How to Plan Your International Move
The first step to a successful international move is to plan ahead. The earlier you start, the easier it will be to address any issues or surprises that may arise. Here are some things you should do at least six months before your move:
- Research your destination country. Learn about the culture, customs, laws, and regulations of your new country. Find out what documents, permits, visas, and vaccinations you will need to enter and live in the country. You can consult an immigration professional or visit the official website of the embassy or consulate of your destination country for more information.
- Contact Insta Move Cargo. Get in touch with us and let us know your moving details, such as your destination country, your moving date, and your moving budget. We will provide you with a free quote and a free survey of your belongings. We will also help you with the proper customs forms and paperwork to legally ship your items to your new country.
- Compare quotes and services. Compare our quote and services with other international moving companies. Make sure you compare the prices, terms, and conditions of each company. You will find that Insta Move Cargo offers the best value for your money, with no hidden fees or charges. You will also find that Insta Move Cargo offers a comprehensive and customized service, tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
- Choose Insta Move Cargo. Once you have compared the quotes and services, choose Insta Move Cargo as your international moving partner. We will confirm your booking and provide you with a contract and an invoice. We will also assign you a personal moving coordinator, who will guide you through the entire moving process and answer any questions you may have along the way.
How to Prepare Your International Move
The next step to a successful international move is to prepare your belongings and yourself for the move. Here are some things you should do at least one month before your move:
- Sort out your belongings. Decide what items you want to take with you, what items you want to store, and what items you want to sell or donate. You can use our free survey as a reference to estimate the volume and weight of your shipment. Remember that the more items you ship, the higher the cost and the longer the transit time will be. You can also use our storage and painting solutions to store your items safely and securely, or to transform your home or office with professional painting services.
- Pack your belongings. You can choose to pack your belongings yourself, or you can let us do it for you. If you pack yourself, make sure you use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and labels. You can also purchase packing materials from us at a reasonable price. If you let us pack for you, you can rest assured that we will use high-quality packing materials and techniques to protect your items from damage, loss, or theft. We will also label and inventory your boxes for easy identification and tracking.
- Prepare your documents. Make sure you have all the necessary documents for your move, such as your passport, visa, permit, vaccination certificate, insurance policy, and customs forms. You can also make copies of your documents and keep them in a safe place. You can also scan your documents and store them online or on a flash drive. You should also keep your documents handy and accessible during your move, as you may need to present them at various checkpoints.
- Notify relevant parties. Inform your bank, employer, utility providers, insurance company, and other relevant parties about your move. You should also cancel or transfer your subscriptions, memberships, and contracts. You should also update your address and contact information with your friends, family, and other contacts. You can also use our mail forwarding service to forward your mail to your new address.
How to Execute Your International Move
The final step to a successful international move is to execute your move smoothly and safely. Here are some things you should do on the day of your move and after your arrival:
- On the day of your move. Make sure you are ready for the arrival of our movers. Have your boxes packed, labeled, and sealed. Have your documents and valuables in your hand or hold luggage. Have your keys and access codes ready. Have some cash and snacks on hand. Check your inventory and sign the bill of lading. Say goodbye to your old home and get ready for your new adventure.
- After your arrival. Once you arrive at your destination country, clear the customs and immigration procedures. Collect your luggage and contact us to confirm your delivery address and date. We will deliver your shipment to your new home or office, and help you with the unpacking and assembly of your items. We will also remove the packing materials and debris. Check your inventory and sign the delivery receipt. Enjoy your new home and your new country.
