Movers

Choose an international mover company. It will take about 3 ou 4 weeks to your furniture to arrive at destination. At last, know that the transportation could not exceed 2 months (longest delay for the Pacific, by boat). There's always the air option... but prices fly a bit high.

There's lots of international mover company, so try to get a list of reliable professionals by the chamber of commerce (maybe). In France, you'll get this list by the union chamber of international movers (www.csdemenagement.fr)
Internet, Yellow Pages, and word of mouth are great way to start your search.

Different kinds of service are available : Mover company can take charge of the whole moving, that is packing, loading, unloading and unpacking of all your goods.  Or you can pack and unpack yourself, and then make a substantial saving as selecting among your belongings!

Fees may vary hugely, so, like for any other thing, it's better to have choices and be sure to have the better deal. To choose your movers,  it's better to  make use of competition. Take appointment with at least 3 companies to compare quotations (that what HR of big international companies advocate).

Your quotation, drawn up during the technical visit, is free and must include :
volume of your goods
loading and forwarding addresses
dates
transportation mode
transportation distance
service details
estimated and declared values of your goods
evaluated cost and payment terms
general terms and conditions of sale

The D-Day :
You'd have written on each box what's inside, in that way, it'll be easier to find things at your new place. Most of all, you'd have set by keys, ID papers, administrative papers, personal luggages, and all papers concerning your moving, to avoid them to be taken by mistake ! Finally, once loading is done, check that ALL is in before the moving van leaving.
Don't forget to collect your loading goods list. That'll be useful for any loss or damage.
