We assume total responsibility for your international move all through … The Moving Process Take a look at the steps you can depend on us taking: FREE Ballpark Pricing With an international move, particularly, you’ll surely feel you need as fast and accurate a number as possible regarding what you’ll be billed for such a move. Give us a call. Talk with us. Inform us where you’ve got to go, when you want or need to go, and what kind of a move you’d need us to perform for you. Referring to our vast experience with global moving, we’ll present you with a free ballpark estimate. This might or might not be the final price. Additional discussion with you will help resolve that. But at least you’ll have a reasonable idea of what to expect, finance-wise, before committing to us. The Home Survey To achieve a final, accurate estimate of your move’s cost, we have to conduct a survey of the possessions you’ll be transporting. We provide two options for taking care of this: A A-1 Freeman Moving Group estimator gives you a visit to review numerous features of your move, perform a walk-through of your home, and take that inventory of your belongings. With your mobile phone, you link directly with our estimator and handle your own home walk-through, recording a video inventory of what you need transported. The Written Estimate After initially talking with you and analyzing your Home Survey results, we can offer a more precise, written estimate of your international moving costs. It comprises everything associated with your move, including which moving services of ours you’ve picked. The Customer Agreement This is your move contract, which confirms locations, move dates and times, the moving services you’ve selected, safety and insurance provisions, what you’ll pay, and other matters. Signing it attests that you consent to our terms and pricing and permits us to book your move. The Move Plan To make sure you have an international move that’s smooth, safe, and headache-free, we assign you a Move Concierge – your very own, exclusive representative and counselor. He or she will help you plan your move from start to finish. In your introductory get-together, your Move Concierge will … affirm your move dates, establish the addresses involved locally and in the country to which you’re relocating, affirm which of our services you want, offer precursory guidance in what you can anticipate happening in your move, and answer your questions. From now until we get you moved and settled in your new country, your Move Concierge is your A-1 Freeman Moving Group “one point of contact.” You can depend on him or her being fully conversant with the difficulties of international and advising you properly – particularly on customs laws from one country to another. Along with providing useful information on your specific destination country, he or she also can assist you with ... passports, visas, automobile titles, and all other essential international paperwork. Then, as the move proceeds, your Move Concierge will keep you fully up to date on what’s happening with it. The Pre-Move Confirmation As your move date advances, we’ll email or call you to confirm that you’re still “good to go” with it, according to plan. We’ll confirm dates, times, locations, and everything else associated with your establising a new home in a new country. Packing Our packing options are offered to better match your needs and budget. Opt to handle all the packing by yourself; if you like, we’ll send you the packing materials. Opt to let our movers help you pack. Or Opt to initiate the packing yourself and permit us to help you by packing specialty items. Whatever way you want your packing handled, you can be confident we’re well up to speed on foreign customs laws and will see to it that your shipments are in full compliance. That includes seeing to it that packed possessions are loaded into the appropriate overseas shipping containers, as necessary. Loading When the truck and crew arrive at your stateside home, they’ll introduce themselves and perform a walk-through, to get acquainted with your house and the items you’re freighting. Next, they’ll perform certain actions to safeguard your home while the move-out is underway. They’ll pad stair rails, tight corners, doors and jambs. And they’ll place carpet covers to keep floors from getting soiled and carpets from snagging, especially in high-traffic areas . In loading your possessions onto the truck, our crew will make sure moving boxes are marked and inventoried by room to aid in their placement in your new home. Beds, entertainment centers, swing sets and whatever else needs disassembling will be meticulously torn down by our crew at this time. Finally, our crew conducts quality checks and keeps in communication with your Move Concierge all through the loading process. Delivery After we’ve gotten your belongings safely to your new home in your destination country, our crews get it unloaded with extreme care. Prime features of our destination-country delivery services are … the use of protection pads and carpet covers to ensure that your new home remains pristine while we’re moving you in, systematic unloading – setting your possessions into the rooms you want them in, at your direction, putting back together those things that were taken apart for the move, unpacking – simply notify us; we’ll do it, and debris removal – where, if you want, we’ll dispose of all the empty moving boxes and supplies after the unpacking.
