Housing in Manchester's city center is usually a bit expensive, while housing in the suburbs is cheaper. Living in these areas does not pose a transportation challenge, as Manchester has good public transportation and many Chinese have migrated and settled here.

Many people who emigrate choose to have their domestic belongings transported abroad through international movers to make life abroad easier. Of course, the international moving process is a little more troublesome in comparison, especially for people who do not have any experience in cross-country moving and are prone to encounter the following three problems:

1.Cost

Cost is one of the biggest concerns for many people. International moving is a big project, so what is the price?

International moving costs are generally composed of fixed and variable costs, fixed costs will be written in the contract, such as packaging costs, transportation costs, shipping costs, customs clearance fees, port fees, destination port service fees, etc., variable costs are due to a number of uncertain factors arising from the costs, such as customs inspection caused by the inspection fee demurrage charges, due to the items do not comply with the policies of the destination country tariffs, taxes, etc., exactly what costs, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses, the international moving expenses and the international moving expenses. etc. The international moving company will explain to you in advance what the specific costs are and have their own charges, so it is very crucial to consult in advance.

Here you do not need to worry too much. After all, the international moving market has been more mature, many things are open and transparent. Therefore, you only need to find a few more international moving companies to ask and compare to be able to have a psychological price.

2.the problem of time

There are some people care about the problem of time, if you do not know the relevant time, then it will affect the use of the items and their own trip plan, so you need to roughly grasp their shipping time.

Cross-country moving to foreign countries, mostly use the way of sea transportation, which inevitably a problem, the sea transportation time is longer. In the case of shipping from China to Australia, from Shanghai or Hong Kong to Melbourne or Sydney by sea, the sea voyage time is more than 15 days, and if shipping from China to the eastern United States or Europe, the time will be longer.

In addition, there is the customs clearance time, in general, the domestic customs clearance time is in 7-10 working days, and foreign customs clearance, different countries require different time, the United States is generally about 5 working days, Australia, New Zealand is generally within 2 weeks, Europe is generally about a week, Canada is more special, need to be the consignee himself to go to the Customs office in person to receive advice, assistance in customs clearance, generally the same day can be released.

So when ready to choose to sea their belongings, do your homework first, see what can bring which can not bring which, and then according to the visa and air ticket schedule, it is recommended to prepare for cross-country moving 2 months in advance, set aside at least 10 days of packing and organizing time.

3.Safety

International moving cycle is long, long distance, so the security of the items required more. The safety mentioned here mainly includes two points: packing and insurance. The first is packing, generally speaking, international moving companies have professional packing team, they use professional packing materials, and in strict accordance with the international moving standards for packing items, can effectively reduce the damage of the items. The second is to buy insurance, which can improve the safety of moving items to a certain extent. Insurance can ensure that one's financial interests will not be damaged, and the compensation received will be more reasonable after crossing the threshold of limit compensation.

Finally, of course, it is still recommended that you choose a regular and reliable moving company and sign an agreement, so that your international moving trip is the biggest guarantee. In addition to this, it is to make a good itemized list of items when packing your belongings, so that you can be prepared.
