Gym Equipment Shipping Cost from Sao Paulo to Hamburg

Between PODS and a full-service moving company, PODS is likely the cheaper option — especially when you factor in discounts.

Moving to another country costs anywhere from $1,000 to over $10,000, often falling between $6,000 and $16,000 for US moves, depending heavily on shipment size, distance (Europe vs. Australia), transport method (sea freight is cheaper), and extra expenses like visas, flights, and pet shipping. Key factors include volume (more stuff = more money), distance, and ensuring you have funds for the first few months of living expenses in your new home.

The cheapest days to hire a moving company are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the middle of the month during fall or winter. Weekdays are cheaper since moving companies experience lower demand than weekends, which are often non-work days for clients.
