Making Your Move To Mexico is Muey Bien

Let’s talk Mexico for a moment. All the headlines recently are about people moving north. But the fact is free-trade continues to result in high volume of both personal and corporate motivated household moves to Mexico. The list of pre-move planning considerations for those of you moving to Mexico is extensive.

Are you familiar with the “FM3” application? If you plan on staying in Mexico for more than 6 months at a time you will need an FM3. Are you married? Your FM3 better be in the husband’s name or plan on having your long wait ending with a stamp of rejection. Sorry, ladies, that’s just the way it is. Are you prepared and ready to produce a household goods inventory….In Spanish? The list of consideration goes on.

But fret not. Our experience and dedication with both short and long-term moves to Mexico will get you there, stress free, and muy rapido. It’s what we do.

Boston Movers! Take Special Care Packing Pictures, Records, and DVDs

The absolute greatest regret of self-packers and movers (or those served by poor quality moving firms) is irreparable damage to personal pictures, LP records, and family action motion video stored on DVD. These things are simply irreplaceable and must be given special attention during both your pack-out and physical move. Pack each of these media types vertically (rather than flat). Gravity and heat work together to threaten to warp electronic media and “weld” photos together. This is actually a more important consideration for every-day care than for during your move as warping usually happens slowly over time. This is never an issue for us. We always pack and transport treasured items in center position. Boxes in center position are surrounded on all sides and benefit from protective insulation. You should use this same technique when you personally transport treasured items. Our website is an incredible resource for a full-range of moving tips and reference resources. We encourage you to check them out and also check out our packing instructional videos. Feel free to call us Toll Free at (888) 673-4107 with questions.
