International Relocation FAQs

It always helps to be informed no matter where you’re moving overseas which is why Mountain Moving & Storage assigns you a personal international relocation specialist whom you can count on from beginning to end.

Who do I contact for an international estimate?

Call us at (253) 581-2414 or fill out our free estimate form relocation specialist will work with you to determine your needs including going over services offered including international shipping, packing and valuation coverage options.

What are the various service options available to me and how much will it cost?

When moving internationally, you have a plethora of options available based on factors like price, transit time, container options, or routes such as air or sea freight. So, depending on what you need your cost may vary.

How can I plan for an international relocation?

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we recommend that you prep, prep, prep as soon as you know you need to move overseas. Additionally, think about what where you’ll store or dispose of your household goods or which items you’ll be taking with you personally.

How do I know I’ve chosen a licensed and insured international relocation team?

Always verify the credentials of the movers you’ve chosen, especially for an international move. You should also visit their site, research their reputation on BBB and read their reviews on Google or Yelp.

What items should I not include in an international shipment?

Avoid perishable items and anything that could leak during the shipment. For your safety and ours, you shouldn’t include hazardous materials like paint, matches, aerosol cans, gas canisters or other flammable items. If you’re not sure about the items you’re wanting to ship, just ask your international consultant when you’re discussing your estimate.

International Shipping Services

Our experienced rate analysts will review the results of your estimate and help determine the best method of transportation for your possessions. Only a few moving and storage companies offer international shipping services like Mountain Moving & Storage, so we’re prepared to help you understand the complexities of international shipping including:

Valuable/Fragile Items — Special handling or special crating needed for any specific items?

Transit-Time Expectations — Longer transit times will often reduce your rate but may not meet your personal needs. Air shipments typically are the fastest mode of transportation for small shipments but are often more expensive.

Insurance — If you need international insurance coverage, please ask your relocation consultant.

Our international moving specialists will create custom estimates based on the information you provide and will clearly advise items included/excluded in the return rate estimate.

International Relocation Tips

If you’re not sure what the total volume of your goods are, we can help you out with that. A big part of the cost for your shipment depends on the volume. If you’re moving a household that’s less than three bedrooms, a 20-foot container is ideal, whereas if you’re moving a size more than that, you’ll want to ask about availability for a 40-foot container.

Consider these extra details when planning your international relocation:

If this is a corporate move, will you or your employer be paying?

Any weight or volume limitations?

Any transit time restrictions due to housing availability, job start date, etc.?

Additional cost for insurance to be included/excluded as part of the rate?

From the moment we contacted Doug Kentfield requesting an estimate, to his congenial visit with us, to the moment we met the moving team, Jason and Gata, in our driveway promptly on time, we were impressed with the company’s professionalism and care in... moving our furniture. The movers were excellent problem solvers and were patient and helpful, respectful and communicative throughout the day.Over seven hours later they were tired from their efforts but they and we were very pleased with the results. We wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Moving Company to you.read more

Mountain Moving was very responsive and helpful. We had to move a large, heavy gun safe out of our basement up challenging stairs. It was hard to find someone just to consider the job. Doug came over and figured out a way to do it with specialized... equipment and very strong workers they have.They were able to fit us into their busy schedule pretty quickly, so we could send the safe off to its next home. We really appreciated everything!read more

My nonprofit organization recently worked with Doug's moving crew to coordinate the move-out of our building and into storage while we right size to a better office. Doug was helpful in answering questions, following up on needed information, and... responding to our concerns quickly and professionally. His team was flawless and fast on our moving day, finishing up the work early and under budget,. They also coordinated the efforts for the discarded items to the dump, eliminating extra hassles and time for our staff. We have also worked with Shannon in the business office to take of billing, and those interactions have been helpful, courteous and professionally managed as well. We are so grateful for the excellent work ethic and follow through from everyone at Mountain Moving & Storage, and we look forward to working with them again.read more

Excellent move from beginning to end. I’ve worked professionally with Mountain for over 20 years and was always impressed with their low claims ratio. This was the first time I got to experience it personally. The crew was outstanding and the packing was... superb. We didn’t have a single damaged item in our move. We are upper happy and impressed.

Great experience. Professional, did not cut corners. Had another local company cancel on me the day of my planned move and had already received a quote from Mountain Movers prior to the other company’s cancellation. Called them and asked if they could... move me ASAP and they were there the next morning. No nonsense, rapid move, never had to redirect their movers back on task. Highest recommend!read more

The workers moved a restored juke box filled with CD’s that couldn’t be jostled too much, or I would have spent hours re-organizing them. It was very heavy and awkward, yet two of them handled it no problem. It was moved between two residences smoothly.... Initially we were not sure if it would take three people to move it, so a third mover was there, but went unneeded. The good news was that they were honest and did not charge me for the third person. I would have paid, since he was on the premises, and they refused to charge me. THAT is why I will hire them again in the future should I need to. Honest, efficient, personable work...the way it should be.Joeread more

Though it was a lot of hard work they put in and maneuvering around they had to do, they... maintained great attitudes and were friendly. They work very well together. We also want to thank Doug for his timely responses to us through e-mail. We will definitely recommend Mountain Moving and Storage to others who may need a building moved or moving in general. We are sure your quality of service would be the same. Thank youRichard and Elaine Maceread more

The gentleman I talked to on the phone to arrange a move didn't seem to have a good handle on what was going on. Had to call 4 times to check on my delivery because he wasn't sure where his crew was or when they had an opening. The moving crew was... phenomenal. They unloaded my entire 26' truck (due to an injury I had) in only an hour. No broken items and they were more than willing to be gentle with the more delicate items and even moved things into the rooms I asked for to ease the hassle of doing it myself. Great job guys I'm impressed.read more

Great experiences with Mtn Moving. I have used them twice - once when they were assigned to my military move from WA to HI, and a second time when I chose them for a move from one point in Tacoma to another.I can't comment on pricing for the first move... (paid for by military), but the second move's pricing was very fair. James (estimator) arrived as scheduled, provided a written estimate and tentatively scheduled a moving day. A 'what-to-expect on moving day' PDF was provided. He offered to provide boxes and packing materials, if needed.Movers (Todd, Tua, Fah) arrived on time on moving day. Walked thru, discussed basic plan and they got to work. Watched the guys move all items and they used standard equipment (carpeted dollies, pads, tie downs, etc). Everything was handled carefully and nothing was thrown or dropped. Load up time was less than estimated and very smooth. Unloading at the new house took even less time.All in all, an excellent experience. Simply put, the service provided was the service promised. I think prepping for moving day is 80-90% of what makes things go smoothly. We had everything boxed up, labeled, and staged by the doors of each room on moving day. Clothes taken out of closets and dressers and boxed up. Read thru the "what-to-expect" PDF and transported prohibited items ourselves before moving day (open chemical containers, alcohol, high value items). Everything you leave for the movers on moving day to deal with adds TIME. That, in turn, will increase your final cost, or torpedoes the whole move because of some showstopper.read more

My wife and I scheduled these guys to help us with our local move. We have used several local companies in the past and have never been happy with the result, hence why we kept trying someone new. These guys are my goto recommendation if you need... assistance moving. I called and reserved a team of 4 and two trucks about a week before our move. They let me know the price estimate and gave us the estimate time they would be there. They called to confirm the day prior and called the morning of to let us know they were on their way. The guys that showed up (Mark, Gabriel, Robert, Jesse) were polite and professional and knew what they were doing. We showed them what needed to go and they quickly got to work. They treated our stuff just like it was there own. They worked quickly and efficiently. Moving is always stressful, these guys made at least this part of it easy. Instead of shopping around for who may be the cheapest, save your self the hassle and call these guys to take care of your stuff.read more
