Seeking Approx Costs for Shipping
Hi Folks,
We're about to have the moving company come to the house to give us a cost for moving our household goods to the New England area of US. All of our items would NOT take up more space than a 20-ft container. And, for insurance purposes, we would want the removals company to do the packing. With that, would it be possible to get an idea of what people have paid for their shipping? I want to have some information as a comparison when our quote comes in. Also, what moving company did you use and would you recommend them? Many thanks! |

$6500 for a 40 foot container UK to New England if I remember rightly. Removals company would only ship containers they have packed. I don't think you save all that much by going for a smaller container but you might save if you share a container with someone.

Re: Seeking Approx Costs for Shipping
I've had a few quotes very recently.
For 140cu ft in a shared it was between £1.2k-£1.6k. A 20ft container for sole use it was around £4k iirc. |

Re: Seeking Approx Costs for Shipping
I'll have to check when I get on the pc with the info.
But I got quotes from PSS, 1stMoveInt & a few others. I thought most quotes were too dear tbh but I guess that's the price we get to pay. |
