International Moving within Reach - and within Your Budget
International moving is exciting, but it’s not easy. You’ll have to deal with customs, shipping containers, and quite a bit of paperwork. If you want worldwide logistics on a budget – and you want a team to handle all that tough stuff – look no further than Pricing Van Lines.
Easy, Affordable International Moving
Moving to a completely different country is one of the most radical changes you can make in your life. There’s plenty of romance to it – after all, who hasn’t daydreamed of packing their bags and heading to some faraway paradise? But, under all that romance, there’s a lot of packing, loading and hauling. And more.
International moves are a little more intensive than local or interstate relocations. For one thing, you’ll have to deal with customs. You’ll also have to fill out way more paperwork (not just for your belongings, but for yourself). And depending on where you’re going and how you’re getting there, you’ll have to coordinate shipping and storage containers, too.
Fortunately, Pricing Van Lines is global. From packing and hauling to customs and delivery, we’ll take care of the logistics so you can focus on your fresh start. Just tell us more about the big move, and we’ll handle the heavy lifting. And if you’re curious to see what makes us so great at international moving, just read on…

International Moving Services with Pricing Van Lines
Pick and choose the services you need. Don’t get charged for the services you don’t. Take a look at some of our International moving services:
Packing and Crating
Packing is hard enough when you’re just moving down the block. But if you’re dealing with an international move? Better call Pricing Van Lines for some worldwide TLC.
Our packing teams can help you box up all of your fragile, high-value, and just plain awkward items. We’ll use high-quality packing and padding supplies, too.
As an added bonus, our international packing and crating teams can even provide custom crates for your heaviest, stubbornest items. If it doesn’t fit in a box, we’ll build a custom box around it.
Container Shipping
Odds are, you can’t fit everything you own into a carry-on. When you’re moving international, you’ll need to use a shipping container – and possibly more than one. Fortunately, Pricing Van Lines can organize and execute your container shipping without breaking the bank.
We can help you book, load, and transport your moving container. And we can make sure it’s transferred where it needs to be transferred, and delivered where it needs to be delivered. We’ll also handle all the paperwork, including permits, packing lists, and bills of lading.
Customs Clearance
It wouldn’t be an international move without a whole mountain of paperwork. Customs needs to know all about your relocation, and they’ll also need to sign off on your stuff before you can start unpacking.
At Pricing Van Lines, we know a thing or two about clearing customs. And our agents can walk you through everything you need to know before you (and all your stuff) arrives at your new home country.
It’s a lot of paperwork, and a lot of back-and-forth – and no two countries are alike. We stay up to speed about all the changing rules and regulations, and we’ll make sure you’re up to speed, too.
Storage Solutions
It can be hard to figure out your new floorplan, especially if you’re dealing with an international move. Will you have enough room for all of your belongings once you get to point B? If you’re not sure, Pricing Van Lines can give you a bit of much-needed flexibility.
Book storage solutions with us, and we’ll keep your extra items safe and secure until you figure out where it’ll all live. We can also deliver items straight to your storage unit. You may be packing light for your international move, but we can keep a roof over all the leftovers.
Delivery Services at Destination
There are a lot of moving parts in an international move. One of those moving parts is you. If your flight’s delayed or you have to reschedule your arrival time, Pricing Van Lines can get your belongings transported safely.
We offer delivery services at your destination, and we’ll only charge a fraction of the big name brands while we’re at it. It’s one thing to get through customs, but we’ll also make sure your belongings get from the airport, harbor, or land crossing to your new home with minimal fuss.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
It’s rare, but accidents happen. There’s a lot of ground to cover in an international move, and a lot of borders to cross, inspections to deal with, and bumps, jostling, and rattling at every step of the way. We’ll make sure your belongings are safe, but just in case, we also offer full-value insurance coverage.
Moving companies are required by law to provide basic moving insurance. Unfortunately, this basic coverage is only good for about $0.60 per pound of lost or damaged items. If you think your PS5 is worth more than $6.00, full value protection means you get the actual value back.
FAQ
How much does international moving cost?
International moving typically costs between $3499 and $30000. It usually depends on how much you’re transporting, and how far you’re traveling.
Additional expenses and fees may make your international move a little pricier than just moving down the street. There may be shipping fees, custom fees, and more. Every country is different – and so are their customs departments.
How long will it take to move overseas?
Your international move can be done in as little as 7 day (if you live right next to a border), but they can take up to 45 days. Much like the price of your international move, the duration depends on how much you’re transporting, and how far you’re traveling. If you’re moving several shipping containers worth of stuff, it may take some time for customs to clear everything.
What is door-to-port delivery?
When you’re moving overseas, you get two main options: door-to-port delivery, and door-to-door delivery. If you choose door-to-port delivery, your movers will pack up all your stuff, and transport it to your place of departure – whether it’s a port or an airport. Next, your belongings will be shipped to your destination country, but from there, it’s up to you to deal with customs and importing.
On the other hand, door-to-door delivery means your movers will transport everything to your place of departure, and once your belongings arrive in your destination country, there’ll be a team there to handle the customs. After everything clears customs, it will all go straight to your new home.
How can I move my stuff to another country?
International movers will rely on land, sea, or air transport to get your belongings to point B. What method they choose really depends on the distance to your destination, and whether your destination has ocean access in the first place. Air freight is typically the fastest, but it’s the most expensive. On the other hand, sea freight takes a long time, but it’s cheaper.
When should I book my international move?
We always tell our long distance customers to book 2 or 3 months in advance, but for an international move, you may want to add a few months to that window – and you should only book your international move if you’ve already got your immigration paperwork sorted out.
There’s nothing more stressful than waiting for government bureaucracy to work its magic while you’re on a tight deadline.
