The Move |
|
The
Initial Consultation
An Omega representative will provide an initial telephone consultation
and we will gladly give you advise and guidance, as well as
an estimate of moving costs and ways in which you can minimize
those costs. A trained representative will come to your home
at your convenience for a free estimate. This is all without
any obligation whatsoever on your part. |
|
Preliminary
Packing
Prior to moving day, you will be involved in preliminary packing
( the consolidation and packing of your belongings mostly unbreakable
such as linens, books, pots, toys, etc.) into cartons which
Omega will supply. On moving day our
professional team of packers will arrive at your home with
specially designed cartons, padded materials and, if necessary,
custom-built boxes to safety pack your furniture, the remainder
of goods, including breakables. |
|
Secondary
Packing
Omega will build heavy-duty
"lift-vans" which are custom-made boxes designed to
the size specifications of your shipment. These super-strong
boxes resist all handling incurred in route to your new destination.
All of your goods are packed into wooden, steel-strapped lifts,
where they are safely kept until at your destination. |

at the Destination |

Off
the Ship
Following the departure
from your local port of exit, our services continue in the country
of your destination. As an agent of Mayflower International,
with over 600 agents and affiliates worldwide, we are able to
coordinate the move and pave the way for smooth customs clearance
and expeditious service. Once the shipment is cleared, our agent
will make arrangements for the delivery of your goods to your
new home, office or venue. |

Clearing

country you are moving to, you will need some or all of the
following documents in order to clear customs: |
|
 |

|
Immigrant Certificate |

Detailed packing list with

Ways
to Save
One if the best ways to
save on moving is selective packing. Will that king-sized bedroom
set fit your new home aboard? Will that appliance work on the
electrical current in your new home? Will you be able to get
spare parts for it? These are
questions you should ask, and your Omega representative will
help you answer them. He knows which appliances will work
and whether they would be cheaper to replace here or overseas.
He can even arrange for the appliances you buy here to be
delivered directly to the Omega warehouse for shipping. Omega
will take the best possible care of your belongings, using
sophisticated security measures at our warehouses.

Insurance
There are times when for reasons beyond our
control (i.e. acts of God, fire, hijacking, etc.) when your
goods may be damaged or lost. For this reason we suggest you
always insure your goods with an " All Risk, Door to Door
Marine insurance" policy which should take effect on the
date which your goods arrive at our warehouse facilities. (Note:
The All Risk Marine Insurance includes war insurance, which
covers hijackings.) While the cost of insurance is not covered
by our estimate, your Omega representative will be glad to guide
you in the matter. Remember, always
insure your goods for the amount of money it would cost to
replace then in the country you are moving to. Costs overseas
are often mush higher than in the United States. |
