Usually what time does a job end? |
|
|
|
|
 |
It really depends on the size of the volume, so we cannot give you an exact time for a job to be completed.

Generally, how long does it take to pack all of my stuff on the day of the packing date? |
|
|
|
|
|
For smaller volume shipments, it will take about a half day or less for the packing of your goods; for a 20 ' container, it takes about a day; a 40 ' container takes about one to two days.

What articles or items should I carry into the airport and what should I ship inside the cargo? |
|
|
|
|
|
First, make sure you know what you want to take inside the cargo and what you would like to carry into the plane when departing the country.
You will need to carry a passport, air travel documents, medicines, personal items, and the rest can be sent by vessel inside your cargo or container with the exception of any items that are prohibited. For Airline baggage regulations and limitation, it depends on your airline. Usually, first class has a limitation of 40kg, economy class is 30kg and sometimes 20kg. Please check with your airline for more details about what you can and cannot carry in and the limitation on baggage.

Can I pack my own stuff or do I need a professional to pack my stuff? |
|
|
|
|
|
We would recommend that you let our professionals pack everything for you. However, if you would like to pack some stuff yourself, and our packer believes the boxes need to be repacked, then we can repack them for you. Please keep in mind that you cannot file for an insurance claim if you have packed everything yourself, since we are not responsible for the quality of packing your boxes. Please consult with a representative about insurance coverage and about packing your own boxes.

How is my cargo transportation prepared in the container? |
|
|
|
|
|
For smaller shipments, we will create a pallet or crate (a wooden box) if necessary, and for bigger volume shipments, we can fit it into a 20 ft. or a 40 ft container.
|
|
|

|

Do we have to file for insurance coverage even if our shipment is packed very well? |
|
|
|
|
|
We work with the best appointed agents in the business and the responsibility is taken throughout the whole process from the day of the pick up to delivery to your home destination. However, a carrier cannot fully guarantee that your shipment or some items will get there without any damages. So, we would recommend getting insurance for your shipment. We would also look into agents who are well qualified in the field of shipping your goods and the appointed agent who is responsible for making the delivery at the destination.

What are some excluded costs or third party fees? |
|
|
|
|
|
Removing and installing the air conditioner, the use of a lift ladder, furniture assembling of elaborate pieces, heavy items like a Grand piano or a safe vault, carrying satellite antenna and installation, and any other costs that we are not directly in charge of and a third party is used for their services. We recommend using an experienced and professional third party service for any installations, assembling, and services that require additional labor.

We are worried about the difference in voltage and electrical appliances, should we leave them all behind or take them with us? |
|
|
|
|
|
If we are just looking at the voltage differences, you can easily purchase a voltage transformer without any issues. You can purchase a transformer here in Korea or at the destination. As long as the electronics and appliances are compatible at the destination, the transformer should suffice abroad. Please check with your manufacturer prior to making your final decision.

Could you tell us how much people usually take with them for a full removal? |
|
|
|
|
|
First of all, we would look it on the basis of the duration of the local housing and what kind of status you are obtaining at the new country you are planning on moving to. If you are planning on living there for several years or indefinitely, we would recommend taking everything that you find valuable to you. Usually clients will take ½ to a full container shipment depending on the size of the family or if it is an individual shipment. We would also look at the amount of years you have used some of your furniture or household goods. If you have had an item for 7 to 10 years, then maybe it would be better to purchase it again there instead of shipping the old items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
25 |
Would you recommend items that might be cheaper to purchase here than abroad? |
|
|
|
|
|
Of course it varies on each circumstance for each country. Generally, depending on the quality of the furniture, we recommend taking furniture pieces from Korea since it might be more purchasing it again there. In addition, any plastics and stainless steel products for consumer goods are expensive and it is better to take them with you.
