Expert Movers in Oyster Bay, NY

Timely preparation is the key ingredient to a successful international move. You should contact your international mover approximately seven to 10 weeks prior to your intended date of departure. This will allow sufficient time to confirm documentation requirements, pre-book international transportation services and pre-advise the destination agent of the forthcoming international shipment.

Always use new packing boxes and materials. Never use old or pre-used boxes to ship your items! Old supermarket boxes may cost nothing, but they are not well padded nor strong enough to withstand international shipping, and will often be responsible for damage to your items.

Your boxes should be loaded in reverse order of need. That means the last boxes you load should be the first boxes you need to unpack upon arrival at your destination. Always read your inventory forms very closely, and identify anything you do not understand as a question to be answered by our overseas shipping team leader. Always write down your Shipment Registration #, and ensure your Bill of Landing is easily accessible. You have the responsibility of making sure that all of your items are loaded, so we request for you to please remain on site until loading is complete. Always take a final look around the site for any items left behind. Never sign release forms without completing your final site check.
