Packing                                             

     While the idea of packing your own belongings is tempting, sometimes it's better left to the professionals.  When we pack for you, your house is completely livable until the day before you move, and our professional moving cartons mean better loading and improved density, which saves space and money.

     When it comes to shipment protection, North American International's level of professionalism is unmatched.  The first step in protecting your shipment for the trip is proper packing.  When you choose to have a North American agent pack for you:

All packing materials and cartons are new.
All china, glass and crystal are individually wrapped prior to packing.
Cartons are taped across the top, bottom and all sides.
All rugs and carpets are rolled and wrapped.
Your name, room and contents are marked on each carton.
Skeleton or full crates are used on awkward or fragile pieces.

     At North American International, we specially train our staff on the safest way to pack - ensuring the safe transportation of your shipment.  That training allows us to minimize the likelihood of a damaged shipment, and ensures your total satisfaction.  Be aware that if you decide to pack your own belongings, we cannot be responsible for any damaged items.  For just pennies a pound, you can have North American's professional agents pack.

 Export Wrapping                                

     All items that are not suitable for packing will be export-wrapped for transport.  These items include furniture, large bulky pieces and large appliances.  These items are export wrapped as a standard and where items require additional protection, double wrapping and crating is performed.  Proper export wrapping requires the following steps:

All furniture is dismantled (if appropriate).
All nuts and bolts are put in a designated hardware box and marked on the inventory accordingly.
All furniture is wrapped with export wrapping material.
Corner pads are used to provide additional protection.
All paper pad seams are sealed using export vinyl tape.

 Getting the Most for Your Money        

     Whether you decide to pack your belongings yourself or leave it to our team of professionals, when determining the cost of your shipment, we consider the density - the combination of weight and cubic volume.

     Large, odd-shaped items decrease space-efficiency and increase the cubic volume of your shipment.  So, to minimize the cubic volume and keep your costs down, there are certain items which may not make sense to take.  

     For example:

Rattan/wicker
Large quantities of disposable diapers
Large plastic outdoor children's toys
Whenever possible, substitute lay-down wardrobe boxes for the stand-up style.

 Maximizing Cost-Efficiency                

     At North American International, we are available whenever and wherever you need us.  Our worldwide network of agents and corporate offices allow us to stay in close contact with you, answering questions and managing every stage of your move.

     Providing you with the most cost-effective delivery strategy for your shipment requires the combination of the latest technology with the most professional staff.  Our highly trained staff will calculate the best way to transport your shipment.

     In order to optimize cost-efficiency, we'll consider the following variables:

Method of transportation
Your final destination
How soon you'll need your shipment

     At North American International, we're committed to your total satisfaction - it's our goal.
