Hi,
We are planning to move to India from Dallas in 3-4 mos. We have no clue as to which company to use. We did some research online but is quite confusing. Anyone has any positive or negative experience with any international moving company? Please advice.
We have been downsizing for the last 6 mos: sold our house from 3 bedrooms down to a 1 bedroom apartment. We are not really taking any furniture with us. We don't really know if we should even have a cargo or just send our belongings in boxes via postal services??

try seven sea company from california,
you will also need transfer of residence from govt of india if your move is not temp to avoid custom. Is your move business or personal.
There could be other tax related issues down the road.
I was once planning to move permamnently but had to shelve my plan.

Hi, we're moving from Dallas to India as well. Which cargo company did you end up using? Thanks!

I found the shipping company through this site http://us.tellus.com/em2/index.htm
We received quotes for timeline & ocean freight per CBM from different vendors. However we could go no further, the pre packed shipment that was stored with a company in Bangalore is still stuck with them due to a dispute on extraneous charges piled on to the original cost and quote given to us.
C'est la vie, good luck with the moving.
If you need more info please feel free to email me.

You made a very wise decision. Business class fare will give you an allowance of 2 suitcases 30 Kg each. It will offset the cost of cargo and Postal service and you will have a comfortable 20 hr. flight. On arrival they screen everyone's baggage to search for Satelite phones etc :) D :<
But it is want it is.

Hi,

I recently moved from California to Mumbai with acclaimedmovers.com. Everything went very smoothly and I would highly recommend this company for overseas move. We moved a 3-bedroom apartment and used a whole 20-ft container. The moving team was very nice, efficient and careful. Nothing was damaged during the move. All the administrative process also went very smoothly thanks to the people at Acclaimed Movers. The move was also cheaper with Acclaimed Movers than with other companies, yet the quality of service was first rate. They were also very responsive to my frequent emails and questions. Overall, an excellent experience. Great job!
