As our global economy continues to grow, more families and companies are relocating abroad. Moving internationally holds a lot of appeal for many people; living in another country brings the promise of opportunity and a fresh start. There are many challenges involved with deciding to move internationally, such as navigating the international housing market to find the perfect new home, learning about another culture, and saying goodbye to your current friends. Once you’ve conducted all the necessary research and completed your to-do list, all that’s left to do is physically move to your new home. Moving is already stressful to begin with, but moving to another country is an entirely different experience than local and interstate moving. An international move requires a lot of logistic planning and preparation, with everything from passport acquisition to understanding shipping costs and everything in between. All of these extra necessary steps can make the international moving process seem overwhelming. At Woodland Moving and Warehouse, we believe that despite the extra work that goes into moving internationally, the process should be straightforward, exciting, and fun from start to finish. This is why we are proud to offer full-scale residential, corporate, and government international moving services in West Hartford.

On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment
is traveling.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a truck, it is often necessary
for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully
sectioned off from the others.
With the help of computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates
are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the trucks,
as well as shipment weight.
