Our International Moving Services

1. Packing and Unpacking Services

Packing Services Include:

• Full Packing: Our movers will pack everything, including fragile items, clothing, furniture, and electronics, using professional-grade materials.
• Partial Packing: If you only need help packing certain items, our movers will pack those specific goods while you pack the rest.
• Custom Crating: Valuable or delicate items like artwork, antiques, or electronics may require custom crates to ensure safe transportation.
• Unpacking: Once your belongings arrive at your destination, we offer unpacking services, setting up furniture, and even helping you organize your new space.

2. International Shipping and Freight Services

Shipping Options Include:

• Sea Freight: The most cost-effective way to ship large volumes of goods. It’s slower than air freight but suitable for household items, furniture, and vehicles. Your items are loaded into a shipping container and transported by cargo ship.
• Air Freight: Faster but more expensive, air freight is ideal for smaller or time-sensitive shipments. If you need to move quickly or have only a few items, this option might be suitable.
• Land Freight: For relocations within regions like Europe or North America, land freight may be an option. Items are transported by truck or rail to their destination.
• Consolidated Shipping: If you don’t have enough goods to fill an entire container, we offer consolidated shipping, where your belongings share space with those of other customers. This can reduce costs.

3. Customs Clearance and Documentation

• Completing the necessary forms: We will assist you in filling out required customs documentation and ensure that everything is in order before shipment.
• Import Duties and Taxes: We can guide you through any applicable import duties or taxes based on the value of your goods or the country you are moving to.
• Restricted or Prohibited Items: Some items may be restricted or prohibited in certain countries, such as plants, firearms, or certain foods. We will help identify these items and advise you accordingly.

4. Storage Solutions

Storage Options Include:

• Short-Term Storage: For customers who need temporary storage while waiting for their new home to be ready.
• Long-Term Storage: If you plan to be away for an extended period, we offer long-term storage options. Your belongings will be stored in our secure facility and can be shipped when you're ready to settle in.
• Climate-Controlled Storage: For sensitive items like electronics, artwork, or antiques, we offer climate-controlled storage that maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels.

5. Insurance Coverage

Types of Insurance:

• Basic Liability Insurance: Often included in the cost of the move, but it typically only covers limited damage or loss. This is often not enough to fully protect valuable items.
• Full Value Protection: This more comprehensive option covers the full replacement value of any lost, damaged, or destroyed items during the move. It’s usually offered for an additional fee.

6. Vehicle Shipping Services

Vehicle Shipping Services Include:

• Shipping by Sea: The most common method for international vehicle transport, where your vehicle is either shipped in a container or on a roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel.
• Shipping by Air: Faster but significantly more expensive, air freight is typically reserved for high-value vehicles or when speed is a priority.
• Customs and Documentation: Like personal belongings, vehicles must be cleared through customs at both the departure and destination countries. The moving company will assist with the paperwork and regulations involved in this process.
