Moving abroad: Why Your International Relocation Deserves More Than a Generic Price

We hear this almost every day:
“I’m moving to the USA. It’s my first international move and I really have no idea what the cost could be. Can you help me?”

What’s behind that question is more than logistics.
It’s a new chapter, a big decision, a mix of excitement, uncertainty, and hope.
And because each story is different, every relocation should be handled with the care it deserves.

That’s why giving a “ballpark price” isn’t just inaccurate— it wouldn’t reflect the importance of what you’re about to do.

Read the Guide



Every International Move Starts With Understanding Your Life, Not Just Your Boxes.

Before talking about cost, we need to understand you.
Your home, your belongings, your timing, and your expectations.

Access to your home

Is parking available?
Is the elevator big enough, or will the team need to use the stairs?
Do we need an external lift to protect your items?

The volume you’re taking with you

This determines the plan: how many days of work, how we pack everything, and the best transport option for your relocation to the USA.

Your meaningful items

A piano, artwork, a special table, family pieces.
these items carry memories, not just weight.
They may need custom crating or extra protection.

Any technical needs

Some homes may need a professional to disconnect fixtures, ceiling fans, or lighting.

Once we understand your home and your needs, we evaluate the best way to move everything safely and efficiently.

Shared container (LCL)

Ideal for smaller shipments when timing is flexible.

Airfreight

A great option when speed is essential.

Full container (FCL)

A 20-foot or 40-foot container for larger moves or complete households.

Best port of entry

Selecting the right arrival point makes a difference in cost and transit time.

When Everything Arrives at destination: Turning a New Space Into Your New Home.

The day your belongings arrive is emotional.
It’s the moment when an empty space starts to feel familiar again.

Will the truck be able to park near your new home?

Is an external elevator needed?

Will you want full unpacking to settle in faster?

These small details shape your first day in your new life.

You can also add door-to-door insurance, for total peace of mind.

Your Relocation Is Unique — Your Price Should Be Too.

There is no “one size fits all” price for an international move.
And there shouldn’t be.

Your relocation deserves a plan built specifically around your needs, your timing, and your expectations for this new chapter.
