Long international move

Long international move

Managing a move over a long period of time is always complicated. It takes a lot of organization, time, and especially good advice to succeed this step without problem. Here are some answers to guide you in this long process.

An international move over several months

Where to live during your move?

If your move is over a period of several months, it is likely that your next home is not immediately available … Do not panic if it is the case because there are different solutions to this problem

  • B & Bs and lodges: sites like bedandbreakfasts.com, airbnb.com, or bedycasa.com will help you find a homestay for rent.
  • You will find a place to live in a hostel in case you are a student.
  • Another solution is available to you, the hotel's apartment that can accommodate you if you are hurrying by time and want to be hosted in the city of your new home.

Where to store furniture during a move?

You have found accommodation, but you don’t know what to do with your furniture … The use of furniture storage will keep your goods safe.

There are two types of storage: in hangar, or container. The duration of the storage can vary depending on what you want for a few days, several months, or even years. However, once your goods are stored, you will not be able to have access to them for the duration of the storage. If you prefer to have access to your furniture when you want, there is the solution to “self-storage”. You take care of carting, transporting and organizing your storage space. Moving equipment and commercial vehicle rental offers are often proposed. The company only deals with the provision of boxes and handling equipment, as well as their supervision. The security of your property is ensured 24/7.

Compare the rates

Once your type of furniture storage selected, you must evaluate the need for storage of your furniture and finally compare the prices of several providers because the differences are sometimes important. Do not forget to add to the basic rate the price of the insurance, and possibly the administration fees and related services.

How to choose your moving boxes?

How to choose your moving boxes?

You are during preparing for a move and you are wondering whether you should buy new cartons or retrieve old boxes.
For more information do not hesitate to contact us, our experts will answer you quickly!

How do I have to pack my belongings?

If you use a mover, you do not have too many questions to ask yourself … the company you have chosen will certainly provide you with as many boxes as you like. On the other hand, if you have decided to move on your own, you will have to go to the “fishing” package. You can of course buy your boxes on an online sales site but well, it is intellectually, economically, and ecologically not very satisfactory to buy new while many stores around you will provide it.
On the other hand, if you retrieve already used cartons, you are not sure that they will resist the weight of their contents. If on the day of the move, you find your stuff spread on the street because the bottom of the cardboard has yielded, you will have just gained the cheerful and slightly cynical look of your neighbors.

Moving: what types of cardboard reuse?

Let’s start by specifying the cartons not to be reused:

  • Cartons that have lost their original shape: this is not a good sign
  • Cartons folded in all directions: they will not be rigid enough when you close them
  • Cartons with damaged corners: when you tap them, they risk breaking under the weight of your business
  • Wet cartons or moisture stains: they may get stuck
  • Cartons designed to transport light materials: beware of the boxes that are obtained from the grocer of the corner

Let’s go to the “regulatory” boxes:

  • Evidently cardboard in good condition
  • Cardboards which have been used for the transport of heavy goods such as books (libraries), bottles (wine shops) or paper reams (office supplies)
  • Old plastic bins that you could get from pharmacies
    Our ultimate advice if you have chosen the “recovery” solution.
  • Do not forget to close your cartons with large adhesive tape and to limit their weight to 20 to 30 kilos maximum.
  • Do not fill all your boxes the same day … it is not in the hurry that one works best.
  • If you have several cartons of the same family, fill one and transport it to measure its resistance.
  • Do not put more than 2 cartons on top of each other during the storage phase.
