Every move is priced on four factors — which is why honest movers survey before quoting. Here's exactly what shapes your price:
The biggest factor. A studio is typically 5–10 m³, a 1–2 bedroom home 10–20 m³, and a villa 30 m³ or more — which is when a dedicated 20ft or 40ft container makes sense.
Freight rates, port fees and delivery distances differ by country and city. Your quote shows the destination charges clearly.
Sea freight is the best value for full homes; air freight costs more but arrives in days. Many clients fly essentials and ship the rest.
Full packing, insurance, storage and unpacking each add cost — and remove work and risk from your side. You choose the level.
When we say all-inclusive, we mean it. Your written quotation covers:
Customs is where international moves go wrong. It's also where we earn our reputation.
US-bound shipments require an ISF (Importer Security Filing) before the vessel even sails, plus a CBP Form 3299 declaration of free entry for household effects. We file both, prepare your compliant inventory and coordinate clearance with our American partners — protecting you from penalties and port delays.
Popular destinations on this route — and everywhere in between:
Regional conflict has disrupted one of the world's main shipping lanes. Here's exactly how it affects this route right now — and how we protect your move.
US East Coast services (New York, Houston, Miami) often transit the Suez Canal and are affected by Cape of Good Hope rerouting — allow extra time and expect occasional schedule changes. West Coast routings via the Pacific are unaffected, so Los Angeles and San Francisco timelines remain normal. We quote each coast on its current, realistic schedule.
Best value for full households — furniture, appliances and large volumes, in a shared or dedicated container.
Fastest door-to-door option for essentials, urgent corporate moves and smaller shipments.
Fly essentials ahead by air and send the full home by sea — your coordinator designs the smartest mix.
“The packing team treated our furniture like it was their own. Everything arrived without a single scratch — and the customs side was completely handled.”
“One coordinator, one price, zero stress. They told us exactly when our container would arrive and it did.”
Cost, timing, packing day, insurance, payment — the honest answers, all in one place.
Sometimes, yes — and we believe in telling you upfront. US East Coast services (New York, Houston, Miami) often transit the Suez Canal and are affected by Cape of Good Hope rerouting — allow extra time and expect occasional schedule changes. West Coast routings via the Pacific are unaffected, so Los Angeles and San Francisco timelines remain normal. We quote each coast on its current, realistic schedule. Your quote always shows the realistic current timeline for your route — never an optimistic one — and your coordinator informs you immediately if your vessel's routing or schedule changes. The live status board on this page is refreshed from our operations desk, and the page re-checks it every hour.
Sea freight takes roughly 5–8 weeks depending on the coast and city, plus inland trucking. Air freight arrives in about 7–14 days door to door.
Used personal and household effects owned for a year or more generally enter duty-free under CBP Form 3299. We prepare the declaration with you.
You should generally be in the country for customs clearance. We schedule your shipment around your travel dates so timing works.
Four things: the volume of your goods (measured in cubic meters at your survey), the destination, the shipping method (sea, air or a mix), and the service level — packing, insurance, storage and unpacking. That's why we survey first: it's the only honest way to price an international move.
Everything we control: professional packing and materials, export wrapping, collection, freight, export documentation, destination customs handling and delivery to your door. Any government duties or taxes at destination — which apply only in specific cases — are shown separately so there are never surprises.
Yes — send us photos or a short video walkthrough of your home on WhatsApp at 0567886885 and we'll send an estimate the same day. For an exact fixed price, we'll arrange a free home or video survey.
Ideally 4–6 weeks before your preferred packing date — especially May to September, the UAE's peak relocation season. Short-notice moves are often possible too; call us and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
Yes — you or a representative should be present to point out priority items and sign the inventory. Packing a typical apartment takes one day; villas usually take two.
With transit insurance, you report the damage to your coordinator at delivery, we document it together against the signed inventory, and the claim is processed for repair or replacement value. Damage is rare with export-grade packing — but insurance means it's never your loss.
Payment terms are confirmed in writing with your quote. Most clients pay a booking amount to secure their packing date and the balance before the shipment departs. No hidden extras are ever added after the survey.
Yes. Shared-container (groupage) and air freight services make small shipments economical — from a few boxes to a single sofa, piano or wardrobe.
Yes — secure, climate-controlled storage in Dubai for any duration, and storage at destination through our partners. Many clients store for a few weeks between tenancies.
Comprehensive transit insurance is available, including all-risk cover based on your declared inventory value. Your coordinator explains the options and cost before packing day.
Completely free and without obligation. A specialist visits your home (or surveys by video call), then you receive a transparent, itemized quotation — usually within 24 hours.
Yes — we pack and collect across the entire UAE: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and beyond, with the same crews and standards.
Free survey, transparent quote, export-grade packing, full customs support and insured door-to-door delivery. We move lives — carefully.
