How to Move to a New Country Safely and Securely
Choosing the Right Moving Company
When moving to a new country, it's important to consider the location and find a moving company that operates worldwide.
Reduce Costs by Selling Off Items
Shipping belongings overseas can be expensive, so consider selling furniture and other items to reduce the load and save money.
Get Multiple Quotes to Negotiate the Price
The longer the distance, the more moving will cost, so get quotes from different companies to negotiate a better price for your move.
Beware of Bait-and-Switch Pricing
Always vet your moving company and watch out for bait-and-switch pricing that can lead to unexpected increases in the cost of your move.
Choose a Reputable Moving Company
Check reviews on websites like Trustpilot, Facebook, and Google to ensure you're working with a legitimate and reliable moving company.
Understand Insurance Coverage
Make sure you understand the type of insurance coverage you have for your belongings during transport and consider full-value coverage for expensive items.
Avoid Moving During Peak Seasons
Moving during winter or holidays can lead to higher shipping rates, so try to schedule your move during off-peak times for lower costs.
Ensure Security and Round-the-Clock Support
Choose a moving company that offers round-the-clock support, respects your needs, and provides clear quotes and insurance coverage.
Don't Put Down Money Until Necessary
Only pay a deposit once you have a clear-cut quote and a guarantee that your items are adequately insured during transit.
