You can find international removal companies very easily from your home country. The Internet, the Yellow Pages (or the local version), and word-of-mouth are all very good ways of kick-starting your search.

Prices vary greatly, so like with everything else, do shop around for the best deal. You may, for instance, find one removal firm that will package and pack everything into cartons for you for the same price as another that will only pack them. Your home country removal company will work in partnership with one in Hong Kong, who will then deliver your possessions to you in Hong Kong.

When considering whether or not to insure your items, please investigate thoroughly before deciding to go ahead with this as it can be costly and you may find that you are unable to claim successfully in the event of loss or damage unless your container ends up at the bottom of the ocean.

International removal sites include:

• InternationalMovers: www.intlmovers.com
• MoverWorldWide: www.moverworldwide.com

You can contact a company from Hong Kong directly as well. Don’t forget that in this case you have 2 choices, from where you depart or where you arrive to:

• Allied Hong Kong : www.alliedpickfords.com.hk
• Asian Express movers: www.aemovers.com.hk

But again, do check yourself what is available in your country/area.
