"Yes! If you have a company that you can trust like House Movers, you can move your items nationally or internationally safely and professionally."

"in terms of moving items from one country to an other, my opinion is to use a national removal company. They have a larger fleet of vans and more handyman available, together with an insurance to cover the goods/persons."

"It depends if you have really valuable items so incase they are damaged the nation company's will offer insurance that's why they are more expensive than a local one"
