What a Reliable Overseas Moving Company Looks Like
Looking beyond the advertisements and marketing jargon, what makes an honest, trustworthy international moving company right to use when moving to Hong Kong? To start, a reliable overseas moving company will not only offer international moving, but specialize in international moving. Moving to Hong Kong is not a simple transport from city to city or even state to state. Moving to Hong Kong requires a great deal of industry knowledge, coordination and the right connections/networking in order to successfully transport your household goods from your current home to your new home overseas. Once you’ve established that a company specializes solely in overseas moving, ask them for referrals from past clients. A company that provides constant customer satisfaction should have referrals from past clients to attest to their performance. You should also consider taking a trip out to the brick and mortar office of any overseas moving companies that you are considering. This will allow you to verify that they exist as a real company while also getting a firsthand glimpse at exactly how they handle their business. While there, you should verify that they are certified by the Federal Maritime Commission as an NVOCC and ask what organizations they are affiliated with or members of. A professional overseas moving company that takes their work seriously should be well-connected within the industry. For example, NY International Shipping is affiliated with or members of the following organizations:
Employee Relocation Council/Worldwide ERC®
Foreign Commerce Club of New York
IAM (International Association of Movers)
NY/NJ Foreign Freight Forwarders & Brokers Association Inc.
YP 25 (Young International Movers)
Comparing Overseas Moving Rates
The best way to compare rates from multiple overseas moving companies before moving to Hong Kong is to use apples-to-apples comparison. You can accomplish this by getting quotes from all of the international moving companies you are considering using identical criteria—same shipping volume, shipping services, point of origin and destination. This will allow you to compare the quotes side by side accurately. Keep in mind that just because a company is cheaper, does not make it better. Make sure that whatever company you choose provides excellence in service as well as reasonable rates. If you find that a company fits your needs but is a bit out of your budget, consider choosing a less expensive shipping method with them or reducing the total volume of your shipment. At least this way you know that whatever you ship will make it to your new home safely when moving to Hong Kong.
What to Expect When Moving to Hong Kong
Hong Kong, a major metropolis in China, has a booming economy that attracts international visitors for a broad spectrum of reasons—tourists, businessmen, performers, etc. Hong Kong has also become a pillar in the global financial industry, attracting businesses and businessmen worldwide. Though Chinese is the primary language spoken in China, English is widely spoken throughout Hong Kong, making it relatively simple for anyone moving to Hong Kong from overseas to get around until he or she can learn Chinese fluently. Hong Kong offers a wide variety of things to do—historical sites, restaurants, clubs, businesses, entertainment, etc. As Hong Kong is located at the seam where Eastern culture meets Western culture, you will be able to find a melting pot of foods as well as cultural influences. Whether you want to eat traditional Chinese food or more familiar cuisine after moving to Hong Kong, you will be able to find a restaurant to cater to your taste. NY International Shipping reminds you that you will need to apply for a visa prior to moving to Hong Kong. Contact your local Hong Kong Consulate to learn more about the visa types available as well as the process to apply. Give yourself plenty of time prior to moving to Hong Kong to have your visa process as it can sometimes be a time consuming procedure.
