. This all depends on the type of shipment you are sending. Our unloading crew will place your items in the rooms of your choice and unwrap and remove the packing material from any furniture.

Do I Need Shipment Protection Cover?

We highly advise you to take out shipment protection cover before sending items to Hong Kong. Although you’re not likely to experience any problems, it’s still wise to have cover when sending goods overseas, especially for items of any significant financial value.

PSS International offers extremely flexible Shipment Protection Plans. You can cover your whole shipment or choose the individual items you wish to cover. Your PSS Move Manager can explain the different options available and guide you through completing the Shipment Protection Valuation form.
