We will gladly assist you with any questions you may have regarding shipping your belongings overseas.

Often, it is difficult to decide what to bring and what to leave behind.  By giving us the dimensions of the item in question, we can tell you its total cubic feet and approximately how much you will be paying to ship it.

How to pack these items can also be a concern.  We have listed a number of Packing Tips for your reference. Feel free to contact us if you are wondering which items should be broken down, set aside for the professionals, etc.

Another dilemma often encountered is which appliances to take with, which to purchase here and which to purchase overseas.  The answer to these questions is dependent upon several factors:

• First you need to check what voltage the country you are shipping to runs on.  If it is 110 Volt, as we use here in the U.S., you should be able to use all your current appliances.  Check the Hertz as well to make sure it is the same used here in the U.S.
• If 220/240 is used, several options are available. Transformers can be purchased here or overseas.  We offer transformers ranging from 100 to 2500 Watts. Certain appliances such as washing machines are difficult to convert because of the hertz of the electrical current, transformers do not change the hertz of an appliance. While transformers may seem to be the simplest and most economical option, it is important to keep in mind that transformers do slightly reduce the lifespan of the appliances running off them.  Also, only one appliance at a time may run off the transformer.
• For smaller appliances, such as hair dryers and toasters, it is definitely more economical and convenient to purchase new ones.
• Finally, if you decide you will need to purchase new larger appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and dryers, where to purchase them will depend upon their cost in the country you are shipping to versus their cost here in the U.S. We offer a wide variety of quality name brand 220V appliances at reasonable prices. If we happen not to carry the appliance you had in mind, we will do our best to locate it and order it for you.
