# 1 Get organised early to avoid challenges
According to the Crown team, due to the challenging (and changing!) nature of this year’s coronavirus pandemic, booked moves may potentially be postponed or cancelled. This means getting organised is of utmost importance. So, now is a good time to start getting quotes from professional international movers and understanding the estimated shipping times and worst-case scenarios.
It’s also timely to do some research about what you can and can’t take with you. Don’t wait for the last minute to find out whether your television or other electronic devices will work in your new country. The situation varies from country to country, and you might need to sell some belongings – so get started.
