International Moving FAQ
The cost of an international move can vary depending on several factors, including the distance, the volume of items being shipped, customs requirements, and additional services like packing or storage. At U.Santini, we offer personalized quotes to ensure transparency and accuracy. Factors that can impact the cost include:
- Destination country: Each country has varying customs fees and regulations.
- Shipping method: Sea freight is typically more affordable than air freight but takes longer.
- Services required: Packing, unpacking, and storage options may influence your final price.
Yes, you can move internationally with pets, but careful planning is essential to ensure everything goes smoothly. Here are the key steps:
- Check regulations: Each country has its own rules for pet imports, including vaccinations, health certificates, quarantine periods, and breed restrictions. Research your new country’s requirements well in advance.
- Pet container preparation: Invest in an airline-approved pet carrier that ensures your pet’s comfort and safety during the move.
- Consult your vet: Ensure your pet is healthy enough for travel and has the required vaccinations.
While U.Santini doesn’t directly handle pet relocations, we can recommend trusted partners who specialize in pet-friendly travel to ensure your furry friend arrives safely.
Packing for an international move can feel overwhelming, but having a system in place is key to staying organized. Here’s how you can approach it:
- Declutter Your Belongings: Dispose of items you no longer need before packing. This will reduce shipping costs and streamline your move.
- Choose Quality Materials: Use durable packing supplies, including sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape.
- Label Everything: Clearly mark your boxes with their contents and the room they belong to. This will make unpacking at your new home much easier.
- Pack Essentials Separately: Keep items you’ll need immediately—like toiletries, important documents, and a change of clothes—in a separate, easily accessible bag.
- Hire U.Santini’s Packing Services: Are you not a fan of packing? No problem. We offer full and partial packing services, which are customizable to fit your moving needs!
Our expert team uses top-quality materials to protect your belongings during transit. Choose between options like full packing or packing/unpacking assistance for a stress-free move.
Sometimes, in international relocation, there’s a gap between leaving your old home and settling into your new one. U.Santini offers secure short-term and long-term storage solutions in our fully insured Brooklyn warehouse. Our facilities are climate-controlled and monitored, ensuring your belongings are safe until you’re ready to receive them.
International moves generally take longer than domestic ones due to documentation and customs requirements. On average:
- Air freight shipping: Typically takes 1–2 weeks.
- Sea freight shipping: This can take between 6–8 weeks, depending on the destination.
We recommend starting the planning process at least 3–4 months in advance to account for obtaining visas, permits, and coordinating shipping logistics. Our experienced team will help guide you through the timeline to avoid any unexpected delays.
