Bekins International is an industry leader in international relocation, freight forwarding, and moving and storage services. Bekins understands the amount of anxiety related to moving and as such we tailor each move to meet the unique needs of every customer. Every shipment whether by air, ground, or ocean is carefully planned, managed and tracked from door to door.

Bekins International Moving Services "Move Management"

A successful move to a foreign country requires careful planning. The planning process can begin up to three months prior to the move. Bekins International will assign an International Relocation Coordinator (IRC), supported by the entire Bekins International move management team, to be the customer’s primary point of contact throughout the entire move.

Each step in the relocation process is managed by Bekins International, guaranteeing total control and providing comfort for the relocating family. It takes experts at both ends of the move to ensure that everything goes as planned. That’s why Bekins International experiences continued worldwide growth and continued customer satisfaction.

Key to a Successful Household Move...

A successful move starts with a solid planning and selecting the right movers. In a typical year, some 36 million people will relocate to a new home in a new city or town; many may even go out of state or across the country. It's not a quick process -- typical lead times are anywhere from 90 to 120 days.

Global Reach Feels at Home

Our move coordinators can help guide customers through the maze of questions and concerns during the moving process, which includes: information on the destination country, shipping regulations, climate, schools and education and much more. All of this information can be sent to the transferring family prior to the move to help them get acclimated before the movers arrive.

At Bekins International, our experience and quality are accessible to you, helping to make moving internationally as easy as possible.
