Tips On How To Select An International Moving Company

Moving Abroad With Professional Experience

Do your homework: Research moving companies online and check their reviews and ratings on reputable websites such as Google My Business.
Get recommendations: Ask your friends, family, or colleagues who have recently moved internationally. Get their feedback and learn from their experiences.
Check for licenses and certifications: Ask if your movers has any certifications. For international moves, FIDI is the gold standard.
Ask about Insurance: Make sure you are covered in the event of any damage, anywhere in the moving process. Your mover can help you arrange insurance so be sure to ask about this important point.
Request a detailed quote: Read the quote carefully and be sure to ask about anything that is not clear. Doing this can help you avoid last minute surprises.
Understand the moving process: Ask questions about the packing, transporting, and delivery of your belongings. Ensure that it aligns with your expectations. Be clear on what services are – and are not – included.
Ask about storage: Where are their facilities? Are they climate controlled? What are the costs to store goods? Are storage facilities secure and well-maintained?
Check the company’s customer service level by contacting them with questions and concerns, and assess their responsiveness and professionalism.
Obtain a written contract that outlines all the terms and conditions of the moving agreement, and that you understand and agree to all the terms. Be persistent; ask questions until you are clear and comfortable with the agreement.
Trust your instincts: Choose a moving company that you feel comfortable with. Confidence is important so trust your gut.
