If you're going to hire a moving company

• Note that the quotes you will receive are always approximate. If you show interest they will send a technician home for the final assessment. It would take into account not only the total volume of which is to move but also many other aspects such as the number of workers needed, the form of access to housing, the lift or the width of the stairs.
• Some companies offer independent services, which can save if you decide to do it yourself, like packaging or assembly and disassembly of furniture. If you are flexible on dates also you would get profit sharing moving well with other clients or choosing dates valley or low season.
• It is imperative that the company you choose meets the requirements of law for the sector, which is registered in the corresponding municipal register and to have a liability insurance and freight. It is worth reviewing if not registered in major industry associations and federations.
• You are entitled to a written contract, better contract-type approved, which clearly specify the type of service and all necessary details: date, place, safe, complete inventory, price and compensation.
• If your belongings are valuable you can weigh the desirability of additional insurance to increase the amount of compensation in case they become damaged. In any case it is convenient to take pictures of the state before moving to reclaim if necessary.
• If the end of the transfer you find damage externally perceived, should be reflected at the same time in the inventory that the carrier will make you sign. If they are otherwise and are not seen with the naked eye, you should know that the consumer has 24 hours to claim in writing to the company.
• In any case always it requires bill at the end of the service, along with inventory, contract and the photos would be your guarantee for any eventuality.

Prepare an International Relocation

• An international move involves minimal preparation of 2 or 3 months prior to the exit .The first step is to choose a international moving company. Feel free to request several quotes to compare prices and, of course, the services offered.
• For a budget this well done, it is imperative that the removal company made a technical visit to his home. The visit will be conducted by a technician, who thereafter will become your only interlocutor. The visit allows to calculate the volume and select objects and furniture to be transported.
• International moving requires a number of specific skills, as the company has to know how to coordinate an operation in which different entities, such as the transitional link and abroad involved. You also have to know the peculiarities of destination and take care of all customs formalities. For these reasons, you must choose a professional company with experience in international removals. FAIM certification (International Mudancero accredited by the FIDI) issued by the FIDI (International Federation of International removal men) guarantees the technical competence and seriousness of the removal company.
• For reasons of cost, preference is often given to transport by ship rather than by air, which rarely is used. Delivery times are variable and can become very long.
• In the case of expatriate executives, it is the company where they work that usually take care of the move, as the service is included in the pack expatriation. In this case your entire expatriate takes him home. Usually silo appliances are grounded, for reasons of volume and electrical standards.
• Finally, you have to be aware that it could negotiate better rates if you move in low season for movers, ie outside the summer months and the end of the year.

What to do after moving house?

• When the moving truck has reached its destination, the second part of the work begins: unpacking, unpacking, reassembling furniture and place them in the new home. A job really cumbersome, because it is doing the same as we had done days before, but in reverse.
• First, we will draw things moving truck carefully. Perhaps, in removals, some goods may have been moved. There is even something that may have been broken. In that case, do not worry: moving insurance will take care of everything.
• Once removed all packages and goods truck, we place them in the other house. As we have labeling each box with the things that are inside, not each package will be difficult to stay in the match: the dishes in the kitchen, laundry in the rooms, bath things in the bathroom.
• Obviously, the most complicated be reassembling furniture. It is therefore desirable to have made a sketch of the housing, knowing ahead of time where you would go every wardrobe, table, sofa, furniture, etc. That will prevent us from doing extra work, if the furniture does not fit in the place we had originally thought.
• The work may last longer or less, depending on household size and number of packages to unpack. As in the first phase of moving (the pack), you have to be patient and think that, sooner or later, everything was over and we will be installed without problems.

• Update all your official documents: ID card, licenses, and so on.
• Insurance company. If you have home insurance, you must perform a new policy, according to the new house and its location. Just as life insurance, automobile, and so on.
• Cancela hiring utilities (electricity, water, gas, telephone). We must cancel the current service delivery and hire new housing. If deposits existed for contract services, we must demand repayment.
• Medical services. When changing city, it is advisable to ask for referrals to the doctor and dentist also transfer prescriptions, optical and others. You also need to obtain medical records and birth certificates.
• Make sure that the new housing is in a position for comfortable use. Performing preventive maintenance of pipes, electrical installations and others.
• At home, carefully clean up the refrigerator and will be sure not to transport foods that are not able. The same we do with the kitchen and air-conditioners, extractors and others.
