Cost by moving method
Only methods with a sourced band for this corridor are listed. Missing methods are omitted rather than shown as $0–$0.
| Method | What’s included | Estimated range |
|---|---|---|
| Full-service movers | Typical 2–3 bedroom household, door to door | $1,830 – $5,032 |
| Container (any) | fcl · 7–14 days | $1,800 – $3,200 |

Common add-ons
These services are often quoted separately. We do not publish dollar amounts here unless a sourced band exists for this corridor.
| Add-on | How it’s priced |
|---|---|
| Packing service | Full or partial packing is quoted after a survey. Fragile and custom packing is usually priced separately from the base move. |
| Storage in transit | Short-term warehouse storage between collection and delivery. Ask for a daily or weekly rate in the quote, tied to your dates. |
| Shuttle / access fee | Applies when a full-size truck cannot reach the door — narrow streets, long carry, or no elevator. Confirmed on survey, not from a generic table. |
| Piano or specialty items | Pianos, safes, and oversized art need specialist handling. Movers price these from the inventory list, not a site-wide average. |
| Pet relocation | Pets travel under separate airline and import rules. Ask a specialist; household-goods quotes do not include pet costs. |
| Vehicle shipping | Cars and motorcycles are a separate booking from household goods. International vehicle rates depend on the sailing, not this route’s furniture band. |

How to plan your move
- Book movers about 42 days ahead — this corridor typically needs more notice than a local move.
- Prepare a room-by-room inventory for customs and for quotes. Volume, not rooms alone, drives sea-freight price.
- Confirm parking, elevator bookings, and walk-up access at both addresses. Shuttle or long-carry fees show up here, not in the headline range.
- Peak demand runs May–Aug. If dates are flexible, moving outside that window usually improves availability.
- Request at least three quotes from movers who operate this corridor. Compare what’s included (packing, insurance, transit window) — not headline price alone.
- Plan around a 3–5 days door-to-door window, plus customs clearance. Goods and people often arrive on different days.
