Few tips to consider when undertaking an international move include:
Thorough Planning
Lead time is key, so that all details of the move can be arranged. The good news is, one you have decided on your moving date, your professional international movers will arrange most of the details for you, taking much of the planning off your shoulders.
The Destination
You moving destination is a big factor in how your move will be completed. Will your move be from Canada to the USA? Or will it require air or shipping transport? Obviously if you are moving an ocean away, there will be multiple modes of transport required, including truck and cargo ship or plane.
Proper Packing
Throwing your things in boxes and loading them on a truck may be fine for a quick move down the street, but for an international move, proper packing in transport-ready packaging is essential, both for keeping your belongings well-protected and for making them manageable for streamlined transport.
Security and Insurance
With any move, there is always the potential for loss or damage, but more so with an international move. Choosing reputable international movers, who have an established, trusted network to complete you move is important, but you must also ensure that your move is covered by adequate insurance.
Management & Communication
An international move can provoke a lot of anxiety, so dealing with a well-established international moving team, who provide outstanding service and capable management of all the details of your move, as well as keep you informed with regular communication will set your mind at ease.
