WHAT CUSTOMERS WORRY ABOUT
Moving overseas
comes with more than
boxes.
International moving can feel overwhelming. These are the six concerns we hear most – and the ones we plan around before you even have to ask.
01
Will my goods be
packed safely?
02
Will I get
clear updates?
03
What happens
at customs?
04
Will there be
surprise charges?
05
Who handles
destination delivery?
06
Will my family
feel supported?
At Globe Moving, we manage these concerns with planning, clarity, and proactive communication – so you do not have to chase, guess, or manage every detail yourself.
YOUR MOVE JOURNEY
Four steps.
Carefully managed.

We listen
first

Destination, timeline, family requirements, fragile items, service expectations. White Glove starts with listening, not quoting.
02
We plan with precision
Every detail prepared before move day
Packing, home protection, customs documents, special handling, shipping mode, access planning, destination support.
03
We move with care
Your home handled with respect

OUR CONTAINER LOADING STANDARD
What we do before your shipment leaves India
A 9-step protocol — documented, certified, carried out by our own crew. Most movers don’t do this. We do.
BEFORE LOADING
Strict container inspection
Every container is thoroughly inspected before a single item goes in. Any damage — however small — means immediate rejection. No patch jobs.
- Holes, dents, or structural defects
- Cleanliness of container body
- Suitability confirmed before loading begins
Why this matters
Even a tiny opening allows moisture, salt air, or pests to enter — causing serious damage thousands of miles from origin.
BEFORE LOADING
Container floor inspection
A dedicated inspection of the container floor — beyond the structural check. Cracks, chemical residue, dampness — all checked before anything else.
- Cracks, soft spots, or broken planks
- Oil stains or chemical residue
- Dampness or contamination from prior cargo
Why this matters
The container floor is the most common source of moisture transfer — even when the walls look perfectly sound.
PRE-LOADING SETUP
Moisture control
Silica gel trays or desiccant bags placed at strategic positions. Quantity and placement determined by transit duration and route conditions.
- Placed at moisture-prone zones
- Quantity matched to transit time and route
- Active humidity management throughout the voyage
Why this matters
Humidity trapped inside a sealed container causes odour, corrosion, mould, and warping.
PRE-LOADING SETUP
Floor protection installation
After both inspections clear, dedicated floor protection sheets are installed across the entire loading area before any goods are placed.
- Covers the full loading area, no gaps
- Prevents contact with residual moisture Isolates goods from prior cargo contamination
Why this matters
Floor protection significantly reduces damp cartons, mould formation, and damage to wooden furniture on long ocean voyages.
LOADING
Stuffing by our own export crew
Container stuffing carried out only by Globe Moving's trained in-house export crew. Systematic weight distribution, planned placement, and a Bingo Sheet for every load.
- Planned placement and weight distribution
- Bingo Sheet — every item logged by position
- No outsourced or casual labour
Why this matters
Random stuffing causes shifting, crushing, and insurance complications. A Bingo Sheet creates full accountability.
LOADING
Bulkheads and load securing
After stuffing, bulkheads are installed to lock cargo in place against rough seas, port handling, and transit vibrations.
- Bulkheads lock cargo against lateral movement
- Prevents shifting across extended deep-sea voyages
- Applied on every Globe Moving export load
Why this matters
Even perfectly packed goods suffer damage if they move inside the container. Securing the load is standard — not optional.
COMPLIANCE
Fumigation of wooden packing
All wooden packing materials — crates, supports, skids, bracing — fumigated to international quarantine and phytosanitary regulations.
- Wooden crates, cases, supports, and skids
- Authorised fumigation agencies only
- Certificate included in shipment documentation
Why this matters
Improperly treated wood leads to customs holds, re-fumigation costs, or outright rejection at destination.
COMPLIANCE
Container fumigation before sealing
After stuffing is complete, the entire container is fumigated before final sealing — eliminating insects, larvae, and residual contamination.
- Full container fumigation post-stuffing
- Eliminates biosecurity risks for sea transit
- Carried out before final sealing
Why this matters
Many destination countries enforce strict biosecurity norms. Container fumigation prevents quarantine delays on arrival.
DISPATCH
High-security sealing
The container is sealed using tamper-evident high-security seals. Seal numbers are recorded, verified, and included in shipment documentation.
- Tamper-evident security seals applied
- Seal numbers logged in documentation
- Verified before the container leaves our facility
Why this matters
Logged seal numbers protect against tampering and resolve any transit disputes quickly and definitively.

Predictable vs. Variable Costs: Helping you understand which fees are fixed and which ones depend on real-world events (like customs delays or port inspections).
The Division of Responsibility: Crystal-clear guidance on what our team handles seamlessly versus the specific tasks and documents that must remain with you.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Things people ask before they book
How much in advance should I call for the pre-move survey?
You can call Globe Moving & Storage Co., at least 1-2 weeks prior to the move. This way we can plan your move better to make it a smooth one.
How long will the pre-move survey last?
Usually not more than an hour
What is the purpose of a survey?
We conduct a pre-move survey for the following reasons To Inspect your goods, Understand your needs, Identify delicate & valuable articles, Take measurements to calculate the volume of the goods, Assess manpower and materials requirements, Check facilities for loading, parking, movement of vehicles, etc. During the survey Globe Moving & Storage Co Pvt Ltd will also explain the moving process, clear your apprehensions, advise you appropriate means of transport, schedule dates for packing & moving and most importantly help you plan your move more effectively
How should I prepare myself for the pre-move survey?
Identify, the goods in your house and decide the articles you intend carrying, storing, donating, leaving behind etc.
Show all the items you intend carrying to the surveyor. This helps us in making a better and more accurate estimate. Let us know about your special needs or areas of concern. Ask as many questions and clear all your doubts, however simple they may be. Make sure you give the same brief to all the moving companies surveying your goods
Will my goods undergo customs examination?
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.
Can I also pack my goods myself?
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.
How long will the packing take?
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.
What are the items that I can take and can't take with me?
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.
Anything that should definitely not be carried?
Well, mainly those things you might expect ? Antiques, drugs, alcohol (in some countries), weapons, ammunition, explosives, Ivory, animal skins, Sandalwood, pornography, Gold, Silver etc
Do I need insurance?
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.
What kind of insurance should I go in for?
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.
How do I value my goods for insurance?
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
What are the documents required to ship my personal effects out of India?
To ship your personal effects, we require copy of your Passport, Air-Ticket and destination delivery address. Besides this we will also require an Invoice & Packing List, Customs Declaration, which will be prepared by us and must be signed by you.
Can I ship me personal effects prior to my departure from India?
Yes, goods can be sent prior to your departure provided certain Customs bond is provided. Please check with us for further details.
What happens to my goods once they are packed and moved from my residence?
The goods are taken to our warehouse, crates or liftvans will be made as per your requirements. Once the documentation is complete the goods will be moved to either to a sea port or airport for customs examination, repacked and they will be put onto the next available ship or flight.
How long is this journey going to take?
Generally by Air, allow up to 14 days door-to-door. By sea, it depends where you are going but a reasonable estimate for Europe is 6 weeks, USA ? 8/10 weeks and Australia ? 5/7 weeks. If you are talking about remote areas, it will take longer.
