If We Fly, How Will the Car Get There?

While this may not be a common issue for civilians, it can be for those attached to the military or Department of Defense in some way. It is good to know that your vehicle will be in safe hands. Your international moving company should have a consultant asking you the right questions. A J.H. Bennett consultant will be the right person to deal with. You will be asked the right questions and your move will be explained in a way that will leave little doubt that you have the right mover and not a rogue mover.

Some of the things you will be asked:
  • Will you be packing any of the cartons, or will the mover do them all. Perhaps it will be a joint venture.
  • Will you require any assistance disconnecting your appliances? It the move is local or intrastate, will you need assistance reconnecting.
  • Is there valuable artwork or other items that will require special handling? Perhaps some items will need to have their own crate.
  • Are you driving your vehicle and/or boat to the new location? If not will you need our moving company to handle the process?
  • What is your planned moving date?
  • Will there be an extended period between your moving date and your arrival at your new destination?
Knowing international shipping regulations will allow your international moving company to handle transport of your vehicle competently and legally. Can you imagine the disappointment when you find out your vehicle is lost somewhere between your starting point and your destination? This would not be good.

The knowledge of interstate moving as well as international moving will give you the best service a mover can give. Be aware that not all movers have the ability. Not all movers are quality or reliable businesses. If the company does not do an inspection in your current location, your antenna should go up. All of your items are not covered by the companies insurance. If they claim that they are, you should ask for a copy of a booklet titled "Your Rights and Responsibilities When you Move". This booklet is required by federal regulations. You should not have to pay a large deposit before the move begins.

Shop wisely and have a safe move.
