How to Find the Right Overseas Moving Company

With so many companies claiming to offer international moving services, how can you decide which is best for you? As a reliable overseas moving company, NY International Shipping knows what it takes to deserve your business. The first thing may want to determine is whether or not the companies you are considering are properly licensed, insured and bonded. Any legitimate overseas moving company should be licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) as well as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, as NY International Shipping is. Also, if the international moving company owns a warehouse you should make sure that it is properly insured and bonded, too. Next, check each international moving company’s referrals. If a company is providing excellent services they should have proof in the form of referrals or testimonials from previous clients. Also, try looking each company up on third-party review websites that allow past clients to rate companies based on their past experiences. Past clients’ experiences should be able to give you a good idea about how much each overseas moving company actually delivers on the claims they make. When analyzing these different international relocation companies, check to see who they’re affiliated with. You want a company that is affiliated with the right organizations, like NY International Shipping is.
Organizations such as:

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)

Finally, when it comes to comparing rates make sure you do it accurately by using apples-to-apples comparison. This is a simple method. Simply get quotes from every company by using the same shipping volume, shipping service, point of origin and destination. By using the exact same factors for each, you will be able to get an accurate view of how they stack up against each other. Keep in mind, cheaper is not always better. When shipping your goods while moving to New Zealand, you want to make sure you have a company you can trust that offers all of the services you need to get your shipment to your new destination.

What to Expect When Moving to New Zealand

New Zealand, which consists primarily of two large islands called the North and South Islands, is a forward thinking country that offers institutions such as free healthcare and education. When moving to New Zealand it’s good to know that there is a difference in environments between the North Island and South Island. The North Island offers a mild, warm climate while the South Island, due to the Southern Alps, is much colder and sees a significant rain fall. The Southern Alps are certainly something to see and experience if possible after moving to New Zealand, running for nearly 300 miles along the island. With a population of nearly 4 million, the vast majority of New Zealand’s residents live in cities. The country’s currency is the New Zealand Dollar or the NZD. You may be interested to know that approximately half of the land in New Zealand is occupied by rolling hills and fields. It’s no wonder that farms with cattle and sheep are prevalent in these areas. Though New Zealand has wonderful cities, such as Wellington (the capital), when moving to New Zealand you can expect to partake in many outdoor activities due to the prevalence of beautiful landscapes, forests thick with natural wildlife, multitude of national parks and lovely climate. If moving to New Zealand you should keep in mind that you will be required to attain a visa. There are several different kinds with different criteria. Contact your local consulate to determine how to apply. Make sure to leave yourself plenty of time before moving to New Zealand!
