How can we minimise delays at destination?

A question closely linked to both timing and client experience: What helps keep deliveries on track once a shipment arrives?

In our experience, delays are often not caused by transport, but by readiness at destination.
Important factors include:
- Client availability for delivery
- Access to the property
- Completed documentation
- Local registration (where applicable)

What helps avoid delays?
- Early alignment with the client
- Clear scheduling between partners
- Confirming all requirements before arrival

When all elements come together, deliveries can move forward efficiently and without additional handling or storage. It’s the combination of logistics and preparation that makes relocations successful.

Transit times in Europe – short-distance zones

A question we often receive from partners:
What are realistic transit times for shorter-distance European relocations? To support accurate planning, we work with a structured zone-based transit time matrix.

📍 Zone 1–3
👉 1 to 4 weeks (after customs clearance)

Zone 1: The Netherlands
Zone 2: Belgium & Germany
Zone 3: Austria, Croatia, Denmark, France (above Basel), Monaco, Switzerland, UK (above Manchester)

Why this matters
Even within shorter-distance lanes, timelines depend on:
- Cross-border coordination
- Local delivery access
- Scheduling availability

Using defined zones helps set realistic expectations from the start.

Can clients include alcohol in their shipment to Europe?

A question we regularly receive from partners:
Can clients include liquor or alcohol in their household goods shipment?

The short answer:
👉 Yes, this is possible, but it requires careful planning.

What we typically see
A small quantity of alcohol for personal use is generally not an issue, provided it is clearly declared. However, regulations can vary depending on the destination country within Europe, and requirements are often stricter than expected.

What is important to consider
To avoid complications, we strongly recommend:
✔ Sharing full details of the alcohol before shipment, including:
- Type of alcohol
- Quantity
- Alcohol percentage
✔Aligning early with the destination agent on country-specific requirements

What happens if this is not aligned?
Depending on the destination, the shipment may need to be:
- Formally cleared at destination
- Subject to duties and taxes
- Handled by specialised clearance partners

This can result in:
- Additional costs
- Longer clearance timelines
- Potential delivery delays

Our recommendation
Early transparency and coordination make a significant difference. With the right information upfront, we can:
- Assess feasibility
- Provide clear guidance
- Support a smooth and compliant import process

The office was filled with an amazing variety of traditional favourites, including butter chicken, vetkoek, biltong, samoosas, pastries, desserts, and many other delicious dishes. More than just a feast, the day was a celebration of the diverse cultures, traditions, and stories that make South Africa so unique.

Holiday shipping: The countdown starts sooner than you think

Christmas may feel far away, but for international household goods shipments, the festive season often arrives well before December.

As carriers, ports, warehouses, and customs authorities begin preparing for year-end schedules, shipping capacity can tighten and flexibility becomes increasingly important.
What we're already discussing with clients:
✔️ Earlier packing and loading dates
✔️ Destination holiday schedules
✔️ Customs and delivery timeframes
✔️ Backup plans for critical move dates

Partner Insight: The smoothest year-end moves are usually the ones that start being planned before the holiday rush begins. A conversation in September can help avoid challenges in December.

How far in advance do your clients typically start planning their year-end relocations?

| Meet Annisa

What starts as a study abroad experience can sometimes turn into a life-changing journey.
When Annisa moved from Indonesia to the Netherlands in 2018, her goal was clear: pursue a Master's degree in Tourism, Society and Environment at Wageningen University. Drawn by the Netherlands' strong reputation for sustainability, environmental studies and international education, she saw an opportunity to combine her interest in tourism with broader societal and environmental challenges.

Like many expats, Annisa experienced the challenges and rewards of adapting to a new culture. Living and studying in an international environment taught her independence, resilience and adaptability. It also introduced her to different perspectives that continue to shape the way she approaches both work and life today.

One of the biggest lessons came from adapting to Dutch culture and the workplace.
"Dutch culture taught me to be more direct, open to feedback and confident in expressing my own opinion. Those experiences helped me grow both personally and professionally."

In 2023, Annisa joined Schmidt Global Relocations as a Move Manager. Today, she is a Team Leader, supporting colleagues and helping our clients navigate their own international journeys. Looking back, what started as an academic decision became the foundation for a career, personal growth and a new home.
"Moving here for my studies became much more than an academic journey. The Netherlands has become a place where I built my career, developed as a person and created a life of my own."

At Schmidt, we know that every relocation story is unique. Annisa's journey is a wonderful example of how embracing new experiences can open doors to unexpected opportunities.

Thank you for sharing your story, Annisa.

As summer comes to an end, many organisations shift their attention to workforce planning, budget forecasting, and strategic priorities for the year ahead. This makes September one of the most important months for HR leaders, Global Mobility teams, and business decision-makers to start planning international relocations.

The demand for global talent continues to grow. According to the Worldwide ERC®, more than 70% of organisations expect employee mobility to remain the same or increase as businesses expand into new markets and compete for specialised talent.

At the same time, international assignments remain a critical business tool. Research from KPMG shows that global mobility programmes are increasingly being used to support skills gaps, leadership development, and business growth objectives, rather than simply filling temporary vacancies.

So why do many companies begin relocation planning in September?
✅ Prepare for January start dates
Many international assignments, leadership relocations, and project deployments are scheduled to begin in January. Starting the process in September allows sufficient time for immigration, housing, shipment scheduling, and destination services.
✅ Avoid year-end bottlenecks
Visa processing, housing availability, and moving capacity can become more constrained during the final quarter of the year. Early planning helps organisations secure preferred timelines and reduce operational risk.
✅ Support employee experience
Employee wellbeing remains a key concern. According to Cartus' Global Mobility Survey, organisations continue to place greater emphasis on family support, destination services, and employee experience during relocations. Providing employees with more preparation time can significantly reduce relocation-related stress and improve assignment success.
✅ Improve budget control
As businesses start forecasting for the next financial year, September offers an ideal opportunity to assess upcoming mobility requirements and accurately budget for assignments, transfers, and international moves.
✅ Align talent mobility with business strategy
Whether supporting expansion into new markets or moving key talent to strategic locations, early planning ensures mobility programmes are aligned with organisational goals and workforce needs.

Looking ahead starts now
International relocation is no longer simply about moving people from one location to another. It is an essential part of workforce strategy, talent development, and business growth. Organisations that begin planning in September gain greater flexibility, improved cost control, and a smoother experience for relocating employees and their families.

At Schmidt Global Relocations, we help businesses plan and manage international moves with confidence, ensuring employees are supported every step of the journey.

How is your organisation preparing for its 2027 mobility needs?

Did you know that the timing of an import container can directly impact costs?

In the Netherlands, clients need to be registered at the municipality before their shipment can be cleared under the correct conditions.
If a shipment arrives too early, this can lead to:
- Duties and taxes
- Storage and handling costs

Aligning shipment timelines with the client’s readiness is key to avoiding these challenges. A small detail in planning, with a big impact on the overall relocation experience.
