MOVING TIPS

If you've moved internationally many times before...

You know more or less what to do, and you know what to avoid. For one thing, you know better than to automatically fall for the „Global Brand” solution. Maybe you learned the hard way. Personal effects are not commodities, and each move is as different as every family and their different possessions. No single” Global Brand” can provide a single solution globally. Moving is just not that simple. You need a mover that is right for you, and your move. – And remember how the „Working spouse” tends to be on a business trip during the moving process!

If you have not moved before...

Planning your move:

Try to plan early. It is not always possible these days. Good moving companies should have the size and the local resources to handle your move at short notice. Think from the destination backwards. Start if possible trying to understand what needs to happen in your new home country. Choose your new home, new schools. How big are the homes? Will storage be necessary? What about work permits? Once you have an idea what has to happen at destination you are better placed to make plans for the move out. Remember Summertime is the busiest moving season, especially after schools close for the Summer holidays. Make sure your mover has the professional packers to cope with the high season.

Choosing your moving company:

Don’t rely on advertising. Ask your friends and neighbors for references. Get 3 three quotations from reputable companies (make sure they do a physical or video survey of the items to be moved) and compare quotes „apple-to-apple”. Did they all estimate the same volume/weight? Is one cheaper because they underestimated the volume/weight? Are they all providing the same services? Ask for, and check references. Do they have international moving experience? Importantly – who is going to perform the delivery services at destination? Beware of the „Global Brand” solution. Just because they claim to have their own office at destination, does not mean it is a good office. But they have to use it – because they are the same company. Make sure the mover at destination is the best possible choice to do the job.

In conclusion, take the choice seriously. Remember: The bigger the family, the bigger the move, the bigger the need for a better moving service. We at Universal Express believe we provide the best of both worlds – excellent and wide-ranging services at origin, along with the assurance of the most professional services from our hand-picked, performance driven colleagues at destination. Like you, we have choice, and can choose the best at destination.
