When the goods leave India, your goods will be physically opened & examined. Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd will safely repack these goods for you. At destination, depending upon the country you are moving to, your goods may or may not be physically examined. In Europe & America, generally customs formalities mean only documentation. However, sometimes, random checks are done on personal effects. In such cases there will be an physical examination fee which is billed at cost. In other countries, generally your goods will be physically examined.

You can do this, but be aware of the potential problems. For instance, insurance companies will not pay out on goods packed by their owner. Also, Customs officials will almost certainly target goods that you have packed like locked suitcases. If you really must pack some of your goods, leave the cartons unsealed so that the Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd packing crew can inspect the contents, seal the cartons and make a note in the inventory.

Every home is different but for a 2000 sq ft of household effects between two and three days are needed for packing. This is based on a crew of three or four persons. If timing is important, let us know about your requirements and Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd will coordinate the move accordingly.

Generally speaking, you can take most of the personal stuff like clothes, books, curios, utensils, pictures etc. However, all flammable items, liquids, perishable foods and other items that can deteriorate should not be shipped. Think carefully about alcohol & electrical goods. They may attract heavy duty and the electrical goods may not be compatible. Contact Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd if you require more information about the customs regulations of the country you are moving to.

Well, mainly those things you might expect ? Antiques, drugs, alcohol (in some countries), weapons, ammunition, explosives, Ivory, animal skins, Sandalwood, pornography, Gold, Silver etc

We at Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd use quality packing materials and experienced crews to pack your goods. But this journey may be covering thousands of miles, experiencing different weather conditions, wide variations of temperature, and several forms of handling. The forces of nature and physics that a shipment has to undergo are unimaginable unless you?ve seen a freight ship go through an Atlantic swell with 60-ft waves washing over its cargo of shipping containers. So, Insurance is definitely a must and is really a bargain.

There are different kinds of insurance packages available like Indian Insurance, US Dollar Insurance, Declared value coverage, Replaceable value coverage etc. Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd can give you additional information if required.

In general, you should think about what it would cost to replace your goods. When completing your insurance value, please be as detailed as possible. Remember to mark down all individual items that have a high replacement cost. It?s better to have too much information than not enough in this instance. If you have any questions relating to the coverage, contact Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd
