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 | $2,800 – $6,500 |
Full-service figures come from this route’s cost band. Container figures come from MQE corridor shipping data where a matching origin/destination country pair exists. Rental truck and freight-trailer rows are omitted until a sourced band exists. Methodology
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 We do not publish dollar amounts here unless a sourced band exists for this corridor.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. |
| Vehicle shipping | Open or enclosed auto transport is quoted separately from the household move. Ask for it on the same survey if you need both. |
How to plan your move
- Book movers about 28 days ahead so crews and trucks are still available.
- List bulky items (beds, appliances, gym kit) before the survey so quotes cover the real load, not a bedroom guess.
- 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 4–7 days delivery window rather than a single calendar day.
