WHY UNIVERSAL RELOCATIONS?
Shipping To Canada
Universal Relocations was established in 1998. In the very early years, we concentrated on developing our international moving business. We moved Corporate Expatriates and Diplomats from a wide range of business sectors. And we’re still working with many of those clients today.
Shipping to Canada from India
- Research and Reviews : Start by checking online reviews and ratings on trusted platforms like Trustpilot and Google. Customer feedback can give you valuable insights into a company’s service quality. You can also ask for recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have recently relocated.
- Movers And Packers To Canada : Finding the right movers and packers requires careful research. Browse online listings, check advertisements, or get references from friends or employers. Shortlist moving companies based on their credentials, online reputation, and infrastructure. Universal Relocations stands out among competitors by excelling in all these aspects — ensuring a reliable and professional moving experience.
- Experience : Select a company that specializes in international moves and has a proven track record. Experienced movers are better equipped to handle customs regulations, logistics, and documentation efficiently.
- Accreditations : Always request quotes from multiple companies. A reliable mover will provide a detailed written estimate after inspecting your belongings. Be cautious of unusually low prices, as they may indicate hidden costs or poor service.
- Insurance Options : Confirm the availability of insurance coverage for your goods during transit. Proper insurance ensures peace of mind in case of damage or loss during the move.
- Storage Options : If there’s a delay between your departure and arrival, check if the mover provides secure storage facilities to keep your belongings safe until delivery.
- Communication : Clear and prompt communication is vital throughout the moving process. Choose a company that keeps you updated regularly and is easy to reach at every stage.
- Inventory List : A professional mover will create a comprehensive inventory of your belongings before packing. This helps ensure every item is accounted for during shipping and delivery.
- Contracts : Before signing any agreement, read the contract carefully. Understand the terms and conditions, including cancellation policies, additional fees, and timelines.
TYPE OF SHIPMENTS
Shipments can be classified into FCL (Full Container Load, also known as Half a Container, 20ft, and 40ft Containers), LCL (Less than Container Load), baggage shipment, and air freight. You may choose to either ship a full house, move part of your goods, or just ship a few boxes. Universal Relocations will create a tailor-made proposal based on your requirements. We have five offices in the USA, five offices in India, and one office in Dubai, UAE. With nearly 26 years of industry experience, we understand the importance of each move and what it means to the moving family.
Years of Experience
RECOMMENDED THINGS TO SHIP
We recommend that shipping of LED Televisions, leather furniture, love seats, beds, mattresses, electronic items (i.e.: music system, home theatre etc.) are worthwhile items to ship considering the huge cost in India and at the same time due to the sentimental value attached for having used it for so long. Items like TVs and other electronic goods can be shipped, but a step-down transformer needs to be bought in India for converting from 110 Volts to 220 Volts. For some TVs, you also need to buy an NTSC and PAL Converter.
Exemption from Duty Under TR (Transfer of Residence) Eligibility
All Used Items more than 1 Year – Furniture, Clothes, Bags, Books, Shoes, Kitchen Appliances, Utensils, Washing Machine, Refrigerator less than 200 Ltrs, 1 Laptop, 1 Desk Top Computer.
DEPRECIATION
In case a person knows the rate of duty for a particular item, it's easy to calculate the duty that will be charged. However, for used items the value is determined by allowing depreciation on a yearly basis. Normally depreciation would be calculated as:
