What affects the price of your move
Volume
The single biggest factor. A 20ft container holds about 33 m³ (a 2–3 bedroom home); a 40ft about 67 m³.
Route & season
Origin port, destination city and ocean freight rates — summer is peak season for family moves.
Access
Stairs, long carries, narrow streets or no elevator at either end can add shuttle or lift costs.
Customs
Duty-free eligibility (TR in India, EU/UK relief) and any inspection fees at destination.
Insurance
Optional full-value marine insurance is typically a small percentage of declared value.
Extras
Storage, crating of fragile items, vehicle shipping and piano or art handling.
International moving price FAQ
What's included in your international moving price?
Our door-to-door prices include packing materials and labour, furniture wrapping, loading, trucking to the port, ocean or air freight, origin and destination port handling, customs clearance assistance, delivery, unpacking and debris removal.
What is NOT included?
Destination import duties or taxes (if any apply), storage, marine insurance (optional, but recommended), customs inspection fees if customs chooses to examine your shipment, and special access services such as furniture lifts — all of which we flag in your quote.
How can I reduce the cost of my move?
Ship less (sell or donate bulky, inexpensive furniture), be flexible on dates, choose a shared container for smaller moves, and depart from an East Coast port if possible.
Why do quotes from different movers vary so much?
Some companies quote freight only and add destination charges later. Our quotes are door to door and itemised so you can compare like for like.
