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. Where do you find a company like that?

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. Due to our large volume of sales, we're able to offer the guaranteed lowest prices on an impressive selection of 220 volt electronics and appliances of all types and styles from the top brand names in the world.

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.
