When looking forward to intercontinental move, it can be quite exciting. And, it can be intimidating, too. Know that when picking Corrigan Moving as your international moving company, you’re choosing to have a teammate during each phase of the process. Our years of international moving experience allows you to have the assurance to move forward knowing that your belongings will be handled carefully on their international voyage.
We began moving families in 1929. To this day, we have extended our service offerings and have served tens-of-thousands of households and individuals relocate abroad. Regardless if this is your very first international move, or if you are an expert journeyer, Corrigan will walk you through each step to make sure you are comfortable with the relocation process and certain that your items will clear customs and be delivered to your new house safely.
Effortless and stress-free experience
Essential to the success of your relocation is your single contact with Corrigan. You will be teamed up with a Global Relocation Specialist. This individual has broad experience helping households like yours in relocating internationally. They are familiar with the intricate customs and immigration policies around the world and will make sure you are ready for the future. You will be confident knowing that your shipment and documents will be managed the right way, so your delivery can occur with no delay.
Throughout your relocation process, your Global Relocation Specialist will be sure that your shipment meets all the laws to have clearance through customs. In the unlikely event that a visual inspection is required by customs, your GRS will continue to connect with you, so you can anticipate every stage. We can decrease the number of our containers that require a visual check at customs by ensuring that the relocation process and all the paperwork meet their expectations.
Prepared ahead of the move
Smooth and productive international moves begin with a thorough in-home or virtual home survey. Here, our international moving professionals will look at all the things in your home that is moving. They will put together an inventory of all parts of your relocation – air shipment, sea shipment, and storage. This will be the starting point to have discussions with your Global Relocation Specialist about what things you would like to include in each shipment type. Additionally, you will be provided with the unique regulations for the nation you are relocating to. Every country has exclusive and unique requirements for what items you are or are not allowed to bring into the country. Understanding this info at the start means you’ll be ready ahead of move day.
The following stage of ensuring your documentation is accurate and fully executed takes place on packing day and moving day. Your team will be specifically educated regarding the special paperwork requirements for international relocations. They will ensure that the inventory is accurate. One major component of this is that we are required to pack or visually confirm every box in the container. This gives our crews the ability to ensure that no item is being shipped that isn’t permitted into your destination country. Additionally, it gives us the time to accurately itemize everything on your inventory – an essential aspect of following through on customs requirements.
That was a fantastic experience! The whole crew was amazing. End-to-end experience
with them left us feeling very good (continue to keep us feeling good) about entrusting
Corrigan to transport our home from here to there.
Some details:
Steve, it starts with you. The interactions with you are the reason we selected
Corrigan. You are very good at the details on estimating, you have a lot of experience,
and you are able to educate us on the process – sure, that is the baseline. But, you are
very aware that, although you have the confidence to know how it happens, you know
we do not, plus, we are stressed, over-loaded with myriad details related to the move,
and trying to choose a company for the move is one more of those. You were calm,
patiently explaining, always with a steady confidence, and never coming over that we
were just another form to fill out. So thank you for bringing humanity to our encounter.
Kristy, when the business switched over to you, things did not change. Although what
we worked on was all about contracts and details and schedules, you kept it light and
easy and fast. As an example, when the conversation turned to delivery time window,
you did not just give us a generic 2 week window with no information, you shared out all
the moving parts of how the container goes from here to there with where the
uncertainties were in that process. Having those details changes our view of it from
“black-box” to being included in the process. With empathy, you included us as part of
the team and process.
The crew – the whole lot of them were great. Very nice, easy going, crazy hard
working! They kept everything straight. Individuals changed day to day, that was not a
problem at all. New folks slipped right in and charged on! Them being on-site again,
further supported our feelings of confidence in the whole process.
This letter is regarding your employee, Kristina Haring, and her extraordinary professionalism and service.
I feel compelled to express my appreciation since it is rare to encounter someone with her level of
expertise and care in assuring a successful outcome.
I originally worked with Kristy in 2020 when I moved from Michigan to Alaska. I had no experience or
knowledge of the magnitude of such a move and was apprehensive. In my search for a competent
moving company, I felt an immediate sense of trust in Kristy. Her knowledge, meticulous attention to
detail, and advocacy for her client were obvious which led me to select Corrigan from a list of many
competitors. My move was accomplished with ease.
Five years later, I am now returning to Michigan and though tempted to select a mover based in
Anchorage, I called Corrigan on the chance that Kristy was still with the company. I was thrilled to find
Kristy and immediately set aside any thought of selecting another mover.
Once again, she has been exceptional. This time, I had many questions about how to minimize cost (this
move was at my expense) and Kristy patiently and thoroughly explained my options. Most impressively,
she is handling my move as though it were her own. She has a toughness and no-nonsense way about
her that is both kind and so deeply reassuring. Her skill set is rare and invaluable.
I felt it important that you know , from a customer's perspective, what kind of employee you have in your
midst. You are so very fortunate to have her and I am lucky to have her as my moving specialist. There
are no words to adequately convey my gratitude for being able to sit back and breathe knowing she is
handling it all!
