We a planning a move back to uk some ways in the future -always good to plan! We have decide to use your services but…
Reading all your advise and tips I still have question about furniture do and things such as rugs, step ladders etc.
Do we box all these although you mention wrapping bikes. And if not boxed in which location of the container should things like chairs go?
Look forward to hearing you suggestions

Hi Moving Dr.,

Relocating a family of five (5) to Auckland New Zealand December of this year. We’re looking at personal household effects and furniture, and since electronics can’t be brought over, no white goods, etc.. Looks like we’d be requiring a 30 ft container. Port of departure is NY, NY but uplift is farther upstate. On a tight budget, but really would need full service – yeah, I know you’re not a magician 🙂

Would be most grateful for tips, quotes and advice via email. Thank you!

What would be the rate to ship 100 kilos of product from Boulder Colorado to Barcelona Spain. Volume of the package quite small….30cms x 40cms x 100cms.

I may need to ship 200 books to Bahrain for a speaking engagement. I believe the publisher would send them in boxes of 24 that are about 1 cubic foot in size each, so 8 boxes. Each box probably would weight 15-20lbs. So about 120-160lbs total.

What is the best way to ship and rough estimate of cost and duration?

Thanks,

Braden

I am moving a few boxes estimated 100 kg from Vancouver Canada to L.A. whats the cheapest solution

I am costing up the possibility of shipping 4 pre war cars to South Africa, from the UK, in September next year (2014) for a rally in South Africa and then shipping them back to the UK.
By making a special frame in a 30ft Container we could get the four cars in a 30 ft container (they are soft top and the windscreen can be lowered.
The question is therefore what would be the approximate cost of shipping this 30ft container from any suitable UK port to Cape Town and bringing them back about a month later

Hello Mark,

I will have approximately 100 Kg to be shipped from Edmonton, AB, Canada to Dammam (air port code: dmm), Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia in the beginning of January, 2014.
The 100 Kg shipment will make 2 large boxes containing clothes, bags and some new, unopened fragrances.
What is the estimated cost? I don’t mind going with a slow shipping if it cost less.
Could you please also estimate the cost of shipping 60 Kg instead of 100 Kg?

Best Regards,

Hi Mark,

Do you provide basic loss insurance at an additional cost?

If I choose to load at the terminal, how long do I have? I probably won’t be able to fully load the crate in one trip in the car.

Hi! We moved from England to Vancouver, Canada and we left a few of our bigger items with a friend. We’d like to ship them now but we have no idea how much they’re going to be. We’ve got 2 paintings on canvas, about a meter long, half a meter wide, and 5 centimetres thick. We also have a guitar which is already packaged.

If you have any idea of even a ballpark figure for how much these will cost to ship from Southampton to Vancouver, we’d be extremely grateful!

Thank you,

Hi Mark

I am thinking about returning to Australia (Canberra) from Japan (Tokyo) within the next 6-12 months and am interested in getting a general idea of how much it would cost to move my household effects door to door, including assistance with boxing up/packing items here in Tokyo.

I do not know if I have more than 15 cubic meters of stuff and therefore whether I need my own 20 ft container or whether I should go LCL.

There would only be three pieces of furniture to move (2 Japanese antique chests and an antique Chinese sideboard), but I have a 1 metre wide floor to ceiling bookcase full of books, around 100 CDs, 90 DVDs, and 60 video cassettes, along with 4-5 boxes of magazines, a lot of Tupperware, a small amount of crockery, cutlery and glassware, a number of Japanese art items (wedding kimono, porcelain doll in glass case, lacquerware, ceramics including two large vases and other assorted item). In addition, I probably have around 90 pairs of shoes in their boxes, a number of handbags and maybe between 10-20 boxes worth of clothes (this is a very rough estimate).

I am wondering if you can give me an estimate of whether all of this could be shipped sharing a container or whether I would need a whole container and in each case, how much that would cost.

Hi There,

We are moving from Vancouver to Melbourne & have not had much luck finding a service that will sea freight 2-3 moving boxes. Realistically, these will just be books and clothes as well as some household/camping things. There is no hurry for the items to get there.
So far, we have found that any companies offering groupage dictate a minimum of around $300 worth of shipping space then the associated fees are added after that.
My question is, is it possible to simply send a couple of boxes and pay for the space you take up (even if it means waiting longer for the container to be filled) or is this simply not done?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Peter Davis.

Hello,
I am looking to move from south London, UK in the next few weeks to southeastern Ohio, USA. I have already received a quote from Chris for £700.00 for a collected packed volume of not more than 100 cu/ft door to door. A loveseat and flat pack bookcase are my only items of furniture; the rest of our items would be about 15-20 boxes. Could you tell the rates for the Ubox? I just want to ensure I have selected the best option before I complete my booking.

Best,

Hi there,

I am planning to move to New York (from Brussels) next year (sept 2014).

Hello,

I am currently interviewing for a position in New Zealand and happen to be starting the process of gathering information about a potential international move. Can you please provide some insight as to the costs associated with shipping from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA to Palmerston North, New Zealand.

I do not yet have an estimated number of boxes/cartons. But some of the larger items would include: a queen size bed/mattress, dresser, bed side table, crib/mattress, two sliding rocker/ottoman, dresser, sofa , entertainment center, desk and shelf. Additionally, there would be kitchen items, computer, TV, toys, bike, clothes, mirrors, etc…

What is the safest, easiest, least stressful, and most efficient and economical way to ship my belongings that you would advise?

Thank you so much for your help.
