Retiring Abroad - Let us ship your things internationally!

If you have finished with your time in the United States and want to return to your country or go to another for retirement K International can help you move your householdgoods and vehicles overseas. K International Transport can place a shipping container at your location so you can load your personal belongings into it for ocean transportation. If you are shipping a vehicle as well, there are a few different ways it can be accomplished. Most commonly the vehicle is loaded, blocked and braced into the container by a licensed warehouse first, and then you may fill the rest of the container with your personal effects. You may also put items inside a vehicle that is shipped by container (if you ship your vehicle Roll On / Roll Off service, only items pertaining to the car may be inside it when delivered to the port for loading.

Choose your dream retirement location, and let us help you get there!

Recently we helped ship a 40' container full of a person's possessions from their home in the Northeastern United States to Brazil. The two options for trucking are live load or drop and pick. A live load is when the trucker who brought the container to your location waits until loading is completed and then returns the container to the pier. This option is only economical when loading can be completed in a relatively short amount of time since most truckers only give 2 free hours for loading and then charge anywhere from $50 to $100 an hour after that. Our customer moving to Brazil decided on the second option, drop and pick, since they knew it would take quite a while to load all of their possessions into a 40’ container. Drop and pick usually costs around twice as much as live-load, since the trucker will have to make two separate round-trips to your location, but if you need a lot of time to load the container, it is still cheaper.

Using a trusted international shipping company like K International Transport to arrange the shipment of your household goods and furniture overseas will pay off in peace of mind.

K International Presents a House Hunters International Scenario: International Moving Services -Retiring in Argentina

In the United States the normal retiring age is 67, but if you are one of the lucky few who saved enough money to retire at 60 and now need to get over the "empty nest syndrome" a move overseas might be an exciting adventure!  And to help our "empty nest" plagued customers we offer some of the best international shipping services for customers looking to move to a new country.  Based on a similar scenario, we present our version of House Hunters International: Moving to Wine Country -  Argentina. 

Ralph and Edna were a retired couple from Pennsylvania.  After raising three children and working for most of their lives they decided they needed a change in scenery.  Ralph and Edna always dreamed of owning their own winery and growing grapes on a big vineyard.  They decided, why move to California and grow grapes when we can live in one of the world's grape growing capitals - Mendoza, Argentina.

Edna and Ralph were bored with sitting around and watching tv.  They decided to start a new life as wine growing expats in beautiful Argentina.

Since Edna and Ralph had lived in the same house for over 30 years, they had no idea how to move all their stuff...especially moving overseas to a new country!  Their oldest child Ralph Jr. helped them locate the best international shipping company specializing in helping people move abroad from the USA.  Edna and Ralph decided to give K International a call immediately.  They indicated they needed help shipping their three bedroom home from Pennsylvania, USA to their new place in Argentina.  Ralph enjoyed his vintage truck collection and wanted help with international automobile shipping services for his vintage 1937 Studebaker pickup truck and his 1940 Ford pickup truck.  K International recommended shipping his trucks to his door in Mendoza, Argentina inside a 40' container to protect them.  Edna wanted to bring along all of her antique furniture and her knitting collection.  K International assured her they would be able to fit all of their furniture, knitting equipment, clothing, books and more inside a container and ship it to Mendoza, Argentina.

Ralph didn't want to depart with his vintage truck collection.  He trusted K International to provide him with the best  classic and vintage international car shipping service.

 A few weeks before K International was scheduled to load their container with their furniture, books, and knitting equipment at their house in Pennsylvania for international moving services and overseas shipping to Argentina, Ralph and Edna made the trip to beautiful Mendoza to find the perfect vineyard.  Ralph and Edna made sure to give their real estate agent a list of what they were looking for: a few acres of land to grow their grapes, a big enough house to fit their antique furniture, a room for Edna to continue her knitting, and a safe and secure garage to fit Ralph's collection of vintage trucks.  Their real estate agent got right to work and showed them their first house.  A large property in the hillside of Mendoza.  The property was a good size, but they were too close to their neighbors and felt their beautiful view was blocked.

The first house in Argentina had plenty of land, but was too close to their neighbors who blocked their view.

Ralph and Edna's real estate agent took them to the second house, a property also located in the hillside grape region of Mendoza.  This property had splendid views but was much smaller than the first place and Ralph was concerned the garage wasn't good enough for his vintage pickup trucks.

The second house had good views, but not enough land or space.  Ralph and Edna decided to keep looking.

The real estate agent took Ralph and Edna to another house up in the hills of Mendoza.  The house already had a vineyard with grapes growing, had the garage Ralph was looking for and enough bedrooms for Edna to turn one into her knitting room.  They instantly fell in love and put an offer in immediately.  After getting the house, Ralph and Edna flew back to Pennsylvania to start packing their house and begin their new expat life.  K International picked up Ralph's vintage trucks via an enclosed car carrier and had them carefully loaded inside a container for international automobile container shipping service.  K International then had a truck bring their container to their house for them to load all their furniture and knitting equipment for overseas container moving service to Mendoza, Argentina.

A few weeks later Ralph and Edna's furniture and trucks arrived to Mendoza with no problems.  Ralph and Edna were happy with the expert international shipping services they received while moving abroad.  They were able to easily settle into their new life in Argentina.
