How far in advance should I plan an international move?

Where possible, begin planning several weeks or months before your intended departure. The ideal timeframe depends on your destination, shipment size, documentation requirements and whether pets or vehicles are included.

Should I ship my belongings by air or sea?

Air freight is generally faster and can work well for smaller or time-sensitive shipments. Sea freight is typically better suited to larger household moves. Our team can help determine the most appropriate option for your relocation.
