Moving House Furniture Overseas

Moving House Furniture OverseasOften when people plan to move abroad, they want to take their furniture with them – until they find out just how costly shipping it overseas can be. Unless your furniture is a valuable antique or heirloom or has deep sentimental value, relocation experts advise that it’s best to sell it before you leave. That’s because shipping furniture abroad will likely be more expensive than buying new furniture. Plus, you need to be certain that your new residence in your destination country has the space or layout to accommodate your furniture. On the positive side, you can use the money from the sale to buy new furnishings.

If you’ve decided to have your furniture shipped overseas, it’s best to hire an international moving company. You may be able to arrange the shipment yourself, but the process can be complicated. An experienced international moving company can save you time and stress by:

  • Determining the most cost-effective method of shipping your furniture, whether by boat or airfreight
  • Properly packing your furniture to protect it from damage on the overseas journey
  • Clearing your furniture through customs efficiently

The international mover you choose should also be able to transport your furniture from the destination port to your new residence, unload your furniture there, and place it where you want it.
