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.

MethodWhat’s includedEstimated range
Full-service moversTypical 2–3 bedroom household, door to door$2,085$4,379

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 We do not publish dollar amounts here unless a sourced band exists for this corridor.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-onHow it’s priced
Packing serviceFull or partial packing is quoted after a survey. Fragile and custom packing is usually priced separately from the base move.
Storage in transitShort-term warehouse storage between collection and delivery. Ask for a daily or weekly rate in the quote, tied to your dates.
Shuttle / access feeApplies 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 itemsPianos, safes, and oversized art need specialist handling. Movers price these from the inventory list, not a site-wide average.
Vehicle shippingOpen 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

  1. Book movers about 28 days ahead so crews and trucks are still available.
  2. List bulky items (beds, appliances, gym kit) before the survey so quotes cover the real load, not a bedroom guess.
  3. Confirm parking, elevator bookings, and walk-up access at both addresses. Shuttle or long-carry fees show up here, not in the headline range.
  4. Peak demand runs May–Aug. If dates are flexible, moving outside that window usually improves availability.
  5. Request at least three quotes from movers who operate this corridor. Compare what’s included (packing, insurance, transit window) — not headline price alone.
  6. Plan around a 1–3 days delivery window rather than a single calendar day.
