Moving Storage Company
I Long distance relocation from South Africa will always involve the use of a moving storage company , and there are plenty to choose between. How you go about making that choice may put you in a bit of a quandary, so let us tell you a little about Active Transport in the hope that it may put your mind at rest. When you plan on making such a move, your furniture and possessions have to be crated into boxes and these must be loaded correctly into a container and accompanied by customs declarations and so on – quite a complicated process. When it comes to clearing such a consignment through customs it always helps enormously if the moving storage company packs everything from square one. This is because the respective customs agents know and trust most of the larger moving storage companies.
When moving from South Africa to Europe, North America or to the Australia region, you should make allowances for the time it will take for the container to be shipped – reckon on at least 30 – 45 days for the trip. This inevitably means that on one side of the pond or the other you are going to have to arrange for temporary accommodation for at least that time. The moving storage company cannot move any faster and a container ship cannot either. A container is not cheap, and the price fluctuates with exchange rates and fuel oil prices, so be sure to get quotes from your moving storage company and ask about possible fluctuations.
