CHOOSING THE RIGHT INTERNATIONAL MOVER
Moving internationally is an exciting new adventure! With a new culture and experience awaiting you, you must first weigh up the options and choose the right moving company before you can settle into your new home.
Whether it’s your first time moving internationally, or you’re looking for a better moving company from your previous move, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you find the right international mover for a smooth and stress-free experience!
What to look for in an international mover
Deciding on the right international moving company will look different for everyone. As every move is unique, you need a moving company who will cater for your specific requirements. Along with their flexibility, the best international movers should meet our criteria listed below.
High level of experience & highly trained team
The right international moving company will have a wealth of experience in international relocations and have a highly trained team to ensure your experience is stress-free. Taking on a move within Malaysia can be difficult, but an international move is an entirely different beast. A moving company not only needs to pack your belongings safely for a long journey and transport them, they also need to navigate changing time zones, customs and multiple other challenges that come with an international move. Enquire with your chosen moving company on their experience with relocations from Malaysia to your new home, and whether they have taken on similar moves. The right moving company should also be clear and transparent about the level of training their staff has and can give your confidence that your move is in safe hands.
Offer multiples services
An international move involves multiple moving parts that are hard to control, making you likely require additional services to meet these needs. Whether it’s moving your car or pet from Malaysia to your new overseas home, or if you need assistance with your packing, a high quality international removalist should offer an array of additional moving services.
A global network of movers
Taking on an international move can be difficult as it is with one moving company, so dealing with multiple can cause an enormous headache. There can often be breakdowns in communication between moving companies, leading to the loss or misplacement of your belongings. There also may be a language barrier which can be highly stressful to navigate. Choosing an additional moving company in your new country can likewise be a tough decision. These reasons are why it’s essential to choose a moving company with a global network of movers.

Transparent communication
Before choosing an international moving company, you want to know the level of communication you will be receiving throughout your move. Ask your international moving company about the level of communication you can expect, so you don’t get left in the dark. Enquire whether you will have access to a moving consultant, who can handle the finer details of your move. Is there a way you can easily track the progress of your move around the clock? Allied uses GlobalCom to ensure our customers have access to constant updates about their international move from Malaysia 24/7!
Insurance plans
There is always a possibility of accidents occuring, even with the most careful and trusted moving company. With your belongings travelling great distances from Malaysia to your new international home, they may be subjected to weather conditions, unprecedented delays, and other accidents causing them to be damaged or lost. Therefore, choosing an international moving company who offers comprehensive insurance plans is so important. Enquire if your moving company provides insurance,and ask what is covered by their policies along with how the claim process works before hiring them for your move.
Quotation service
To evaluate the quality of your international mover, the company should be able to provide you with a unique quote. Request a quote on your move from multiple movers so you can easily compare prices and overall value. Watch out when going for the lowest quote, especially if it is significantly lower than the rest of your quotes. A price that seems too good to be true, often is. A moving company may be saving costs by cutting corners which can lead to ongoing problems down the line, from missing or damaged items to issues with customs.
Certified by industry bodies
Through certifications from industry bodies and organisations, you can understand whether you are choosing the right international moving company. Certifications can speak to their reputation within the international moving industry, whether they are following the standards and regulations of relocations and the overall quality of their operations. Look for accreditations from industry bodies such as FIDI FAIM and quality management standards ISO-9001.
