A Positively Moving Experience
Tips on Preparing for your International Move
When making an overseas move, most people are simply not comfortable handling all the details. Learning the processes is time-consuming and frustrating, especially if there is a language barrier. You don’t have to take on all that stress and headache on your own. Professional international moving companies offer moving and storage services that can assist you along the way. They are licensed to do international moves, have experience in the necessary procedures, and know how to pack your belongings so they end up at your new doorstep in the same condition they left your previous residence. When you are looking for an overseas moving company, there are some tips you can follow that will help you make a wise decision.
Tip #1: Know where you are going. If at all possible, be able to identify the city or even address of your new home. This helps movers understand what they need to consider when giving you a quote for international moving services.
Tip #2: Know what you are taking with you. For most people, it doesn’t make sense to take everything they own. Some items are easier to purchase in your new hometown than to move from your old one. Decide ahead of time what you are putting in storage, what you are selling, and what you are taking. Much of the cost of international moving depends on the pounds of stuff you are taking. Having a good idea of what you are taking can help movers estimate your cost more accurately.
Tip #3: Know who you are dealing with. Find out the reputation of the moving company with the Better Business Bureau and past clients. Search the internet for reviews about their services. Also, ask if you can have references specifically from international relocation clients. You can also ask to meet the foreman or team members who will handle your move.
Tip #4: Know what got sent on your move. Make sure that your international relocation plan allows for the proper labeling of all containers and an inventory for you to carry in your trip overseas.
Tip #5: Know that your special needs are considered. If you have non-standard items, or those that need special considerations, like fine art, expensive antiques, pianos, or electronics that need climate controlled spaces, make sure the company is qualified and experienced in dealing with your particular items.
Following these five tips will help you hire a qualified international moving company and allow you to have a more accurate estimate of the cost of the move.
