A move abroad has more steps than a move across Nevada, and most of the questions are about order of events. These answers describe how an international move starts at the Reno end and where to look for official guidance.

Starting out

Does O'Brien's do international moves?

Yes. International moving is arranged through partner carriers, starting with a free in-home estimate.

Do I still get free boxes?

Yes. The in-home estimate includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep.

Can I get a quick idea of my move first?

Yes. Call 775-359-6683 for a phone ballpark, send an online request or book the in-home estimate.

Packing and storage

Is packing included?

Packing is a service you choose: full packing, partial packing or box packing only. The estimate lists what you picked.

Can my goods wait in storage?

Yes. Vault storage is available in the Sparks warehouse from $40 per month, and the storage page describes it.

Can special items be crated?

Yes. Custom crating suits art, glass, antiques and machinery, as explained on the crating page.

Official guidance

Where do I look up customs rules?

Use the destination country's customs agency. For the United States, U.S. Customs and Border Protection publishes the rules.

Is there a guide for moving to Canada or Mexico?

Yes. See the guides on moving to Canada and moving to Mexico.

Greg S.

3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
