Planning an International Move? Here’s What You Need to Know

June 16, 2020 by admin

People who have been planning to move to another country from Boston have had their relocation put on hold during the pandemic. Travel to and from many international destinations has been suspended. Things will eventually open back up, but when and how is an open question. Here are some tips to make things less stressful for yourself, if you’re in the position of needing to move internationally now:

Use International Shipping to Make Your Move Simpler & Cheaper

We all know that international shipping takes a long time, but while you’re waiting for the borders to open, your stuff can be shipped ahead of you. If you choose this option, work with a Boston shipping company that specializes in international shipments: they’ll help you take care of all of the complicated paperwork & make sure your stuff is properly packed and insured.

Find a Reliable News Source About Conditions in Your Destination Country

While you’re in the US, it’s relatively easy to keep abreast of pandemic related regulations here. The same may not be true in your destination country. It is a really good idea to find someone who can let you know what the situation is on the ground there so you can make and adjust plans as needed. Maintaining situational awareness is critical to making your move happen smoothly.

Consider Storage as a Smart Way to Save Money

If your international move can’t happen just yet, and you need a safe, affordable place to keep your stuff, talk to your Boston moving company about storage options. Storing your items takes the stress of caring for them off your plate & can make it possible to choose more affordable living accommodations while you are awaiting your opportunity to move. If you have questions about this option, or need more information including pricing, give us a call. We’d be happy to answer all of your questions.

"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."
