International relocations are, no doubt, very costly. If you don’t execute the process in the right way, then you could be in for a lot of trouble. There is a lot of uncertainty in an international relocation. You could err on a number of issues. And any such misstep could make your move a lot more expensive than it ideally should be. However, there are a lot of areas where you can save money. This blog outlines and discusses those very areas. Read this blog carefully if you want to make your international relocation less expensive.

1. Declutter your house and pack as few things as possible

If you declutter your house, you’ll find that you are holding many items that you don’t even need anymore. You may also find items that you won’t need in the country you are moving to. Say for instance, if you are moving to Canada from India, you won’t need the clothes that you bought to bear the 35°C temperatures of India because it simply doesn’t get that warm there. So spend some time in decluttering your house and discarding things you don’t need.

2. Sell anything and everything that you can

When you declutter your house, you’d find many things that you don’t need more but they still possess some monetary value. Sell all such items. It can be furniture, spare mobile phones, glassware, etc. All these items would bring in some cash when you sell them and you would also not struggle to find buyers for them. The extra cash inflow would help offset some of the expenses incurred on hiring international packers and movers and other international relocation related expenses.

3. Go for Groupage or Less than Container Load (LCL) shipment

Groupage shipment is a cost effective alternative to full container load shipment. In most cases, you would not possess a volume of belongings that need a full load of cargo to be shipped. Your belongings could fit into a section of the container and still leave room for other stuff. In such cases, (usually when the volume of your goods is less than 20 cubic meters), you should opt for an LCL shipment. As your load occupies less space, you’d have to shell out a lesser amount for transporting it. As simple as that!

4. Open an international bank account

The greatest benefit of holding an international bank account is that you could hold several different currencies simultaneously. You won’t need to convert your cash again and again and that will save you some money. When you move abroad, you earn in a foreign currency and that could complicate a lot of things. You may have to shell out a hefty amount regularly as ‘bank fees’ because you would make international transactions and make and accept payments in multiple currencies. This issue would be totally resolved by opening an international bank account.
