It's important to choose an international moving company with a good reputation. Doing so ensures that you know your goods will be safe when in transit. There are countless consumer reviews websites that allow you to develop an understanding of which companies can be entrusted to help you with your international move.

• Choose an established moving company. Sure, choosing a new company may help you grab a deal that's cheaper than industry averages, but it may also leave you vulnerable to errors or a poor service.
• Work with a company that will assign you a coordinator or manager. There's nothing worse than having to deal with a different employee every time you make contact and doing so may cause something to go wrong. By having one point of contact within a company you ensure a consistent level of understanding.
• Find a company that's open with their pricing structure. It's an unfortunate fact that many businesses hit you with hidden charges and fees.

• Discuss the company's liability coverage. If something were to go wrong with your household goods during the move, their liability coverage could make the world of difference and save you from being substantially out of pocket.
• Get as much information about pick-up and delivery times as possible. This is vital for any move, let alone an overseas one.
• Check out customer reviews online. Get a feel for the quality of customer service provided by a moving company, as this is often a good indicator of the overall quality of service you should expect from them.
