Timeline Of Your Move

Preparing for Your Move

Expatriates say that moving abroad is one of the most stressful things you can do in your lifetime. Our Global Mobility Consultants will organize the pre-move consultation to explain the entire process including packing service, storage, transit, customs clearance, and delivery of personal belongings in the new home.

The Pre-move Consultation

During the Pre-move Consultation, our Consultants will visit your employees at home to determine the volume of property your expatriates intend to ship by sea, road or airfreight.

Our Consultants will help to choose the service delivery that best meets your employee’s needs:

  • Packing & Loading
  • Transit, transportation and storage options
  • Special requirements for pets, antiques, vehicles, fragile items, etc.
  • Transit Protection
  • Explain what to expect when they arrive at their new destination and answer all questions. Together, they will choose and schedule packing and loading day(s).

On the Packing Day

Our crews will arrive at a date and time agreed. On arrival, the crew supervisor will introduce themselves, and will confirm all the details that were discussed during the pre-move consultation. The supervisor will prepare an inventory of each packed item, for example “carton of china”. This will be signed by him and the employee as a receipt for the belongings being shipped.
  • Keeping the possessions safe: The success of any move is built on the quality of the packing. Inhouse Mobility uses only the highest quality and most innovative packing materials which provide maximum protection and security.
  • Wrapping: On overseas moves, we use padded bubble-wrap, and a range of other specialist packing materials, to protect the personal household goods during transit.
  • Custom-made cartons: We have a range of custom-made containers and boxes for fragile or bulky items, for example:
  • Mattress cartons to protect the shape of the mattresses and keep them clean
  • Hanging wardrobe cartons to transport clothes like suites, skirts or shirts upright, stop them from creasing
  • Wooden china crates to keep fragile items safe
  • Over-sized cartons to transport chairs, standing lamps, lamp shaded, golf clubs or bicycles.
  • Specialised materials: We pack silverware in acid-free paper to stop it from tarnishing. We also place silica gel and absorbapoles – which absorb moisture, preventing damp and mildew – into shipment travelling to humid destinations.

Destination Services For a Smooth Arrival

When belongings arrive at destination, we will

  • Manage the inbound customs clearance
  • Confirm the status and service delivery
  • Confirm details of items being transported into local storage, pet delivery, vehicle, etc.

We coordinate partners at destination and plan delivery, unloading, unpacking and setting-up of furniture at the new home. The Inhouse Global Mobility Consultant will keep your expatriates up-to-date with transit schedules and times.
