Choose an International Moving Company that Understands Logistics

July 29, 2016 by admin

“The last time I moved to Africa – we were in Cote D’Ivoire for twenty-eight months – our moving company just had no clue at all. Our possessions came into the country on a Friday afternoon before a week-long carnival. That meant there was no way to get our stuff. We were forced to get by with only what we’d brought in our suitcases for nine days. With two kids under six you can imagine how fun that was!” Leena shook her head. “This time, we’re making sure that we work with a moving company that truly understands international moves.”

Moving out of the country is a complicated process. Every country is unique, and knowing how and where to ship household goods into the country requires understanding the necessary paperwork, customs and import process, and the cultural nuances of the community you’re going into. Timing can be very important: you don’t want to experience what Leena went through, and have your items arrive during a festival that shuts the entire country down, nor find yourself worrying about what happens to cargo containers during monsoon season. While it’s not always possible to avoid delays and disturbances to your timeline, an experienced international moving company will be aware of circumstances that will put your timeline in jeopardy.

Whenever possible, it’s a good idea to have someone in-country keeping you appraised of conditions on the ground as you prepare for your international move. We’re living in some very turbulent times, with uprest and attempted coups filling the headlines. Being prepared can make all the difference, as can choosing the right international moving company.

"Working in support services for a large law firm, I consistently turn to Boston Pack and Ship for assistance in moving heavy equipment to our satellite offices, both in the U.S. and overseas. The shipments arrive in excellent condition, in a timely manner and are delivered professionally. Whenever we ship a large quantity of files to other offices, the most cost-effective method is to give them to Boston Pack and Ship and let them handle it. Without Boston Pack & ship backing me up, my job would be close to impossible."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
