We know it’s hard moving
to a new community, especially one outside the continental United
States.
Our job at Compass is to assist you with every aspect of your
move. For your convenience, we’ve
compiled the following tips. This information will help you
enjoy a seamless transition
to your new home.

Special
Instructions for your Move to/from Alaska:
Moving to Alaska is an exciting, dramatic change of life for
most people coming
from the “lower 48”. With their helpful people and majestic
scenery it is one of the
most beautiful and friendly places to call home. The severe
fluctuations in weather
can make it a challenge to plan your move at just the right
time of year. Let the
experience of Compass International Forwarding work for you.
Moving your Auto to/from Alaska:
Alaska has a well-developed transportation system for
shipping household goods
and vehicles. Although some goods are still trucked up the
Alaska Highway, most
are now delivered by container ship from West Coast ports to
the Inside Passage
and Anchorage. Families that don't want to drive from their
Lower 48 home can
have vehicle transporter companies cart it, first by truck
to the Seattle/Tacoma area,
then by ship to Anchorage.
Moving your
Pets to Alaska:
Pets can come with you on the plane, ferry or highway. There
are a few restrictions
for each method of travel, but basically you'll need a
health certificate supplied
from a veterinarian. Alaska doesn't have fleas, ticks or
domestic rabies.
Boarding kennels and veterinarians are available statewide.
