“I chose my career because I love traveling and I value being able to help people all around the world,” said Sayeed, a Boston maxillofacial surgeon. “What I don’t love – and what my wife really doesn’t love! – is all the work and hassle that comes with international moves.”
After navigating a move to Spain and back to the US on their own a few years ago, the couple learned a valuable lesson. “Never again!” Sayeed laughed. “I think we lost more of our possessions than we actually wound up with, trying to handle the international shipping all on our own. My wife is still upset about the clothes that went missing.” He shook his head. “Now we work with the professionals.”
Choosing an international pack and ship service isn’t a simple proposition. “We know how tough the job is,” Sayeed said. “I want to be sure that whoever we trust with our possessions is capable of doing the job.” His first interaction with an international shipping company left him feeling less than confident. “I told him we were moving to Khazakstan and they said “Where?” They’d literally never heard of the entire country. Obviously we didn’t choose them!”
An experienced international pack and ship company will provide a wide range of services for their clientele, including custom crating, secure packing for international freight standards, door to door logistics, customs and insurance paperwork and more. “Make sure to ask about shipment tracking,” Sayeed added. “Many people don’t realize how long it can take for an overseas shipment to arrive. As those days go by, it’s good to be able to check in and be sure that things are proceeding as expected.”
“Life is an adventure!” Sayeed concluded. “We only live once. We only have one opportunity to leave this planet a better place than we found it. Working with a professional international pack and ship service means you can concentrate on living your life to the fullest.”
