Comparing International Moving Companies

Deciding on your international moving company can be a daunting task but choosing the right mover can make all the difference in the world. You need to choose a company who has the reputation, knowledge, expertise, and resources to take care of each detail.

Start Searching for an International Moving Company

To begin your review of international moving companies, be sure to find out how many moves the company has under its belt, and how many international offices it has. Allied has more than 500 agents in North America, offices in over 40 countries across Europe and Asia-Pacific and representatives in 135 more countries around the world.

Allied moves over 1,000 families a day, 365 days a year and manages more than 400,000 shipments annually. Can the other international moving companies say that?

Another consideration is the ability to easily track your shipment. Is the moving company able to track your possessions online throughout every stage of the move? Allied’s online shipment tracking service ensures that you will know where your belongings are throughout their overseas journey. By entering your shipment number in our online portal, you are one click away from knowing where your international shipment is at all times.

What to Ask a Company: Moving Specifics

Ask for references from customers each moving company has recently moved. All reputable international moving companies will have plenty of testimonials from satisfied customers. They will also have very few, if any, complaints through the Better Business Bureau.

Make sure the international moving companies are willing to assign you an experience move coordinator to supervise your move from start to finish. You don’t want to deal with a different employee at every stage the move and let something fall through the cracks. At Allied, we provide you with a personal move coordinator from the very beginning of your international move. This coordinator will be your only point of contact throughout your journey overseas, handling every last detail of your move.

Other Considerations for an International Moving Company

When you are choosing between international moving companies, be sure you understand a few basic things. First, be aware of the rates and charges that will apply to your move; not all international moving companies will be upfront about all the moving fees. Be certain of the mover’s liability for your belongings, the valuation coverage they offer and type of claims protection they have.

Should anything happen to your belongings during a move, this liability coverage is critical. Make sure that your moving company has a strong understanding of security notices and customs requirements regarding your shipment. Also, ask international moving companies how pickup and delivery will work. Though it seems very basic, on-time pickup and delivery is essential when traveling overseas.
