Before you hire a moving company, it is important to conduct proper research and go through the customers’ reviews on them.
Be sure to verify the mover’s license with the appropriate authorities. All international moving companies must be properly registered with the Federal Maritime Commission as they will all be issued an FMC number.
Below are other factors that indicate the reliability of an international shipping company:
The company must be a member of the FIDI ( Fédération Internationale des Déménageurs Internationaux) which is a federation for worldwide international moving companies and must be registered with the RIM (International Mover Certification) which is issued by the AMSA (American Moving and Storage Association).
It must have high rating on BBB.
