What decides your quote

Your quote is built from five things.

We publish no prices. A surveyor measures these instead.

01
How much is going
Sea freight is priced on the space your things take up.
02
Where it is going
Each route has its own sailings and its own paperwork. Duty is charged by the destination country.
03
Sea, air, or both
Air is quicker and priced on weight and volume together. Sea is slower. You can split a shipment between them.
04
When you move
Peak months cost more than quiet months. A date that cannot shift has fewer sailings to choose from.
05
Getting in and out
Stairs, lift size and parking are priced in when we know early. Found on the day, they become a surcharge. The full version of this list goes further.

Your quote

What's in your quote, and what isn't.

Both columns go on your written quote. Most movers leave the exclusions for the invoice.

In every international move

A home survey and its inventory, which prices your quote and backs any claim.
Export-grade packing, room by room.
Sea or air freight, export papers filed at origin, import and transfer-of-residence papers handled at destination.
Delivery, unpacking and re-assembly, with the packing debris taken away.
All-risk marine cover at declared replacement value, included as standard.

Not in the quote

Duty is the authority's and the agent fee a local partner's. Crating, access and storage are ours.

Destination duty and taxes, pre-assessed before sailing and never waivable.
Custom crating for art and mirrors, built to order and quoted after the survey.
A destination agent fee, where a local partner handles clearance and delivery at the far end.
A surcharge for access found on the day, such as stairs with no lift. Access known early is quoted instead.
Storage past the period in your quote, at either end.

Both columns run longer on our international moving page.

Corporate relocation, for the employee whose home it is.

Not every move is paid for by the person making it. When an employer moves an employee, HR asks what is in scope and what the quote will show.

For corporate clients we have relocated 5,000+ employees on transfer since 2010. They get the answers a family gets, with both columns on a written quote priced against a survey.

Work at the destination is handled by our own in-house coordinators, working with a vetted agent network and local destination partners. That is why a destination agent fee is named in the exclusions above. For a whole relocation programme, see move management.

The process

One team, four steps

Your move runs on one file, from the first call to your first night in the new place. One team is accountable for it, so nothing falls through a gap.

Survey & quote
A surveyor walks your home with you, then sends an itemised figure rather than a guess.
Packing
Everything is packed in export-grade materials and inventoried item by item.
Shipping & customs
Your shipment goes by sea or air. The export declaration is filed at origin and the import entry is handled at destination, both tracked on your file.
Delivery
Door-to-door to your new address, unpacked and placed on request.

What customers say

Moves like yours, in their words.

We shifted from Bangalore to Auckland and our complete move was handled by Venissa from IMove Global Mobility LLP.There was a vessel delay due to port congestion in Hong Kong, but the team communicated well and managed everything smoothly. Still very happy with the service. Highly recommend their service for international relocation. Thank you Vanessia and I Move

Special mention of appreciation to Venissa for handling our shipment door to door from Bangalore to Chicago. Her crew had packed all the items very well and marked each item for identifying as it was a shared container. All the items were intact and without damage or scratch especially the Marble dinning tables, chairs, Diwan and the console. Venissa was tracking the shipment from port to port an updating us every step of the way. Her counterpart team in New Jersey also did a very good job of unloading, opening crates and assembling the furniture. Also they removed all the debris from our site. Overall we were very impressed with the service the Venissa - IMove had provided and will definitely recommend them to our friends and also to people who wish transport items from India. Well done IMove. Once again special thanks to Venissa.

I recently moved from Australia to India and IMOVE handled Indian customs and the experience was seamless. They delivered my shipment within the promised timeframe, and the process was straightforward from start to finish. Riju kept us informed every step of the way, providing regular updates, assisting with the paperwork, and ensuring everything went smoothly. Their professionalism and excellent communication made the move incredibly easy and stress-free. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable relocation services.

Common questions

Before you ask

How much does an international move cost?

An international move is priced on the volume you are actually shipping, the route between your two cities and whether you choose sea or air freight, which is why there is no price list and no figure is given before a survey has seen what you own.

How long does the journey take?

Sea and air freight run on very different timelines, and the honest transit window depends on the corridor, the shipping line's schedule and the season you move in, which is why every route guide above publishes its own figure rather than a single number for all of them. See the full moving process for what happens in between.

What if something is damaged or lost in transit?

Every international shipment travels under all-risk marine cover at declared replacement value, included as standard, so a breakage or a loss in transit is claimed against the replacement value you put on that item in your survey inventory, which is why those values matter.

What happens at the survey, and does it cost anything?

A surveyor walks your home with you and lists what is travelling, so the volume your quote is priced on is a measurement rather than a guess, and there is no charge for it and nothing owed if you decide not to go ahead. The inventory it produces prices your quote, and its replacement values back any claim.

Do I need to be there on packing day and delivery day?

Somebody has to be there at both ends, though it does not have to be you, because packing needs a person who can say what travels and what stays, and delivery needs somebody to direct the unpacking at the new address.

Can you store my things if my dates do not line up?

Yes, and the thing to get right is the period, because a storage window is written into your quote when it is known at the survey and any time past that written period is charged separately, which is why it sits in the exclusions above. Port storage during clearance is a separate terminal charge.

What can I not ship at all?

Two separate lists decide that, because dangerous goods such as flammable liquids, gas cylinders, aerosols, paint and anything perishable stay out of a household shipment on every route, while the destination country's own prohibited and restricted lists change from country to country. Name anything you are unsure of at the survey, because an undeclared restricted item holds up the whole shipment.

Can you ship a car, and can you move a pet?

Both, and each is booked on its own because a vehicle and an animal carry their own paperwork, their own approvals and their own timetable, so each is quoted and cleared separately from the household rather than folded into the volume a surveyor measures. Name them at the survey so neither arrives after the household.
