If you're like many people around the world who have relocated to different countries or continents, you're probably aware of the challenges. You may be moving to retire and live less expensively in a tropical paradise, or maybe you're relocating for work. You also might be moving just because you found the perfect place where you've decided you want to settle. It can be a very exciting and highly rewarding experience, but it's surely not without its setbacks. From legal documents regarding visas and citizenship, to banking, investments, and finding & securing property, there's no shortage of hoops to jump through. Moving overseas requires some definite patience. On the other hand, if you know what you're doing, you can streamline your international relocation and reduce the headaches.

 

As specialists in international relocation, 220 Electronics offers services that cater to a rather important part of your move. As a global retailer of electronics and home appliances, we are constantly helping people who are planning to relocate or have already done so.

 

You might be asking what electronics and appliances has to do with relocation, so let's answer that question for you in the simplest way possible.

 

220 Volt Electronics and Appliances

Around the world, different countries and continents use varying voltages of electricity for both residential and commercial services. In the US and North America, the standard is 120 volt electricity. In turn, all major electronics and appliances are designed to operate with 120 volt electricity. However, in Europe, for example, the standard voltage is 220 volts, where all electronics and appliances are designed for 220 volt use.

 

What does it all mean? Well; you can't simply pack up your existing electronics and appliances and take them overseas with you. Furthermore, certain electronics such as TVs operate with specific color formats to display the picture and these formats vary from country to country. Others items such as Blu-ray Players are only compatible with discs purchased in the same region as the player, which means that you cannot play European or Asian discs on your North American Blu-ray Player. It actually gets quite complicated, but that's exactly what we're here for - to simplify things for you.

 

We specialize in the sales and shipment of 220 and 240 volt appliances, multisystem tvs, region-free blue-ray players and more. From kitchen appliances to 220 volt major appliances like refrigerators, freezers, washers & dryers and more.

Around the world in practically any country or culture, the kitchen is one of the most cherished and used spaces in the home. From preparing a pot of coffee before heading out to work to making your mom's secret chili recipe, we spend a lot of time in our kitchens. We eat there, we socialize there, and we read the Sunday newspaper there over juice and donuts.

 

The kitchen is usually the most centralized part of the home and so it only makes sense that it's well-equipped. Most of us have an array of tools and gadgets in our kitchens that we use for food preparation - blenders, grinders, coffee pots, mixers, slow cookers, can openers, microwaves, toasters, waffle irons, etc. - the list goes on and on. Some of these things get more use than others, but they're always there when we need them. There's a certain level of comfort knowing that we have the tools for the job, no matter how big or small.

 

Now let's fast forward a moment to your retirement in a foreign country, or your 2-year work contract overseas, your new expatriate life in the Philippines or the cozy apartment you bought in London. If you're coming from North America, surely you'll need to populate your new kitchen with all the necessary gadgets and tools, right? You could always bring them overseas with you, but these items can add up quick and it's not always practical to pay for extra luggage on a 16 hour flight. Do you really want to travel with an extra 2 suitcases awkwardly packed with bulky items like a toaster, a juicer, pressure cooker, or a food dehydrator? Probably not. And if you did bring them, you'll have to use a voltage converter to properly use them since most foreign countries operate at 220-volt electricity which your American appliances are not designed for.

 

Surely there's an easier solution, right? Of course there is.

If you're relocating overseas, you're probably no stranger to the fact that it involves a lot of planning and preparation. Aside from dealing with passports, visas, banking and securing a home in a foreign country, you'll still have to furnish your new living space and prepare to make the transition into your new home. One of the most tiresome things about a foreign relocation is the initial adjustments and creating a space that genuinely feels like home. You can expect to spend a good amount of time and money shopping for necessities such as beds, appliances, electronics and more - all of which can be a bit overwhelming in an unfamiliar place. On the other hand, there are options to simplify this process and streamline your transition.

 

What many people aren't familiar with is the fact that in different regions the world, a different standard is utilized when it comes to electricity. By now - if you're planning an international relocation - you might be familiar with the voltage issue; if not, read on.

 

In the United States and North America, we use a 120-volt electrical standard. This means that the electricity in our homes & businesses is fed to us at 120 volts, and subsequently, all of the electronics sold in North America are designed to operate at 120 volts. In other regions such as Europe or Asia, the standard voltage is 220 volts and all electronics are manufactured to operate at that voltage. To keep the explanation as simple as possible, electronics can only operate at the voltage they were designed for. Any attempt to use an electronic device with a electrical voltage higher or lower than it was designed for will not only damage the device, but pose an immediate risk of electrical shock or fire. In other words, you cannot simply take your electronics with you and use them in any foreign country.

 

In order to minimalize the stress and hassle of shopping for appliances and electronics in a foreign country where the prices may be higher and the selection is likely quite limited, it's possible (and much more convenient) to purchase these items in the US with a reputable relocation service that specializes in 220-volt electronics and appliances. When compared to foreign countries, the North American prices will be lower, the selection larger, and they can deliver your purchase directly to your new home overseas at a time that's convenient with your arrival. The end result is that you're able to consult with professionals in your native language, purchase everything you need from a single place, pay a single bill, and arrange for everything you've purchased to arrive at the same time.

 

Again, not only will this step help you save a lot of time and stress, but if offers a certain level of relief to know that everything's already been taken care of. Furthermore, you're able to shop for the exact brands and models you like instead of being limited to a rather bland selection. You really can't beat that idea.

 

The knowledge and experience of a respected relocation expert will also help to ensure that you have everything you needed to "plug & play" in your destination country. If any plug adapters ro special cables are needed to use your new appliances & electronics, they'll be the first to tell you - and in most cases they will provide those to you for free with any significant purchase.

 

Okay, so you've got the idea. You're going to need new electronics and appliances, and you have two options - purchasing them overseas or purchasing them beforehand. Which option should you choose? Let's take a look... Do you speak the native language of your new country? Do you know the area you're moving to well? Are you familiar with the best places to shop for electronics and appliances? Are you okay with taking whatever is available for purchase instead of shopping a broad selection? Do you want to take the risk of being overcharged for inferior products? Are you prepared to be told that the more affordable models are not available and the inventory only consists of the top-dollar products, forcing you to spend more than you intended to? If you answered no to any of these, than your best bet is to make your purchases beforehand.

 

So how do you do it? First and foremost you're going to need a reputable company who specializes in 220-volt electronics and appliances and have a proven record in assisting people with overseas relocation. They'll need to be experienced with their products, have a good selection, competitive pricing, and be experienced with global shipping (not to mention well versed in any issues or pitfalls or potential issues with shipping and/or customs that need to be considered for your specific destination). The customer service should also be exceptional if you're going to spend a large sum and entrust them to a timely and proper delivery of your products overseas.

One of the most common domestic uses for 220-volt electronics and appliances here in the US is the leisure travel industry. From boats & yachts to RVs and other travel-ready vehicles, 220 volts is the standard electrical platform. Therefore, when you're ready to equip yourself for comfort and entertainment you'll be looking for retailers who specialize in 220 volt appliances that provide a simple plug & play solution to your needs. Unfortunately, the overpriced and often negligible selections offered by many marine & RV outfitters can make it an expensive venture. You could easily end up paying far too much for the purchase and installation of so-so products that aren't really what you had in mind in the first place.

 

On a more positive note, there are retailers such as ourselves who not only offer our products to the marine and RV industry, but to the millions of people who travel abroad, purchase properties, or relocate overseas to countries where 220 volts is the standard.

Our immense inventory covers practically every aspect of modern living and creature comforts, including all the little things you could possibly need on your yacht or RV.

Interested in a blender to mix up margaritas while you cruise the Florida Keys or a waffle iron for enjoying a fresh breakfast off the coast of Belize? No problem at all. In the market for an electric chainsaw to trim up some firewood on an RV trip through Canada? We have it, and we can help you make yourself feel at home, regardless of your location.

So you're traveling, moving or relocating to an Asia and you're pretty sure you have everything figured out. But what about electronics and appliances? If you're traveling, this question is usually not as important as if you're moving there - but nonetheless it can still be very important.

 

Asian countries all run on 220/240 volt electricity. This means that if you're coming from the Americas or another 110/120 volt country, your appliances and electronics are not compatible with the voltage used in Asia. The electronics and appliances you own are designed to function only at the local voltage where they are sold, and therefore are basically useless to you overseas. While laptop computers generally use power adapters suited for any voltage, other electronics and appliances purchased in the Americas such as TVs, stereos & radios, and even blowdryers and electric razors are made to work with 120 volts. Attempting to use these items with the higher voltage of 220 or 240 volts is enough to ruin or melt your electronics, start a fire, or even cause electrocution - none of which you really want to deal with.

 

Many times, people think that all they need is an adapter that allows their power cord to be compatible with the foreign electrical outlet, but that isn't always the case. Unless you're using a device that's specifically designed for worldwide use, you're going to need a voltage converter. The voltage converter will plug into the outlet and safely reduce the voltage for you so that your electronics can be used without hazard or worry. There are different types and sizes of converters available depending on your needs. These range from simple travel converters for small personal electronics to converters capable of working with large appliances that draw much more electricity, such as washers & dryers.

 

Now, if you're just going to be taking a vacation, chances are that you're probably not traveling with your microwave or a refrigerator and a simple travel converter will be sufficient. On the other hand, if you're moving overseas with appliances from the US or another 110/120 volts country, you're definitely going to need voltage converters. The size or number of them will depend on what you're bringing along, and you can learn more about how to determine your needs with this voltage converter buying guide. It explains all the things you'll need to understand to purchase the correct voltage converter for Asia.

 

There are also a couple other options available to you. You can always purchase new appliances overseas, and avoid the hassle of moving your things. Additionally, you can purchase appliances specifically made to work in Asia before you even leave - which can allow you a larger selection and better pricing. Then those items can be shipped to your destination. It all depends on your situation and your personal needs.

 

If you'd like to learn more about relocating internationally with electronics and what your options are, as well as getting free personal advice to help better inform you to make the best decision, contact 220 Electronics.

Whether you're relocating overseas or are already overseas, it can be a real pain to shop for 220 volt or 240 volt major appliances. This is especially true in countries where the selection may be limited, available models feature a high price tag, or, both of the above.

 

If you're moving or relocating overseas, it's possible that this may be your first time in the foreign country. Even if it's not, you may have spent very little time there and be unfamiliar with where to shop for the best deals. Additionally, there may be a language barrier that poses another risk, especially when trying to buy rather expensive appliances such as refrigerators, washers and dryers or ranges. Chances are that if you do find a reputable place to buy, they might not have the selection you were expecting which means you're either going to pay too much for something that's not ideal or you're going to spend more time and effort than it's worth looking for what you actually want at a fair price. In the end, it's possible that you might not even find what you're actually after.

 

Of course, this can all be very frustrating. Even in a country where things such as rent, food and other common items may be much cheaper than you're used to at home, it's likely that appliances and electronics will cost more due to the fact that the demand is lower than a country such as the United States. Lower demand means a smaller supply and therefore, higher prices. There's no need to put yourself through the stress of trying to purchase simple necessities, especially when you'd rather just try and adjust to your surroundings. The last thing you really want to be doing is running around in unfamiliar areas trying to haggle with sales people or find recommendations on where to find certain products when you might not even be familiar with the language.

 

There is an easier way, however, so there's no need to worry. At 220 Electronics, we carry a huge selection of electronics, major appliances, personal appliances and more that are designed to work at 220-240 volts. We carry the top brand names at the guaranteed lowest prices in the world - if you find the same product from a competitor at a lower price, we'll beat it. But that's not all - you can order online before you leave and we can arrange for shipping to your destination country so everything will either be waiting when you get there or arrive shortly thereafter.

 

As specialists in international relocation, we have over 35 years experience and understand the complications involved with relocating overseas. Our specialists can assist you by providing recommendations and making sure that your purchases are compatible with your needs and your future location so there's no stress involved. We ship worldwide and even offer a free relocation consultation as well, there are no fees to pay aside from the cost of your purchase and of course, shipping.

 

Instead of struggling and ending up with less than desirable home appliances, visit us online at www.220-Electronics.com and browse our selection of major home appliances. We have a wide variety from the top brand names, including many popular models that may not be available to purchase locally overseas.
