How do you apply the rates for an International move? |
|
|
|
|
|
For International shipping via vessel, the weight of maritime transport will not be considered. For vessel shipments, the rate is applied depending on the cubic meter (CBM) volume, which is about the size of a washing machine dimensions: 1CBM (1 m × 1 m × 1 m vertical height). The base or minimum volume usually is set for 3 CBM and added at a prorated price for every additional 1 cubic meter if your exceed the minimum or base volume of 3 cubic meters.

When it comes to Canadian immigration, you will require the packing list at the Customs center and anything else that we need to know about in advance as an International student? |
|
|
|
|
|
In the case of an immigrant residing in Canada or if you are studying abroad, there are no taxes/duties for the movers. If you are staying for a longer period and extending your visa status and if your guardian has been approved for an extension, then you can bring additional household goods and personal effects without any duty fees. However, if you are only extending the visa status without a guardian, taxes/duties might apply for your shipment.

Do you deal with returning shipments from abroad back to Korea? |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, we can return shipments for anyone like International students or immigrants who are returning to Korea.
If you are moving as an International student and you would like to return your shipments back to Korea, you can ship it back as long as the visa status is approved. For immigration purposes, when clearing your shipment through Customs, you can declare additional items upon returning to Korea.

Do you provide local or domestic service for any stuff that we do not ship Internationally? |
|
|
|
|
|
We would recommend using a local mover separately. We usually do not deal with domestic moves unless it is a 3 bedroom apartment or bigger move, and we use a different process for International moves and packing from a local move. We also like to suggest for efficiency, not moving domestic stuff and International shipments in one day as this can cause confusions amongst packers and local movers.

Do you know more about the transformers and electric voltage possibly damaging electrical appliances? |
|
|
|
|
|
Since the voltage is different depending on the country, microwaves are subject to get damaged. In the case of a refrigerator, manufactured products before or on the year of the 2006 will not work since their voltage compatibility is 50 Hz. Please check with us the model, year, and model to see if the Hz voltage is compatible in your country to not. Some people will recommend you to just get an adapter to use electronic appliances, but for the sake of safety, we always recommend the use of a transformer.

What documents are required for us to prepare in advance? |
|
|
|
|
|
Preparation of documents in Korea: You will need a copy of your passport (front page of the passport) and a copy of your working visa. We will provide you the PACKING LIST after the completion of packing and loading your shipment. We will delivery or send the Bill of lading (B/L) to the appointed agent directly for document processing. In the case of immigrating to Canada for example, you will have to declare the ITEM VALUE and the price for each item. After arriving at the local airport, you will have to fill out a B4E FORM for declaring your household goods. Be sure to have your original copy of the visa and the PACKING LIST prepared and ready at the Entry Immigration office.

How do I make the payment for the cost to move? |
|
|
|
|
|
You can make the payment after the completion of the packaging in full or depending on the size of the volume. You may also pay the larger portion of the payment local and the remainder on the day of delivery or after Customs clearance at the destination. If you pay for the cost of the freight shipment at the destination, you will have to make the payment based on the local exchange rate relative to the local currencies as payment.

What do we have to prepare for on the day of the packing date? |
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy a nice breakfast in the morning and just have the rooms ready for our packers by having labels or by moving all the items that you are moving and not moving separately. And, if available, have a clean up trash bag for us so we can throw and dispose of any trash and debris afterwards.
