The relocation to another country shouldn’t start with making boxes. It starts with sorting out the things that need to be taken.

In a household, there could be furniture, kitchenware, electronic items, clothes, books and personal belongings along with some fragile items. Carrying all these things without doing anything about the shipment will add extra volume and expenses.

The service could include:

• Pre-move inventory planning
• Packing and wrapping of the household
• Preparation of furniture
• Packing of fragile items
• Shipment planning
• Assistance with documentation if necessary
• Transportation planning
• Arrangement of delivery at destination

And depending on the destination and type of shipment, it could even be more.

The best way would be to divide your belongings into the things that you really require and those that don’t. And this is a relatively easy step that will be of great help for the international relocation.

When it comes to relocating a domestic household, it travels only a few days while for international relocation the journey will become longer with several stages of handling. This increases the requirement for the packing.

A glass item that could be okay for domestic relocation is going to need more protection when the distance is increased. The furniture may need extra wrapping while the cartons need to be packed and labeled properly.

Then there is the requirement for the documentation. Different countries have their own regulations for the households, restricted items and other paperwork that could differ according to the destination and shipment. So it is always recommended that you check the requirements first.

Another issue could be the delay at the customs. No moving company can guarantee that there won’t be any question raised regarding the shipment. But proper planning and documentation will reduce the probability of such a problem.

The process starts with your destination, pickup address, moving date and approximate inventory. It could require a survey or inventory discussion depending on the size of the shipment.

Once the scope is known, the requirements for the packing are sorted out. Furniture, fragile articles, electronics and other household things are prepared according to their nature.

The shipment is then collected and shifted as per the transportation arrangement. The documentation and destination related requirements are taken care of according to the scope of the services while the customer remains responsible for providing the required personal and shipment details.

Delivery at destination is also planned according to the arrangement and local requirements.

The most important point here is communication. You should know what stage your shipment is at and what information is required from you.

What Can Affect the International Shifting Charges?

There is no general cost for the International Shifting Services. The final cost could depend on the origin and destination, shipment volume, packing requirements, transportation, handling, documentation and destination requirements.

Sending a few cartons of personal belongings is completely different from relocating a complete 3BHK household with furniture and electronics.

Sea freight and air freight also have different cost and transit time considerations where both options are available.

Yes, international relocation is going to cost you a lot. But this is how it goes while relocating a household internationally. What you should aim for is getting a proper quotation of the costs and checking what all services and charges are included before making the payment.

Example of an Overseas Relocation

Consider a family moving to a new country because one parent gets a job there. They want to take beds, dining furniture, kitchen items, clothing, books and some personal belongings.

Instead of packing everything at the last minute, the household can be planned ahead several weeks before the relocation. Unnecessary things are sorted out, fragile items are identified and the shipment is packed according to the timeline.

Now you have one less problem to worry about during an already busy period.
