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.

FAQ | Long international move

Is it advisable to relocate during the winter?

Moving out in the cold can have its drawbacks. First, since ice is a big concern, if you do it by yourself, it may take longer than it would have done in any other season. However, if you ask for a corporation, you could get a reasonable price, but it will take a little longer since there will be more obstacles. So it's a bit of a gamble, but you can always try.

How can I calculate the volume of my boxes?

In general, you'll know the volume of a cardboard box when you purchase it; just add it to the volume of your inboxed items, and you'll have a rough estimate. Now, when it comes to refrigerators and the like, you can look up the model number and see how much space they take up.

I need to relocate a few items; how can I do it on the cheap?

If you don't have any furniture, renting a truck isn't necessary as long as you have a vehicle to transport your boxes. It's just fine. However, if you need to move substantial items, such as a refrigerator, you'll almost certainly need to hire one.

I recently did some research on a new local moving business; can I trust it?

Try to gather a few pieces of information to check whether they're trustworthy; some companies provide excellent working conditions and may yet offer a competitive price. You are free to do so as long as you are satisfied with what they have to offer.

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.

FAQ | How to choose your moving boxes?

Is it possible for the shipper's address on the bill of lading to be in a different country?

An exporter is a person, corporation, or institution that has been granted permission by Customs and the government to ship merchandise to foreign nations. This person is also in charge of submitting the export declaration to the customs authorities. The exporter does not have to be the cargo's actual seller or the company that closes the agreement. Shipper = A person, corporation, or organization listed on all shipping papers (bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list) as the party in charge of sourcing and/or placing the cargo order, as well as maybe organizing freight payment, etc. It is not necessary for the shipper listed on the bill of lading to be a registered exporter. On a bill of lading, a freight forwarder might also be listed as the shipper. There are many multinational merchants situated all over the globe (say, London) shipping merchandise from one country (say, South Africa) to another (say, India), and the shipper on the bills of lading issued for such shipments might be the London trader.

What is the difference between a shipper and an exporter?

In basic words, an exporter is a person, corporation, or institution that has been granted permission by Customs and the government to ship merchandise to foreign nations. This person is also in charge of submitting the export declaration to the customs authorities. The exporter may or may not be the items' seller. Shipper = A person, corporation, or organization listed on all shipping papers (bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list) as the party in charge of sourcing and/or placing the cargo order, as well as maybe organizing freight payment, etc. The shipper listed on the bill of lading does not have to be a registered exporter and may or may not be the products' seller.

What exactly are the distinctions between Maritime, Shipping, Freight, Logistics, and Supply Chain?

Anything relating to the ocean, sea, ships, passage of ships from point A to point B, seafarers, ship ownership, and other related activities is referred to as the maritime industry. The act of transporting goods from point A to point B using ships is known as the shipping business, and it is part of the maritime sector. Freight is the cargo that is transported utilizing the shipping services provided by shipping lines employing ships in the maritime business. The activities involved in moving goods from the manufacturer's warehouse to the receiver's warehouse, including arranging for shipping services provided by shipping lines utilizing ships, are referred to as logistics services. Supply Chain = the granddaddy process that encompasses all parts of a product cycle, from raw material procurement through manufacture, packaging, distribution, and shelf placement, using all of the above-mentioned industries, enterprises, and services. The core economic idea of trade is the buying and selling of products and services, with a buyer compensating a seller, or the exchange of goods or services between parties.

Should the Shipped on Board Date stamp be signed?

There is no need to sign separately if a credit requires a signed shipped on board date and the shipping line states that the bill of loading has been signed, thus the shipped on board must be regarded signed as well.
