International Removal quotes - Things to consider

The removal quote that you get will depend very much on your specific circumstances. There are a number of factors that affect the removal quote given to you and international removal companies will often contact you for detailed information about your international move. Some of the things that you will have to consider are:

• The date of your move. Friday is always going to be busy for international removal companies and so will be more expensive for you.
• Will you require a packing service from the removal company?
• Will you need Packing materials e.g. boxes, bubble wrap etc.
• Do you have any storage requirements?

The removal company will take these things into account when providing you with a removal quote. Other things that will affect the quote you get are:

• Distance to the destination
• Method of shipment
• The day on which you move
• The amount of goods you have

It is always prudent to provide the international removal company with as much information as possible so as to avoid any confusion and hidden costs that could be incurred.

Methods of shipment

When moving abroad you have 3 methods to transport your goods: by ship, plane, or road.

If you choose to go by ship you will reduce the cost of transportation significantly however the time taken to ship the goods will increase. You will also have to consider whether your new house is close to a sea port as this will also affect your cost.

International removals can also be conducted by using air cargo to ship your goods. This method is the quickest and often the safest. Sending things by air freight now has become very secure and if it is within your budget may well be the best option.

Moving overseas to close european destinations is a popular move. For this type of move going by road can often be the cheapest method. Crossing the channel and then driving to your new country is a recommendation of most international removal companies.
