Price comparison for an International Move


International Movers
While planning your international Move pricing plays a very important role. Paying attention to details will save you last-minute frustration and disappointment. We will discuss below a few points that will help understand your International Move Quote and plan your move well. These points will come handy when you are comparing quotes from different moving companies. 

Pricing components: 

First step in an International Move is to understand the cost of shipping and it is normal to compare a few moving companies for pricing and service. It is very important to understand how the move is priced and you are comparing apples to apple.  Each moving company tend to follow different pattern. You should never go by the total number that show on the first page that normally tend to catch your attention. Check if there are any hidden charges. With your international Move you should be aware what are known charges and what are unknow charges. Some companies tend to hide some of the charges or exclude them while these are clearly known at the time of quote. Hiding these charges will make the quote look better on paper but does not help you in planning your budget and you end up paying additional charges at destination. At Home To Tome Relocations our door to door quotes are prepared based on customer service request and include all known charges explained in detail.

 Inclusion and Exclusion:

This is the most important area of your International Move quote. Every quote should have a very clear Inclusion and Exclusion section and you should take time to go through this list and ask for clarification if needed.   This section will determine the total charges that you will pay at the end of the Move. Some service providers exclude more service from their quote to present customers with a number that may look attractive on the paper but will end up being more expensive. While comparing different quote please review this section. At Home To Home Relocations we include all known charges in the quote so that you can have a realistic number and we also provide you with an approximate amount where the charges are not known like if there are any customs duties or taxes at destination etc.

 Rate Validity:

Every price provided and quoted to are subject to change especially freight charges. Look for quote validity date, some Moving companies do not   provide you with a quote validity date and hide the information under exclusion. At Home To Home Relocations our International move quote comes with a validity date and that will be clearly mentioned in bold on the main quote section.

Routing: 

Freight rate normally a 3rd of the total charges in an international Move. Freight rates are determined based on sailing. So if the sailing is direct the freight charges are higher and lower transit time.  One way to cut cost without the end user knowledge is to choose the cheapest option by going the longer transit schedule.  The transit time could upset the whole move plan if you do not receive the shipment on time. We at Home To Home Relocations will always provide customer with the transit time and options available. Fully understanding customer request and providing them with the right information and solution is our aim. 

Special handling and service: 

Most International moves may require some special handling, like crating, Piano handling, stair carry in most of the cases these charges can be calculated ahead of time if you know the delivery address ahead of time. At Home To Home Relocation we include all known charges in our quote to enable you to plan and budget your move effectively.
