Don't worry, our teams are here to help! For everyone's safety, we've set up virtual appointments, and our packing workers have been trained to handle your things safely.

Moving with DocShipper

5 Steps to understanding my expatriation

  • Step 1 - Packing and pick-up

    Packing and delivery to your home

    This is a necessary (and preliminary) step before we start operations. Our packing crew will arrive at your residence and pack all of your possessions as if they were their own.
    DocShipper Tip: Packing your belongings is an important part of your move, according to DocShipper. It will keep your stuff safe throughout the entire logistical process. Here's where you can learn more about this service: Packing Service

  • Step 2 - Delivery to the (air)port

    Delivery to the loading terminal

    Delivery to the loading terminal
    Your items will be transported to the nearest terminal once they have been packed (and palletized if necessary) (port or airport). Then, in order to prepare for export, we'll complete the customs declaration.

    DocShipper Tip: We understand how valuable your items are. As a result, we can secure them by packing them in a wooden crate. Is it not enough? If your items demand it, you may even ask our experts to supply anti-oxidation or other packaging.

  • Step 3 - International freight

    Air, sea, and/or truck freight

    This step will have a big impact on your relocation. Indeed, the method you choose will have an impact on various aspects of your relocation, including the delay, as well as the security and cost. Our specialist will analyze your requirements and come up with a solution that meets your requirements.

    Asutce DocShipper : Your DocShipper consultant will present you with several options so you may choose the best one for you. Please contact our consultants for additional information on freight options, or visit our dedicated pages: Sea Freight, Air Freight, and Road Freight.

  • Step 4 - Clearance of Customs

    Clearing your goods

    Our customs broker will make contact with the appropriate authorities to declare and release your package. Your items will be delivered to your new house after this is completed (unless you need to store them).

    DocShipper Tip: To guarantee that nothing gets in the way of the customs clearance process, your moving expert will go over each document with you and transmit it to our customs broker. To minimize squabbles on the big day, it's critical to plan beforehand for every demand. More details on this step can be found here: Clearance of customs

  • Step 5 - Your order will be delivered to your home

    Unloading, unpacking, and delivery

    DocShipper is extremely adaptable! This kind of agility is difficult to come by. Do you prefer to save money? We can bring your goods by truck and help you unload and unpack them. We can also send a team to assist you with this phase, and we'll work within your budget!
    DocShipper Tip: The most expensive aspect of an international (or local) move is labor! Manage a portion of your relocation and learn how to move for the lowest possible price! To discover more about our Eco, Medium, and Premium programs, please contact our specialists.

After analyzing your needs (deadlines, budget, volume), we will recommend the most cost-effective ways of transportation. "All roads lead to Rome," as we all know, and the logistics sector is no exception! We may have several possibilities for your move: it depends on the method, as well as the route we choose. We'll present you with various options, and you'll simply have to choose the best one.

Let's have a look at the options available to us:

Sea Freight

The most common method of international shipping is by ship:

  • Low cost for high volumes (full container).
  • Link to all international ports in the world.

sea-freight-moving-docshipper

Full Container Load (FCL)

If you go with an FCL option, the container will be completely dedicated to your personal belongings.

  • Customs clearance is faster because there is only one packing list.
  • Possibility of loading (and unloading) just in front of your house (if conditions allow).
  • Because this approach requires less handling (as opposed to LCL), it is more secure.

Less than Container Load (LCL)

When you have a small volume, LCL (Less than Container Load) or consolidation is ideal.

  • Before being put into a container, your belongings are packed in a wooden crate and/or a designated wooden pallet.
  • The transit time for LCL is similar to that of a full container load (FCL), although the customs clearance step takes one to two days longer on average.

Air Freight

air-freight-moving-docshipper

Air freight is ideal for shipments that must be delivered quickly and in small quantities:

  • The quickest mode of transportation.
  • An international airport network that spans the globe.

Road freight

truck-freight-moving-relocation-docshipper

Road freight is a must in international transport because :

  • The truck will serve as a link between the terminals and the departure/arrival areas (port or airport).
  • Ideal for cross-border travel.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer door-to-door moving services with DocShipper?

Yes, we certainly do! That's what we're good at: providing personalized help from start to finish. You don't have to do anything because we handle everything: packaging, storage, transportation (national or international), customs clearance, etc. Naturally, you may tailor this approach to your own requirements, so it's up to you (with the help of your consultant) to create the best offer for your project.

What are the costs of customs duties and taxes?

This question is difficult to answer because it is dependent on so many variables. First and foremost, some statuses are normally tax exempt, such as diplomats, citizens returning to the country, and expatriates having a local work permit. Some things, on the other hand, can be substantially taxed; for example, a car can be taxed at more than 200 percent or even 300 percent of its worth! It's also worth noting that some items are restricted. Our consultant will check over your inventory with you to ensure that everything is in good working order before you leave, putting quality first!

Is it possible for me to pack my belongings myself?

This is a service that not many movers provide, but it is one that you value greatly at DocShipper! What motivates you to accomplish this? Simply because it is an alternative that allows you to have a moving solution at the lowest possible price (yes, yes!). Packing services are likely one of the more costly aspects of the moving process. So join involved and save up to 50% on your relocation!

What are the payment options and how do I pay?

All moving fees must be paid before your shipment is unloaded at its destination, according to tariff requirements. In terms of payment methods, we're breaking new ground! You can pay in a variety of ways with us: Bank transfer (in major currencies: Euro, USD, THB, HKD, GBP...), PayPal, Credit card, Bitcoin... It's up to you to decide which option is best for you!

How much does it cost to relocate?

Answering this question is extremely tough, if not impossible! Indeed, a number of variables will influence the cost of the solution we provide to you: origin, destination, additional services (packing, storage, loading...), status, period... Please do not hesitate to contact one of our advisors for personalized guidance on how to reduce the expense of your relocation in the future.

When is the most ideal time to relocate?

There is no right or incorrect time to relocate because it will be determined by you, your project, and your overall timetable. It is crucial to note, however, that the summer (June to September) is the busiest moving season. Many people migrate during their summer vacations or during the school year. It's vital to remember that the summer is a time when team availability is significantly decreased, but not non-existent...
