As movers, we understand the complexities of relocating to a new country and are dedicated to handling every logistical detail. Our comprehensive services are designed to manage your entire move from start to finish, providing a single, reliable point of contact for your journey abroad.
International Moving Without Stress
Since 2007, we’ve been helping families like yours make smooth international moves to homes around the world. When you’re relocating your entire life across borders, you need more than just a transportation company – you need international movers who understand the emotional journey too.
The International Moving Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
Phase 1: Pre-Move Planning
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation where we discuss your specific needs, timeline, and budget. Our move coordinator will then conduct a comprehensive in-home or virtual survey to create a detailed, itemized quote. During this phase, we also provide a detailed checklist to help you prepare crucial documents, such as your passport, visa, and a list of items to be moved.Phase 2: The Packing Day
On the scheduled day, our highly trained team arrives to meticulously pack your belongings using industry-leading materials. We create a comprehensive inventory list and label every box to ensure nothing is overlooked. For high-value or fragile items, we provide specialized crating to guarantee their safety during transit.Phase 3: Transit & Customs
Once your belongings are packed and loaded, we manage all transportation logistics, including secure loading and dispatch to the port of origin. We then handle all customs clearance procedures at both the origin and destination, providing you with a single point of contact. This proactive approach sets us apart from other international moving companies and minimizes the risk of delays.Phase 4: Final Delivery
Upon arrival in your new country, our trusted destination agents will receive your shipment, clear it through customs, and schedule the final delivery. We will unload and place all items into your new home, and even assist with unpacking and debris removal upon request.
Customs & Regulations: What You Need to Know
Customs clearance is one of the most critical aspects of a successful international move. Navigating complex and ever-changing import regulations can be a significant source of stress, but with Presto Logistics, our team of experts handles the entire process. Unlike some international relocation moving companies, we act as your trusted customs broker. We assist with preparing and submitting all required documentation to ensure compliance and a smooth entry for your goods.
We will help you prepare crucial paperwork, which typically includes:
- A Power of Attorney (POA), allowing us to act on your behalf.
- A detailed, itemized packing list that matches your belongings.
- A commercial invoice outlining the value of your goods.
- Your passport, visa, and other residency documents to prove your eligibility to import.
- A signed Declaration of Value for insurance purposes.
- The Bill of Lading, which serves as your shipment’s contract and receipt.
We meticulously review every document to ensure accuracy, as even a minor error can lead to significant delays, fees, or even the seizure of your belongings. Our goal is to ensure a completely compliant and seamless entry for your household goods into your new country, providing you with peace of mind.
Shipping Options: Air vs. Sea Freight
We offer a variety of shipping options to meet your timeline and budget. Sea freight is the most cost-effective solution for larger household goods and is a favorite among many international movers. For those with time-sensitive shipments, our air freight service provides a much faster, though more expensive, option. We will help you select the ideal method and container size, from a 20ft or 40ft container to a shared space, to best suit your needs.
Storage Solutions
Sometimes, your move-out and move-in dates don’t align perfectly. Our international movers provide flexible and secure storage solutions to bridge the gap. We offer both short-term and long-term storage in our climate-controlled and highly secure facilities at both your origin and destination. This service ensures your belongings are kept safe until you are ready to receive them, providing flexibility in your moving timeline.
Moving with Pets
As experienced international relocation movers, we know that pets are family. That’s why we provide a detailed, compassionate guide to help you move your pets safely and comfortably. We assist with understanding destination-specific requirements, including necessary veterinary records, import permits, and proper travel kennel specifications, ensuring your pet’s journey is as stress-free as your own.
