1. STARTING A MOVE
If you have never dealt with a move before it is very likely that you have the wrong picture in your head about a lot of things and most importantly about the exhaustion and the period of time you will need to sacrifice in order to complete the move successfully. In order to be fully prepared for any sort of a move and most especially an international one, you need to take a look at some well-established and truthful sources like specialized websites and the advices of your best friends who have already been through a removal. This article will provide you with the basics of how to leave and complete without problems an international move.

2. STARTING OFF
The first thing you need to make sure is done is to turn off any supplies of anything at all to your house. Turn off the electricity; permanently put a hold on any provision of gas, water, etc, so that you don't have to pay for things you don't use.  

3. PACKING THE SPECIAL THINGS
Not all the packing consist of boxes and items that are easy to place inside. Sometimes you will be in need to take care of lot bigger possessions like the fridge or the oven for instance. First thing you need to do is to clean them up thoroughly. If you need to transport belongings that are too big like some furniture you will need to take them apart and then assemble them back when you arrive in your home. Whenever you do that, make sure you keep all the little screws and bolts in a secure little bag and make sure you label the bag so that you know where the contents in it fit. When it comes down to gas, if you want to transport some directly to your new home, you will need to transport it by yourself and in a special container. No moving company would want to handle dangerous materials.

4. THE BASICS TO USING BOXES
The most ordinary type of packing happens with boxes. It is always wise to keep the original boxes of everything you buy. If you do, then you will never need to spend money on buying new ones. However, even if you have kept the old ones, you will still need to secure them and for that you will need not only protective materials but perhaps additional boxes. Also, always label each box properly, and if you are not too lazy make sure you scribble some sort of instructions. It sounds excessive but it is for the best. You don't want to put a fragile vase under an angle which would break it at the tiniest bump of the transportation vehicle.
5. RELOCATING THROUGH THE COUNTRY
Relocating across borders is more complicated than a removal that takes place within one country. If you will be facing an international move than you will definitely need to plan things ahead and begin the work on the move a lot earlier than necessary. Make sure you complete the packing at least a week before the actual moving day. In an international relocation many things could go wrong and if you are out of time when they take place you will be in a lot of trouble for sure.

To sum up, start with the preparations early and do them smartly, efficiently, with effort and a decent sense of time, by following the guidelines in this article.  If you do, you won't be having any problems.
