Reduce the moving stress – Create a checklist, plan ahead and organize your time
Moving is stressful; there is no way around that. If you want to remove as much stress as possible, start by eliminating all the uncertainties. The first thing is having your home lined up for purchase, and we can help you with that. Why use us as your agent? Because we know Mexico like the palm of our hand and can provide you with the best solutions in a short timeframe. After we find you a home you love, it is time to move on to your relocation.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to organize your time and efforts. If you have a good plan thought up, everything else will be a lot easier. And the best weapon you can have in your moving arsenal is the moving checklist. This document, a moving staple, will have all the tasks that you need to accomplish, no matter how big or small. After you have all the tasks written down, it will be a lot easier to figure out when to do each one. You will be able to create a timeline and stick to it.
Get ready for your international move – Hire a professional moving company
Moving from Hong Kong to Mexico is by no means a local move, quite the opposite. Most people simply cannot manage to relocate their entire household over such a distance and keep their sanity intact. Of course, it is not impossible, but it is challenging, and very few people choose to do it on their own. You will have a much easier time if you let the professionals from Relosmart Movers Hong Kong handle all the literal and figurative heavy lifting. They will make your moving experience much more enjoyable, simple as that. Ask them about any aspect of the move you are unsure about, and they are sure to ease your worries with their expert advice.
Prepare your car for shipping
If you want your car to make the trip with you, there are some preparations that you need to undertake. First, you need to figure out exactly how much time is required for your car to arrive. Knowing that will make it possible for you to arrange the timeline so that your vehicle will be there once you land. If you are wondering whether Mexico is safe enough for you to leave your car there for some time, we can assure you that it is. Forget what you might have read or heard up until now and simply look at today’s facts.
Besides figuring out the time and date of your car’s arrival, you will also need to make sure that it is ready for long-distance transport. This means going to the mechanic and getting their approval. Then there is quite a bit of paperwork to consider, border crossing regulations, and so on. If you want to make this an easy task, your best bet is hiring a shipping company with experience in Mexico’s laws and regulations. It’s the same as registering your car; you can do it on your own, but it is seldom worth the hassle.
An international move requires additional insurance
Whenever you are shipping your items internationally, you need to be aware that something can go wrong. That is why you might want to try to “cover all the angles”, no matter what. We’ve gone through most of what you can expect from international shipping in our Mexican Customs rules guide, but even if you follow it to the letter, unforeseen incidents can always happen. If you want to be as safe as possible, purchasing insurance that will reimburse your items’ full value is a good start. Standard insurance will usually cover only a fraction of the cost.
International shipping is governed by many rules and regulations, and it is really easy to lose track of something, which might cause a considerable delay. If you want to get all your stuff in no time, you either become an expert or hire experts. And if an accident happens, you want to be compensated accordingly. Purchasing the right insurance plan will all but guarantee it.
Pack an essentials box for every member of your family
Finally, when speaking of accidents, you might need to live for a couple of days with only the items you brought with you. The world is an uncertain place, and you need to make sure that you will be alright no matter what. That is why your best choice is to prepare an “essentials box” for each member of your family. This box will contain everything that you might need for a couple of days. Think items such as changes of clothing, toiletries, medicine, entertainment, anything that you simply could not live without for a day or two.
Remember, always hope for the best, but plan for the worst. When moving from Hong Kong to Mexico, those are good words to live by. The reality will always be more pleasant than your fears.
