If you’re planning an overseas relocation, choosing the right international movers is essential. The process involves more than simply packing and shipping. It includes managing customs, coordinating logistics, and ensuring your belongings arrive safely at your new destination.
This guide explains how to choose an international moving company you can rely on, and what makes Galilee Movers a trusted name in cross-border relocations.
A qualified international mover should manage the entire process from start to finish. These services include:
Make sure the company you choose can provide an end-to-end solution, not just handle the pickup or shipping stages.
When selecting an international moving company, consider the following:
1. Licensed Customs Brokers
Companies with in-house customs brokers can clear goods faster, reduce errors, and prevent costly delays.
2. Flexible Shipping Options
Look for movers that offer both groupage (shared container) and full container load (FCL) services, so you only pay for the space you use.
3. Transparent Pricing
A trustworthy company will provide a clear, all-inclusive quote. This should cover packing, freight, customs clearance, and delivery.
4. Experience and Reputation
Check online reviews, ask for references, and look for real examples of completed international moves.
5. Responsive Communication
Good movers keep you informed throughout the process, provide clear instructions, and respond quickly to questions or changes.
Depending on the size of your move, you’ll typically choose between two shipping methods:
Groupage Shipping
This option is ideal for smaller moves. Your goods share container space with other customers. It’s cost-effective and efficient for partial home relocations.
Full Container Load (FCL)
If you’re moving an entire household or shipping a vehicle, a dedicated container provides more space and direct shipping without consolidation delays.
At Galilee Movers, we offer both options with scheduled containers departing monthly to Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
Many international movers rely on third parties for customs or delivery. At Galilee Movers, we manage everything in-house for better control and peace of mind.
