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.

Ralph enjoyed his new retired life on his vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina

Moving Abroad? K International Presents: House Hunters International: Australia

House Hunters International is a popular program that follows couples on their house hunt in various international destinations.  Sometimes working at K International Transport can feel like an episode of House Hunters.  What furniture will the customer bring to their new home?  Can they  fit all their furniture inside the container...and their new house?  What is the best way to ship their two cars?  How to politely tell your customer they cannot ship 100 gallons of fuel or they might be held liable for blowing up a $100 million ship?

Nonetheless, we enjoy working with our customers as they plan for their next exciting adventure in their new home.  Therefore, we decided to provide international shipping assistance to our blog world friends with a poignant story about a couple moving to Australia: Jacob and Emily.

Jacob and Emily were originally from Chicago, and while they normally enjoyed the cold winters they longed for warmth, sunshine and a change of scenery.

Jacob loved Chicago...but he was tired of the cold winters

After searching and finally securing a job in sunny Brisbane, Australia, Jacob and Emily were ready for their big move.  This is when they decided to contact K International Transport to assist with all their international shipping services needed to move abroad to Australia.

A week before they moved, Jacob and Emily wanted to load their 2 bedroom Chicago apartment in a 40'HC shipping container to Australia.  Jacob also wanted to send his 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to Brisbane, we told him it was no problem, we have inexpensive and reliable international car shipping services to Australia.  We also have a lot of experience shipping classic cars like Chevrolet Corvette's to Australia.   

Right on time one week before they started their new life, K International was able to pick up Jacob's Corvette and bring the 40' container to their door in Chicago.  Jacob and Emily loaded all of their furniture and other personal belongings they needed for their new home in Brisbane, Australia in the container.   Luckily they didn't have to worry about packing their down jackets...but they did invest in some new surfboards...

Jacob and Emily no longer needed their winter jackets...fashionable in Chicago, but not so much in Australia

K International let Jacob and Emily know it would take approximately 50-65 days before their furniture and surf boards would arrive in Australia.  Jacob and Emily figured this would give them plenty of time to look for a new house in Australia.  After meeting their real estate agent Ruby,  Jacob and Emily were on their way to looking at new houses.

The first place was an apartment in Brisbane.  Although near the center of the city, they realized it would be too small to fit their new surfboards and all their furniture loaded inside their shipping container.  Emily cried out to Jacob, "This bedroom won't fit our king sized bed, dresser and side tables...let's look at the next place."

Emily thought of all the items they were shipping to Australia and she knew this apartment was too small to fit all their stuff

The second place was a small house close to the beaches of Brisbane.  While Emily loved that she could walk outside and get a tan.  Jacob was afraid the house would one day flood and wash away.  He didn't want to lose all of the beautiful furniture he bought over from the United States....

While Jacob felt secure in the international cargo shipping insurance he purchased for his furniture, he wasn't sure about the insurance policies in Australia if he lost his house...

The third place was a house not far from the city center, and not too far from the beach.  The house had plenty of sunlight and was big enough to fit all their furniture.  Jacob and Emily instantly felt at home and were excited to start their new life in Brisbane.

This house was just perfect for Jacob and Emily, they were excited to start their new life in Australia

50 Days later their furniture and car arrived safely in Australia.  Jacob and Emily were elated; they loved their new home in Australia and because of K International Transport their new surfboards and furniture arrived safely.

Surf's Up!  Now Jacob could truly enjoy living in Australia
