Can you just give me some ballpark figure of what it should cost to move contents of a two-bedroom house from Toronto to NYC? I can’t get anyone to respond to repeated requests online and I need to have a conversation about this in the morning.
I won’t hold you or anyone else to the quote; just looking for a ballpark!

I am moving from Taiwan to Canada in August. Are there any shipping companies that you know of that I can use to send a few larger items, like a crib, dresser, rocking chair and some boxes. I’m not sure how much stuff I will be sending back, I just need an idea of pricing to see if it would be worth it. Thanks!

Hello Mark,
I would like to have two big boxes shipped (air) from Cape Town, South Africa, to Nuremburg, Germany. Could you recommend a company (airport to airport, CPT-NUE, is fine).
Thanks,

Hello. I just moved from New York (US) to Vancouver (Canada). I will be in New York for the holidays from Dec. 22 – the 25th, and was planning on shipping 8 or 9 boxes of my personal items, including jewelry, from NY to Vancouver. Is there a way to do this where all I have to do is write the address and return address on the box and have a shipping service come pick up the boxes and send them off to my new address in Vancouver?

Hello,
we are moving from Wellington, New Zealand, to the south of Tuscany in Italy in early February 2014. We would like to take some items of furniture with us. We have:
1 double bed
1 dining table, regular size
5 dining chairs
2 armchairs
2 bookshelves, about 5 feet high, disassemblable
2 bookshelves, about the same size, not disassemblable
household items: kitchenware, clothes, toys etc
Can you please advise on reliable and economic ways to move these things to Italy? If we can ship to Civitavecchia or Livorno, we can probably arrange to collect our things straight from the port, if that will reduce cost.
We would also like to take our pets with us: a small dog and a cat. Can you suggest the best way to do that, as well?
Thanks,
Richard

Dear Moving Doctor,
I have not read all the comments below but as far as I have read, you have been super helpful and I’m glad I came across this website.
My wife and I have moved back to her home country, Faroe Islands, with most of our household items back in Los Angeles (or to be exact, Pasadena). I’m exploring ways to bring these items here via shipping container. We don’t want to sell them and buy new things because some, we have collected over the years and other things are much more expensive to buy where we live. I don’t think it will take much space in a container and I can’t tell you exactly all the measurements but here are some items to give you a clue how much space it will take

king size bed frame (disassembled) and foam mattress
two sofas made out of steel frame (so not so bulky or too heavy)
kitchen items: plates, cups, glasses, kitchenware such as food processor, crockpot, etc
clothes
baby items such as stroller, crib (obviously disassembled)

There’s not too much stuff really. We can be flexible and have the items be shipped to Denmark and we can pick them up ourselves. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks in advance!

We are in San Francisco for 9 days. Intend to buy some vintage furniture & baby furniture to ship to Singapore. Is it economical to buy half or quarter container space. Pls advise the most cost effective way of shipping and how to clear goods & custom.
Thanks

Hi there,
My husband, son and I are moving from Saskatoon, SK to Palo Alto, CA for one year. We currently live in a 1,400 sq foot 3 bedroom home. We are debating whether it’s a good idea to rent a truck and move almost everything down (it sounds expensive) or if we should use some type of pod that will be transferred without the time and expense of driving down and purge and/or store some of our things here. We are leaning more towards bringing a smaller amount of things down and buying cheap items from ikea once we move and only bringing things like lots of clothes, some toys, tv’s (1 large and 1 small), computers (large apple computer and laptop), books (heavy university texts), kitchen supplies and a few other toddler related things. If we used a pod system would we be able to send things like a tv or a computer? Would they be safe or prone to damage? What’s the best way to deal with them. Also, we are all flying down and not bringing a vehicle so we can’t bring them that way. Please advice me what’s the best moving company to go with and which move plan you think is the smartest option. Thank you in advance!!!!!

Hey Doc,
I am moving from Alberta, Canada to Washington DC in the US. However, I first need to get my visa stamped from India. It would be a huge waste to ship my household goods to India for a couple of months and then bring them back to the US.
I thought of shipping it to my wife in Georgia, USA. But most movers mentioned that she needs to have resided in Canada to be able to receive them or the US Border and Customs wont permit the goods through. Unfortunately, she has never been to Canada. Can you suggest an alternative?

Thanks!

Hi Mark

Hello,

I would like to ship from Toronto, Canada to international orders from my e-commerce store. I sell 2 acrylic products. One runs 11 x 11 x 12 and weighs 18 pounds. The other runs 24 x 4 x 27 and weighs 8 pounds. I really need an economical rate or I cannot ship them at all internationally. Please help 🙂 Thanks!

I’m considering shipping my Baldwin Concert Vertical piano from Denver, CO, to San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. How should I go about this? Many people say I should sell my piano here and buy another in Mexico. But I love this piano and will probably not find a comparable one there that I can afford, so I’m reluctant to let it go. It seems that no mover will go the whole distance. Apparently the piano needs to be shipped to Laredo, TX, and given over to a Mexican shipper who will take it to SMA. Seems complicated. I’m trying to get an estimate of the cost which will probably be the deciding factor.

Hi Doctor,
I’m moving to Europe in a couple of months but don’t have enough items to justify shipping my own container. I like the concept of the U-Crate and U-Pod, but although on your web it says I can lock a U-Crate myself and keep the key, I read on some other reviews that sometimes items are removed from the U-Crate and U-Pod and loaded as loose items on a delivery truck for the last leg of the trip. Is this right? I would be concern about broken, missing or mishandled items if things are removed by somebody else.

Thanks for your help clarifying this matter,
Yew.

I’m getting ready to move to Ireland for a year, but I’m using a friend’s buddy pass, so I can only take a carry-on. I don’t need a ton of stuff, but at least a box-full of clothes/books/etc, which will be somewhat heavy. I’ve never really shipped much overseas and am not sure the cheapest way to get it over. It won’t be time-sensitive at all. I’ll take what I need with me and just ship the stuff I won’t need right away. If you have thoughts about the cheapest way–not worrying at all about time for it to get there–that would be great!

Thanks so much,
Kat

Hi my name Is Jeanette. I currently live in Malaga, Spain and want to ship I would say 5 big boxes to USA. New Bedford Massachusetts to be excact. Can you tell me the price and how long it would take. Thanks

I have about two boxes that i need to send from Purdue University at West Lafayette, Indiana, to Taiwan. I don’t know the exact size, but it’s about 1m x 60cm x 60cm and 30kgw. It’s a combination of a few books and some kitchen cookers.
I don’t need it urgently. So I prefer to mail them by the water transportation.

Hi!
I am planing to move a few moving boxes from Sweden to Canada. Do you know of any good company to send with? I have tried to find someone that wants to ship small amounts like this to a good price but most companies only ship larger volumes.

I want to transport some musical equipment from San Francisco to London in the next few months (touring for several months and then returning).
There will be
– 3 speakers (for which I don’t have cases yet) weighing 110 pounds each.
Dimensions are 30in x 20in x 19in

– 3 keyboard cases weighing about 40 pounds each..
Dimensions are 50in x 20in x 10in

– an accessories case weighing 60 pounds
Dimensions are 50in x 24in x 14in

And finally, rack mounted equipment that could go in one or two cases.
Either two 10u racks weighing 120 pounds each.
Dimensions are 22in x 24in x 24in
Or all in one rackmount case.
If in one case, weight is 230 pounds and
Dimensions are 22in x 24in x 42

So, my questions are;
– does it make sense to break up the rackmount equipment into two cases.

-how much would this cost one way or two way
– how long would it take for the shipment to arrive in London
– what would it cost per day to store the stuff if I can’t pick it up for a few days
Thanks,
Gabriel Stern

I am considering buying a wall desk listed on line at Corsham, Wiltshire UK.
H= 143cm W= 85cm D= 45cm
And it is of Indian padouk wood, so it has some weight to it.
The listing agent had several European price options for driver delivery, but gave me a completely high end quote – but they offer pick up from the shop as an option.
Anyway, it would need to come to the USA zip code 58102 which is North Dakota. Could you give me a ball-park idea, the auction ends in about an hour and a half.

Kind Regards,

Hi, I am planning to move back to the USA from So Africa. Both companies I have contacted claim they must pack everything, even boxes, files, etc. that are already boxed in proper moving boxes. They say it is because of customs inspections. Is this the case or are there companies that will allow me to pack some things myself.

Hello,
We are moving from Brussels, Belgium to New York City early next year. I’d like to move a big computer screen, an audio system, three guitars and a few boxes of books. Probably door to door. What do you think the best option would be? How much would it cost? If the price difference isn’t very big I wouldn’t mind adding some furniture to that (one sofa, one table…).

Thanks,

Mario
