Moving internationally is considerably more complicated than moving domestically, especially when you’re talking about moving to San Diego from the UK.

At Eckert’s Moving and Storage, we’ll help you make that transition a reality with an international move to San Diego from the British Isles.
How does an international relocation differ from moving domestically?
When it comes to moving, you may be thinking that moving is moving regardless of the origination point and final destination. However, you’d be making a faulty assumption. Moving internationally is way different from moving domestically. Knowing how these types of moves differ will save you lots of frustration and stress in the long run. Here are a few things to be aware of:
- Moving internationally involves more planning – moving domestically is far less difficult than moving to San Diego from the UK. This is because international moves involve different transport methods including shipping by boat.
- Moving internationally may require getting rid of some of your belongings – it’s a safe bet that you won’t be able to bring everything you own with you. Thus, you’ll need to determine what you cannot live without and what you can leave behind.
- Moving internationally requires the assistance of professional movers – if you needed repairs on your luxury vehicle, would you take it to some unlicensed tech or mechanic? The same holds true when relocating internationally. And that’s where Eckert’s Moving and Storage can help.
