When facing a global relocation, you need more than just an international moving company—you need a reliable partner to guide you through the complexities and ensure a smooth transition. Corrigan Moving Systems simplifies the process by offering top-tier global relocation services. From multiple shipping options to comprehensive support, we ensure that every detail of your international move is expertly handled. You’ll be partnered with a dedicated Global Relocation Specialist, who will guide you through every step, ensuring your shipment clears customs and that all necessary paperwork is properly completed
What sets Corrigan apart from other international movers? For starters, we don’t just manage paperwork from behind a desk; we handle the entire process with our own international moving crews. With locations throughout the Great Lakes region, we take pride in overseeing both the labor and the coordination of your move. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain greater control over your experience and adapt quickly to global relocation trends.
Another key advantage of choosing Corrigan is our FIDI certification. As a FIDI-certified company, we adhere to FAIM Quality Standards—the strictest in the industry. An independent auditing firm regularly evaluates our services to ensure we meet these standards, a distinction held by only about 5% of all international moving companies. We’re proud to offer FIDI-certified locations in Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago.
If your shipment doesn’t require a full container, we offer less than container load (LCL) services. Your items will be professionally wrapped and protected by our international movers, then placed in a large, sealed, waterproof wooden box called a lift van. These lift vans are loaded into an overseas container along with others, ensuring secure and efficient transport.
For larger moves, we provide full container load (FCL) options. Depending on the size of your shipment, we’ll use either a 20-foot, 40-foot, or 40-foot high-cube container. Before loading, our team of international movers inspects the container for damage, sweeps it clean, and then loads your items directly at your home. Once packed, the container is sealed and remains so until it reaches your new home—unless customs requires an inspection
When speed is essential, we offer air shipment services. Although faster than ocean shipping, air shipments are more expensive, so many clients opt to send urgent items by air while the bulk of their belongings arrive via ocean freight. Our crews expertly pack your air shipment into industry-standard containers (E, D, and LDN) to maximize space and efficiency.
If you need to transport vehicles like cars or motorcycles internationally, Corrigan offers specialized shipping solutions to ensure your prized possessions arrive safely and on time.
Navigating customs paperwork can be daunting, but at Corrigan, we make it easy. Your Global Relocation Specialist will ensure your customs documentation is accurate and complete, helping you avoid costly delays or unnecessary inspections. With our extensive knowledge of customs regulations worldwide, we’ll make sure everything is in order, so your move goes off without a hitch.
Packing for an international move requires special attention to detail, and our team is specially trained in international packing standards. Our expert international movers carefully and densely pack your belongings to maximize safety and minimize shipping costs. Whether you need full packing or secure storage options, we ensure that every item is handled with the utmost care.
Moving your belongings across borders can be stressful, which is why we offer relocation insurance as an add-on option in your moving estimate. In the rare event that something is damaged during transit, we’ll either repair or replace the item with a comparable one, providing peace of mind throughout your journey.
Corrigan provided excellent communication and customer service from the beginning. They made sure to check in throughout my move, were receptive to my questions, took great care in handling my possessions and did what they’d say they’d do. The move went smoothly and stayed on schedule. Moves are stressful at best but Corrigan ensured that this aspect of the move was one less thing to have to worry about.
I was in charge of helping my mother-in-law move. Mike S at Corrigan who came out and did the estimating, did a great job helping explain the whole process to me since I had never done a cross country move. The whole process went so smoothly and everyone was so helpful and informative. I could not have been happier throughout this whole process.
No matter where you are, or where you are going, Corrigan Moving’s Great Lakes locations will take you wherever you want to move in the world.
