My advice is have all the necessary jobs like packing and unpacking, moving the crates door to door and getting the packaging materials out in document so that in case the moving company does not met the required job, you have the necessary documentation to back you up when you chose to have a complaint.

Moving overseas can be complicated. I always encourage everything to be in writing. Also use a reputable company who services both origin and destination countries. Shipments under 5,000lbs typically go in “lift vans” which hold 1,000lbs each approx. Larger shipments go in 20ft and 40ft steamship containers. When negotiatiating your international move, ask for door-to-door service including packing and unpacking. Again, get it in writing. Yes, there is paper and corrugation out the whazoo and having it taken away is a big big plus. Hope this helps. Chris w/ Scobey Moving 800.403.9764

Especially look for (marked in red): Active and valid USDOT license, Crashed & accidents, moving you home allowance (you don’t want lumber truck will move you, right?

You don’t want a “General Freight” company will move you, and not a company with history of crashes and injuries!
