Customers can reduce risk by providing accurate and complete survey information, reviewing inventories carefully, choosing professional packing, preparing documents early, avoiding restricted items, selecting appropriate transit insurance, and allowing flexibility in their timeline. These steps help minimize delays, damage, and unexpected costs during an international move.
International moves involve multiple carriers, countries, and government authorities. While shipments are carefully planned and professionally handled, delays or damage can occasionally occur due to customs inspections, port congestion, weather conditions, paperwork issues, multiple handling points, or long transit times. Professional packing and transit insurance provide the best protection and peace of mind throughout the move.
International moving quotes are estimates based on the information available at the time of the survey. Pricing may change if shipment size or weight differs, access conditions vary, customs requirements arise, freight rates fluctuate, transit delays occur, or additional services are requested. Orbit works to communicate clearly and minimize surprises throughout the move.
