Can my possessions be stored temporarily?

If you are unable to take immediate possession of your new residence, your belongings can be stored in a local Allied agent's warehouse. Allied agents throughout the world provide safe storage facilities for holding your goods until you're ready for them. However, you are responsible for the storage charges, as well as warehouse handling and final delivery charges from the warehouse. If your goods are placed in storage, there will also be an additional charge for the valuation or insurance coverage provided for your shipment. The type of coverage and cost will depend upon whether the shipment is held in temporary or long-term storage.

If you require long-term storage of your goods while you are overseas, Allied International has safe, secure storage facilities for your convenience. Typically, a company's relocation policy has an allowance for storage.

An alternative to storage is selling or donating those items you won't need or use at your destination. It may be cost-effective to get rid of those items prior to your move. You can use the money you've saved somewhere else.
