Domestic or International Moving
Planning a move across the country or overseas for work, study, or a seasonal relocation? The UPS Store offers a convenient solution for shipping your belongings.
We can help you ship multiple boxes internationally or within Canada. Simply call us for expert advice on packing, completing customs forms, and choosing the right shipping options for your valuable personal items.
Smart Shipping Tips:
- Avoid shipping liquids and flammable materials.
- Do not ship knives or sharp objects that could damage packaging and pose a risk.
- Protect clothing from moisture by using bags.
- Cushion fragile items generously with bubble wrap and other packing materials.
- Inform us about any lithium-ion batteries or hazardous materials in your shipment. Please check with the store for restrictions on specific items before shipping.
- Keep boxes manageable for one person to carry. For heavier items like books, divide them into multiple smaller boxes.
- Always place a sheet of paper with your address and phone number INSIDE each box.
- Securely tape all boxes, preferably using sturdy or double-walled cardboard boxes.
Moving to the United States?
If you’re relocating to the U.S., it’s important to plan ahead. Call us today to get started. We also recommend visiting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website for detailed information on shipping used personal items.
Generally, you’ll need to provide proof of your U.S. residency status (e.g., Student Visa, Work Visa, Green Card, U.S. Passport) along with U.S. CBP form 3299 ( cbp_form_3299_0 ) and a copy of your passport.
For non-U.S. citizens, please note that you must be physically present in the U.S. to receive unaccompanied household goods. If you’re traveling to the U.S. for the first time with a residency permit, you can only ship your items after your arrival. Contact our team for further details and information about short-term suitcase storage at our location.
If you are moving to the United states please prepare ahead of time and call us today.
