Three Things To Know When Planning an Overseas Move

April 19, 2019 by admin

If your future plans include an international move, the best time to start learning about the process and preparing yourself is now. Overseas moves involve a lot of logistics – simply getting permission to reside in another country can be quite a process – and we’re going to focus on what we do best: international household moves.

Here’s three things to know when planning your overseas move:

It’s Vital to Understand Your New Home as Much as Possible Before You Move There

Moving to Paris is different than moving to Patagonia. Spend time researching the climate and lifestyle to understand what you’ll really need to bring and what you won’t need at all. Overseas moves can be expensive, and one way to keep costs down is to avoid moving items you don’t need or won’t use.

Minimize Breakables in Your Life

International moves involve getting your stuff onto a plane or ship, transporting it over the ocean, and a journey generally via truck or moving van to your new address. This can be a rough process, and fragile, breakable items don’t always travel well. It’s a good best practice to keep these items to a minimum, and if you simply must have them, choose an international moving company that can provide the specialty packing services you’ll need to protect them, including custom crating.

You Want Total Door to Door Support for Your First Move

Whenever possible, work with a Boston international moving company that can provide total door to door support for your international move. This means you know your household possessions and personal belongings are in good hands the entire time they’re in transit. Boston Pack and Ship works with all of the major freight carriers to ensure reliable, top quality service in even the most out of the way destinations.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
