Door-to-Door International Moving

The turnkey service: from your current living room to your new one, without lifting a finger.

Door-to-door moving is our most complete and convenient service: we take care of absolutely everything, from packing at your origin address to delivery, basic unpacking, and removal of packing material at your new home. You never have to coordinate with ports, shipping lines, or customs agents — a single point of contact, your PIM coordinator, is responsible for the entire chain.

For clients who prefer to handle part of the process themselves, we also offer door-to-port (we deliver to the destination port) and port-to-port service, which lower costs in exchange for you taking on certain steps.

What's included in the door-to-door service?

Door-to-door covers the survey and quote, supply of packing materials, professional export packing, inventory, loading, international freight (sea or air), all documentation and customs at origin and destination, last-mile transport, and delivery with basic unpacking. It's, quite literally, a turnkey move.

This is the preferred option for families and expats who value their time and peace of mind, because it eliminates logistical complexity and puts all the responsibility in the hands of a single trusted provider.

Door-to-Port and Port-to-Port: alternatives to save money

If you'd like to lower the cost and are willing to handle part of the process, door-to-port ends our responsibility at the destination port, where you (or an agent you designate) take care of customs clearance and final transport. Port-to-port, meanwhile, covers only the leg between ports.

These options are common among clients with import experience or those who have support in the destination country. Your coordinator will explain transparently which steps you take on under each option, so you can choose with full knowledge.

One point of contact, from start to finish

The biggest advantage of door-to-door isn't just logistical — it's human. Instead of coordinating on your own with the packing company, the shipping line, the customs agent at origin, the one at destination, and the last-mile carrier — each with its own timeline and its own language — you have a single personal coordinator responsible for the entire chain.

That coordinator knows your case, anticipates the next steps, resolves the unexpected, and keeps you informed. When a family's home is moving thousands of miles away, having one trusted person in charge completely changes the experience.

One point of contact, from start to finish

Who is the turnkey service ideal for?

Door-to-door is the natural choice for families, professionals, and executives who value their time and peace of mind over the marginal savings of managing part of the process themselves. If this is your first international move, if you don't speak the language at your destination, or if you'd simply rather focus on your new life, this is the option for you.

Door-to-port and port-to-port, on the other hand, fit better with those who have import experience or local support at destination. In your quote, we show you all three options with their costs and responsibilities, so you can decide with complete clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

About door-to-door international moving.

Door-to-door covers everything, from your current home to your new one. Port-to-port covers only the leg between ports: you handle the packing, destination customs, and final transport. Door-to-port falls somewhere in between.

It includes more services, so it costs more than port-to-port, but in exchange it eliminates all the complexity and time you'd otherwise spend managing ports and customs. For most families, the peace of mind is worth it.
