A move overseas entails much more than moving to the adjacent town, across the state or even in the same country. International transport requires moving your household goods and belongings across the ocean. This usually means that the bulk of your possessions will travel by container ship to the new home. Depending on the destination, this could take about two months, or possibly more, meaning that you may be without most of what you own for that period of time. If you are looking for professional and organized removal companies, Dallas is one city with may providers that can assist with international relocations.
Start Early
As soon as you know you are moving overseas, begin your research on removal companies, because the process can take time. In order to get an accurate quote, an assessor from each company needs to come to your home to determine exactly how much will be packed and how many containers will be required.
You should get quotes from at least three companies. Specific criteria should be used to evaluate prospective companies, including: professionalism, efficiency, your confidence in their abilities, and friendliness.
Packing
For an international move, it is preferable to hire a removal company that includes a packing service. Removal companies that do the packing are professionals and can not only pack swiftly and efficiently but also know how to pack a box so that it is filled to the top.
By allowing the removal company to do the packing, you can save time and energy and reduce stress. In addition, a good removal company will includes insurance to cover against loss or damage during transit and may also provide a discount on the cost of insurance if they pack your belongings themselves.
Customs and Destination Services
A quality removal company can handle customs clearance of your items. This is facilitated by the company having packed all of your household belongings and creating an inventory which is needed for customs.
Then, if your new home overseas is ready for occupancy, the removal company can handle the final delivery to your new home. They can also provide other services that can orient you and get you familiar with your new community, such as setting in assistance and providing tours of your new neighborhood.
