Step 1 of 4: Move

Step 1: Move

First, the move itself

Start with the pickup and destination.

Street address is best, but a neighborhood works.

Even just the borough is fine if you're not sure yet.

Start with what you want to take with you

You may be taking a whole household or choosing a smaller set of belongings for the move abroad. We can review either. A free video or in-person survey helps us look at the contents and discuss the packing you need before the move is priced.

Kieran’s background includes 25 years in moving, shipping, storage and transportation logistics. Tell our team the destination city and country, the expected dates and which parts of the plan are still open. We will confirm the move we can arrange for that destination.

Understand the arrangement before making the booking

An overseas move needs a clear account of what is included and who is responsible for each stage. We will talk through the work Keepsake is doing in New York and the shipping being arranged for your destination.

Ask about the parts your own plans depend on, including timing and what happens at the destination. Those details need to be confirmed for your particular move. Send any building requirements for the New York pickup and we will coordinate the certificate of insurance directly with management.

Tell us where you are moving overseas

Start with the destination and the belongings you want to take. We can arrange a free survey and talk through the move from New York.

International moving FAQs

Which countries do you arrange moves to?

Tell us the destination city and country. We confirm whether we can arrange that particular move before you book; availability and timing need to be assessed for the route.

Can you pack the home for an overseas move?

Yes. We can pack selected rooms or the full home. We review the contents and list the agreed packing in the quote, including any pieces that need an individual assessment.

How is an international move priced?

The quote sets out the New York services and the shipping arrangement for your destination. The guaranteed flat price for Keepsake’s New York work applies to the scope listed; overseas arrangements are quoted for the particular move.

Who handles customs and requirements at the destination?

Responsibilities need to be confirmed for your route before booking. Give us the destination details and ask our team to explain what is included in the available arrangement and what you will need to organize.

Can I move a smaller shipment rather than the whole home?

Send an inventory of the belongings you want to take and the destination. We will assess whether we can arrange that shipment and explain the work involved.

Can you arrange storage before shipping?

Yes. Tell us when the New York property needs to be clear and the expected gap. We can confirm the available storage arrangement and how it fits with pickup and the next stage.
