Shipping your belongings internationally can seem overwhelming, but it becomes manageable with the right strategy. Full-service international moving companies like Allied, SIRVA, or Crown Relocations specialize in helping you pack, ship, and deliver everything door-to-door. They even handle customs paperwork and insurance, which can save you a lot of hassle.

If you’re moving with fewer items, you might opt for container sharing (groupage) where your shipment shares space with others’ to lower costs. Air freight is the fastest method but is very expensive, typically used for a few essential items rather than a full household.

The key is planning early, getting multiple quotes, and inventorying exactly what you need to move. Be brutal about downsizing — sometimes it’s cheaper to sell furniture and rebuy at your destination rather than shipping everything. And always ensure you have insurance that covers loss or damage during transit.

For small loads, shipping boxes via DHL, FedEx, or your postal service can be cheaper and faster than full movers, especially if you’re not bringing furniture.
