- FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that planning an international move can feel overwhelming. Our FAQ section provides clear answers to common questions about customs, shipping timelines, pricing, and logistics. Learn how our experienced team ensures your belongings are packed, transported, and delivered safely no matter where in the world you’re moving.
How far in advance should I start planning my international move?
It’s best to start planning your international move about three to four months in advance. This gives enough time to arrange shipping, complete customs paperwork, and organize travel details. Early planning also helps you get the best rates and ensures your belongings arrive when you need them.
Can I pack my own items, or does the moving company need to do it?
You can pack your own belongings, but most customers choose professional packing services. Movers use specialized materials and methods designed to protect items during long-distance and overseas transport. If you pack yourself, make sure to use sturdy boxes and detailed labeling to help with customs clearance.
How can I estimate my international moving costs before booking?
You can request a pre-move survey from a moving company. They’ll assess the items you plan to ship and provide an estimated volume in cubic feet or cubic meters. From there, they can calculate a more accurate cost based on the shipping route, method, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or customs clearance.
What happens if my shipment is delayed during transit?
Delays can occasionally happen due to customs inspections, weather, or transport schedules. If that occurs, your moving coordinator will keep you updated and provide an estimated delivery timeline. Many companies also offer temporary storage solutions to keep your items safe until delivery can be completed.
Do I need insurance for my international move?
Yes, it’s highly recommended to have insurance for international moves. Even with professional handling, long-distance transport can expose shipments to risks like rough seas or handling errors. Insurance protects your belongings and offers peace of mind in case of damage or loss.
What items are restricted or prohibited when moving internationally?
Certain items like hazardous materials, perishable foods, and some plants or animals are restricted in international shipments. Adams Morgan Movers helps identify these items and ensures compliance with each country’s regulations. This guidance prevents customs issues and keeps your move smooth, so you know in advance what can and cannot be included in your shipment.
Do I need to be present for pickup or delivery overseas?
You or a designated representative should be present at pickup. For delivery, some destinations allow authorized agents to receive your shipment on your behalf.
