Pricing – What Affects the Cost of Moving House Abroad?
There is no fixed price for international house moving, because each move is unique. Your quote depends mainly on:
- Volume and weight of your shipment (number of cartons, furniture, appliances, etc.).
- Origin and destination cities/countries and distance.
- Shipping mode (sea freight vs air freight).
- Access at both properties (floor level, lift availability, truck access, special handling).
- Level of service (door‑to‑door, packing only, or transport only).
- Insurance, storage, and any additional services (pet relocation, vehicle shipping through partners, etc.).
When we share a quote, we are transparent about every charge and help you optimise your cost by decluttering, choosing the right mode, and planning timing properly.
