2 simple steps
Moving overseas means coordinating more than collection and delivery. Your destination, inventory and travel plans shape the shipment arrangements, and the receiving country's requirements need attention before anything is dispatched. Start with these details so the moving scope is clear from the beginning.
Make an inventory of furniture, appliances, cartons and personal effects. Consider what will be useful at the destination and what you will carry yourself. Flag valuable, fragile or unusual items for individual discussion.
Keep passports, travel documents, medicines and immediate essentials separate. Do not pack an item simply because it was accepted on a previous domestic move; international acceptance can differ.
Tell us your pickup city in India, overseas destination, household item list and preferred timing.
Discuss assessment, packing needs and the information required for your proposed destination. Confirm the services available for your move.
Review the quotation, transport arrangements and responsibilities at both ends before confirming your booking.
Complete the packing and documentation agreed for your shipment. Discuss destination requirements before the goods are dispatched.
Confirm the proposed delivery arrangements and any unloading or unpacking services included at the destination.
Confirm the services, responsibilities and proposed arrangements in your quotation before booking.
Discuss Your RequirementsDiscuss the transport options available for your destination and inventory. Ask whether the quotation covers origin collection, packing, shipment, destination handling and final delivery, or only selected stages.
Check the distinction between an estimated transit period and a complete door-to-door schedule. Documentation, clearance and destination appointments can affect when belongings reach the property.
Ask for a destination-specific document checklist and confirm who will review it. Requirements depend on the shipment and destination; there is no single paperwork list that fits every international move.
For help understanding the coordination involved, see our customs clearance service. Confirm duties, taxes and any destination charges separately before accepting the final quotation.
Provide a receiving contact, address and building-access details. Tell the team if the property will not be ready so storage or a revised delivery arrangement can be discussed.
Check which unpacking or reassembly tasks are included at the destination. Keep the inventory and shipment paperwork accessible throughout the move.
