What to Expect When Moving to Germany

NY International Shipping is sure that you will find Germany’s terrain (filled with mountains, shores and forests) to be just as varied as the wide range of large cities and small, rural villages. A country with a rich history, Germany has many strict resident and visa requirements. NY International Shipping suggests that you contact the German Consulate in your area to learn more. Make sure you do this at the beginning stages of planning moving to Germany as it can take some time to get everything approved and in order. If you are moving to Germany you are probably already aware of the wide range of writers and composers that have come from Germany. Germany is also a leader in the automobile industry, best known for bringing BMW and Mercedes to the rest of the world.

Finding the Right Overseas Moving Company for Moving to Germany

There are many different aspects to take into consideration when organizing moving to Germany, which is why NY International Shipping is going to help you to identify the most desirable characteristics in an overseas moving company. Also, we will discuss how to compare prospective companies effectively.

In general, reliable, experienced overseas moving companies should offer international relocation as their sole or primary service. Do not choose a company that offers in-state or nationwide moving services with overseas moving on the side. Moving to Germany is a delicate and intricate process; you want to go with an overseas moving company that knows the ins and outs of international moving. Also, find a company that is appropriately licensed, bonded and insured. Reputable overseas moving companies should be licensed as an NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) by the Federal Maritime Commission or FMC, licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and possess appropriately licensed and bonded warehouses. You may also want to check and see what organizations each overseas moving company is affiliated with or a member of. Companies that are well-established and networked within the overseas moving industry should hold affiliations with related organizations.

When comparing overseas moving companies you should do the following:

1. Ask for referrals from past clients. Established overseas moving companies should have referrals from satisfied clients they have serviced in the past.
2. Check third-party review sites that allow past clients to rate and review companies and their services. This will give you an honest look at how each company really treats their clients.
3. Visit each company’s brick and mortar office, never dealing with a company that does not have one. This way you can see how the company handles customer service and their business in person.
4. Perform an apples-to-apples comparison of the top overseas moving companies you are considering. You can do this by comparing quotes from the overseas moving companies you are considering using the exact same shipping method to ship the same volume from and to the same destinations.
