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.

" I recently sent a shipment of some furniture, dishes and lots of books from one coast to another. The service I got from Boston Pack and Ship was outstanding from start to finish. The goods were packed well on time and then were delivered in perfect condition at the other end. I was very impressed with the quality of packing, no damage, not even a dented carton. I have had to move things many times, and this is without doubt the best experience I have ever had."
