10 Tips for Shipping To India:

1. Reduce the stress of shipping to India by planning 3 – 6 months ahead. Start by finding a good place to live. Then shortlist good schools for your kids and secure your job. Don’t underestimate the commute. Click here for a detailed move checklist.

2. If you have children, address their concerns with the big move. Their world is about to change too. The psychological & emotional aspects will depend on their age. Click here for tips on moving to India with children.

3. Deliberate on what you want to ship vs. sell or donate. The cost of living has gone up considerably in India. Quality furniture and TVs are more expensive in India. You may be better off shipping your items in most cases. Click here for an informative blog on the subject.

4. Hire only a licensed & reputable international shipping company. Click here for tips on how to choose a reputed mover.

5. It’s good to shop for the best price. But don’t pick a company only because their rates are the cheapest. Don’t negotiate too hard. Remember, cheap is not always best. The industry is infamous for scammers who bait you with low quotes. Once they have your cargo, they will tag hidden charges to your final bill. If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”. – Benjamin Franklin

6. Hire professionals for packing if you can. Use only heavy duty boxes if you are packing on your own. Click here for tips on packing.

7. Always insure your shipment for peace of mind. Click here for more information on insurance.

8. Be patient if you are shipping by sea. Sea shipping is among the slowest modes of transport. Ships can sometimes arrive late. Be prepared for unforeseen delays due to weather, port congestion, etc. Give yourself an ample buffer. Plan your temporary accommodation in advance.

9. Buy a step down transformer with the right voltage for your US TV. Most NTSC TVs work in India with a NTSC to Pal converter. Click here for an article on how to make US based TVs work in India.

10. Last but not least, know your rights and responsibilities. Read this brochure on the Federal Maritime Commission’s website.
