Fort Worth International Movers

At Suddath, our expert international movers manage more than 2,500 international moves every year, so you can have confidence in our people and our services. We have the experience and the resources to provide safe, efficient moves every step of the way. Our certifications and international partner affiliations also make us stand out from every other international moving company in Texas, including: Harmony Relocation Network, a cooperative network of relocation companies providing worldwide moving and relocation services for corporate and private customers; certification with the Fédération Internationale des Déménageurs Internationaux (FIDI), the world's largest alliance of international moving companies (this certification is the highest standard in our industry, and it means our company operations and customer service quality have satisfied hundreds of requirements); LACMA certification (Latin American and Caribbean International Movers Association), enabling us to serve customers in Central and Latin America; and membership in the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council (Worldwide ERC).

As one of the largest agents in the Harmony Relocation Network system, Suddath serves more than 180 countries on six continents. Our access to a worldwide infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology provides our customers with exceptional service, regardless of their destinations. Nearly all aspects of international moves are unique, so our moving crew members have been trained in the specialty services that these moves require. Our packing professionals, for instance, know which international-grade packing materials and packing methods to use when preparing your belongings for your move. In addition to our in-house forwarding service that handles transportation arrangements, you will benefit from our partnerships with agents in your destination country that have English-speaking supervisors to coordinate the delivery of your household goods.

Whether your international move from Ft. Worth is private or an employee relocation, a professional international move coordinator will work directly with you to learn about the details of your move. Your personal coordinator will be available throughout your move to address your questions and concerns, assist you with planning for any necessary customs and regulations, and help you craft an efficient, customized moving strategy.

There are many factors that determine shipping time, so any international moving company you speak with will need as much information as possible about your move. Your destination country and city and whether you will ship via air or sea freight are just a few of the issues that will impact the timeframe a moving company will be able to provide. Once you speak with one of our representatives, they can give you a general timeline based on current port waiting times. When you're assigned a move coordinator, they can keep you up-to-date as your move progresses.

A reputable international moving company will provide a detailed quote and make sure you understand any additional costs that may be incurred during your move. The company's representative will also explain all the factors that affect your estimate, from your choice of sea or air freight to any specialty services that have been requested. At Suddath, your personal move coordinator will ensure that you know just how much your international move will cost.

If you need to move during the busy season, which is typically the summer months for most Fort Worth moving companies, you will need to book your move several months in advance. Ask prospective international movers if they can accommodate a specific timeframe and how far in advance you need to schedule.

For your protection, it's essential to only work with moving companies that have the proper insurance and licensing necessary to handle overseas moves. Ask each international moving company you speak with for proof of their licenses and insurance policies. Also, look for a company that has been accredited by at least one international moving association, such as the American Moving and Storage Association.

Make sure you understand how an international mover handles insurance, including the valuation method, what is and is not covered, and how claims are processed. At Suddath, your designated move coordinator will be glad to explain value protection and will assist you if a formal claim becomes necessary.

In general, a moving company's restrictions will be dictated by the laws of the countries your household goods will be moving through. For a definitive answer to this question, you should consult with the relevant embassy or consulate well ahead of your move to avoid unnecessary shipment delays. You can expect to find restrictions on firearms, medications, perishables, and potentially flammable or hazardous items such as aerosol spray cans.
