FAQ
What You're Probably Wondering About Moving Internationally
How much does an international move cost in 2025?
International costs are based on the volume (cubic feet) of your shipment and the destination. A move to Europe typically ranges from $6,000 to $10,000+. We provide free, on-site surveys to ensure you get an accurate, binding quote.
How long does it take for my items to arrive in a new country?
Ocean freight typically takes 6 to 10 weeks depending on the destination and port congestion. Air freight can arrive in as little as 1 to 2 weeks. Your coordinator will provide a detailed timeline based on your specific route.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you have a private container for your items only. LCL (Less than Container Load) means you share space with other shipments, which is often more affordable for smaller moves.
Do I have to be present for customs clearance?
In many countries, you do not need to be physically present at the port, but you must be in the country and have the proper residency documents. We handle the communication with customs officials on your behalf.
Can I track my shipment across the ocean?
Yes! As part of our first-class service, we provide you with tracking information so you can monitor your container’s journey across the world in real-time.
