Moving abroad involves more than packing boxes and arranging transport. It requires skill and careful planning, experience and attention to detail, not assumptions.
We begin by understanding where you are moving, what you are taking with you, what time frame you are working to and what level of support you need. Based on that, we cover everything from packing and loading the shipping container to customs clearance and final delivery, with great care at every step and clear coordination from the point of origin to the final destination.

FAQ
Common questions
What can I ship as personal effects?
Everyday belongings such as clothing, books, kitchenware, textiles and household items. Some items are restricted or prohibited for international shipping, so we will review your list with you before collection.
Do personal effects get charged customs duty?
It depends on the destination country and the type of goods. Personal effects and transfer-of-residence shipments may qualify for reduced or zero duty in some countries. Duties are set by the destination's customs authority, and we help with the paperwork.
Do you pick up from my home?
Yes. We collect from your door across the Greater Toronto Area so you can focus on the rest of your move. Call (647) 534-4630 to arrange a pickup.
Are my belongings insured during transit?
Yes. We offer basic transit insurance, and full coverage is available at an extra cost.
What documents are needed for international relocation?
Passport, visa, packing list, ID proof, customs forms, and any required permits or approvals.
