Many automobile movers and some moving companies now offer international shipping. If you are moving from New York to London, you’ll need to arrange for overseas shipping of your items.
Most international shippers work like regular commercial moving companies. They will pack your items and load them into crates so that they can be shipped overseas and meet Customs criteria. Most international shipping companies will also provide auto transport.
Moving costs for international shipping can be quite high, but that is because of all the work and liability involved with shipping your belongings such great distances. Before you decide on a moving company, get estimates from a few different companies so that you can compare services and prices.
Usually international movers will only have you pack unbreakable items and they will take care of packing breakables and furniture since they are trained in this area. Some overseas shippers will provide you with warehouse storage at no additional charge for up to 30 days prior to departure. There is also a lot of paper work involved in international shipping, so make sure your moving company alerts you to everything you'll need once your items get to their destination.
