Pandemic & Politics Drive Desire to Move Out of Country to New Heights

October 14, 2020 by admin

Just a few days ago, the New York Times asked “Will you leave the country if Trump is re-elected?” It’s a question that’s on lots of people’s minds. Forbes shared tips on how affluent Americans can move to Denmark, where COVID containment strategies appear to be more effective than what we have here.

If you’re pondering an international move from Boston yourself, there are some things you need to know.

Moving out of the country is not as simple as moving across town or even to another state. There’s an additional layer of complexity inherent in moving to another nation with its own rules, regulations, and currently, COVID response. For this reason, it’s important to work with qualified professionals who can help make your move simple and stress free.

While the ideal planning timeline for a domestic move is between a month and six weeks for the typical family, give yourself three to five months to plan and execute your international move – and perhaps longer, if securing the proper permissions and paperwork takes more time than expected.

International moves can be quite expensive. For that reason, many would-be expats become very serious minimalists prior to making their move. Downsize strategically, with a clear understanding of what it will cost to replace certain items in your new homeland. Amazon doesn’t actually deliver everywhere, and the prices you pay for what you might consider everyday ordinary staple items here can be much higher in other locations. Of course the converse can be true: there’s no sense in paying to move items you can replace at a lower cost overseas.

Another way to contain the costs of your international move is to work with a packing and shipping company. Expertise in crating and packing households for international shipment means your things will be protected from the rigors of travel on ships, planes, and trucks. Point to point shipment tracking & comprehensive insurance coverage provides peace of mind.

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."

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!
