Planning an International Move Now Requires Special Expertise

August 27, 2020 by admin

Moving from the United States to another country was never a super easy process, but by and large it was manageable, especially if you worked with an experienced international moving company. Factor Coronavirus into the mix, and things are now even more complex.

Any international move has two primary components: moving the people, and moving their things. Right now, it’s the people portion of this equation that’s especially complex.

Each country is taking its own approach to immigration during COVID. Before you embark on your expat adventure, you need to be really sure what you’re getting into. It is essential to ensure you can actually get into the country you’re moving to! If that’s a yes, make sure you’ve undergone any required testing here, and be prepared to be tested and required to quarantine when you arrive. Some other countries are much less flexible about quarantine compliance. This may mean coordinating with your new employer, if appropriate, so expectations are framed appropriately.

Moving household possessions internationally is, by comparison, a relative snap. The trick to making international moves simple and stress free is to work with an experienced international moving company in Boston who can handle the entire job for you. From planning to packing, shipping, and coordinating final delivery, our team can do it all for you.

It is never too soon to begin planning your international move. Many people who are moving out of the country radically downsize their possessions to keep costs down, but that’s not always the best option. Some items may be very expensive or impossible to replace in your new home country. It’s a good idea to check prices and availability in your new country before you decide to toss or give away things you’ll want to have later on.

For more help with planning your international move, or to learn what the costs of an international move are, get in touch. We’re here to help.

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move 35 boxes and 5 other items from Quincy, MA to Columbus, OH. Nothing required any real special handling, just the usual stuff, some of which was fragile. The shipment and delivery was seamless. The initial pick up was great, the guys came when they said they would. The delivery date was to be between three and six weeks and it was three weeks on the dot—maybe even a day earlier. The whole process was so efficient and I was kept informed all along the way as to timing of the delivery. First several days before and then again the day before along with a four-hour window of time. Although I haven't had the opportunity to recommend Boston Pack and Ship, I would certainly do so without hesitation!"
