The first thing I would recommend is reading our Guide to International Shipping which you can find by clicking the embedded link. The second thing I would recommend is take a look on the left side of this page and you'll find an "International Moving Companies" section of our endorsed movers list. ...

Hi Karibare, I so wish you had found us beforehand. It sounds like you’ve just been hit by the classic scam, and there are several steps you can take, none of them guaranteeing you’ll get the outcome you want, but obviously we need to try.

As is often the case, "Cheap" and "Good" don't go well together. As I'm looking at the web site for the company you mentioned, I found the DOT#: 1612058. However, when I plug that number into the FMCSA's Consumer Website I get nothing back. This means that either a) they are not licensed to perform ...

Hi Cheenook, I'm not an expert in International shipping, but am familiar with Atlas and United international movers. Both should be able to do well for you. I haven't heard of the third company, but that doesn't mean they aren't good, it just means they haven't been mentioned much here. I'm hoping ...

I'm sorry I didn't get back sooner, I'm working a couple of jobs right now and my time has been more limited than I would like. So where does this stand right now? Do you have your belongings? If not, start figuring out hwo many days until delivery. They have at max 30 days for delivery from time of...

Unfortunately, your bill of lading is your contract, and the "standard" coverage is for .60 cents per lb. it's a common tactic used by scam artists to talk you out of the coverage, as they may not even have the insurance, or the ability to cover your belongings through valuation protection. I'm real...

Moved topic to "Report a Scam". The reality is that you may not see any reimbursement for the damages they've done. Your best bet is to take them to small claims court and see if you can recoup any losses. Were they licensed and insured? If so, their insurance may cover the claims, but you'll have t...

Hoping I've caught you before your things were loaded! I would run away from this deal. Not walk, RUN! Half down is a HUGE deposit and a big red flag. The fact that they started low and kept creeping up is also another warning sign. I would point you to our Red Flags article to see if you recognize ...

Hi ByeByeBoston, I can answer a few of your questions off the bat, but hoping one of the pros can come by and help you with the rest. We have always recommended a "Binding-Not-To-Exceed" Quote from your moving company. This way, no matter what happens you will only pay the quoted amount. With a non-...

If "many moving companies" are now serving small moves, it runs counter to 99% of the posts I've seen here from the pros, and could be something new. In which case, I'd recommend the OP do the following: 1. Do Your Research . Take the time to walk through the steps mentioned in our article “How to F...

This sounds more like a DIY move that one that I'd recommend hiring a moving company to perform. I'm guessing your items weigh less than 2,000 lbs? If that's the case, most moving companies won't look at your load, as it's too costly for them to move. That leaves the "rent-a-truck" option. I would a...
