International Moving Services
State-to-state moving is one thing. Country-to-country moving requires a more experienced touch. Fortunately, iMoving can connect you with international movers who’ve been there before.
Let the Pros Handle the Hard Stuff
Crossing a border (or multiple borders) is a little more complicated than just moving across town. It takes paperwork, management, and knowledge of both your origin country, and your destination. Getting yourself packed is hard enough, so let the pros handle the hard stuff.
Knowledgeable Resources
International moving requires more savvy than your typical local or long distance haul. Your movers should know what to expect on both sides of the border. When we allow international moving companies to join our network, we make sure they know what they’re doing.
Full Coordination
Your international move may require multiple teams of packers, haulers, and unpackers. It’s a whole operation made of moving parts all over the world. All the more reason to use iMoving to book international movers who can coordinate and manage every single part of the process.

Customer Reviews
If you’re trusting someone to pack, load, and transport your stuff into a completely different country, they better be rated well on Yelp.
