International Car Shipping: How To

Many people who intend to move over seas face a unique dilemma regarding their vehicle, especially if the vehicle still has a lien on it from a dealership. Aris Moving has a solution, and this article will provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide which outlines how to ship a car internationally. Common practice is for car owners to contract a international shipping  service which specializes in automobile shipping. The majority of cars ship out from San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Norfolk, and Jacksonville.  The process is incredibly involved- trying to handle all of the red tape associated with international car shipping on a "DIY" basis isnt recommended.

220V Appliances: What are They, and Why Do I Need One?

Posted on by in

What is a 220v appliance, and why do I need one?

"In most household circuits, 120 volts of electricity flows through the wires. This is enough energy to power most appliances, but large appliances like ovens need more volts to run. For these, homes have circuits capable of conducting 220 or (more commonly) 240 volts."

  If you have antiques, many valuable and/ or breakable items, collections, expensive car(s), lots of home appliances and items to disconnect and/ or dismantle will make your move more complicated. You can save yourself the time, effort and the obligation to cater for all of this and let the pros do the job. In this way there’ll be no lifting of heavy things, getting the hands dirty, hesitating about where to start with it all, how to do it, where to get the instruments or how to find the person to do a particular job, etc. There are moving companies that are able to provide you with handymen, a locksmith, a carpenter, etc. so you won’t have to go after those extra.

Posted on by in
Whether you’re in the military, retiring or studying abroad, or relocating overseas for a job, using self storage and following a few tried-and-true practices can make your move much easier. Determine your length of stay. If you’ll only be gone a couple months, you can probably get by with a traditional storage unit. But for longer stays, invest in a climate-controlled unit. Insure Yourself, and your items.  Protect your storage unit. Designate an at home contact in case of emergency0 obviously someone you know and trust. identify an alternate person that can access the space if need be. In other words, leave a key with your mom, sister or best friend—someone you trust that can check on your self-storage unit periodically and retrieve something from it if you need it. As the saying goes, if you can’t afford travel insurance you can’t afford to travel.
