Question 1

Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car?

Accepted Answer

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Question 2

What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Question 3

Can I bring my American car to Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Importing your car to Switzerland: basic facts

Question 4

What is the cheapest way to send a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.

Expect to pay more for faster delivery and heavier items, with options ranging from affordable economy (weeks) to premium express (days).

Question 9

How much does it cost to ship a piano internationally?

Accepted Answer

Upright Piano Shipping Costs
 Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance.

Question 10

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

Question 11

Who is the best international moving company?

Accepted Answer

The best international moving companies often include established names like American Van Lines, United Van Lines, Allied Van Lines, North American Van Lines, and Mayflower for broad service, while International Van Lines (IVL) and Atlas Van Lines are strong contenders for global reach and specialized services, with options like JK Moving Services offering white-glove service. Key factors in choosing are reviews, network size, accreditations, and services like packing, storage, and customs help, so comparing quotes from several providers is crucial.

Question 12

What items will moving companies not move?

Accepted Answer

Batteries, alkaline & lead-acid (automobile)
Household cleaning products.
Corrosive chemicals or poisons.
Lawn and garden chemicals.
Flammables and explosives.
Live animals or plants.

Compressed gas cylinders.

Question 13

What is the cheapest day to hire a moving company?

Accepted Answer

Weekdays. Weekdays, specifically Monday through Thursday, are generally the best days to move. Moving companies like Allied Van Lines suggest moving during the Monday to Thursday window when there is less demand. This means you may be able to get a better deal on your move if you choose to move during the week.

Question 14

What is the cheapest way to ship to Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship to Switzerland usually involves USPS for small, light items (under 2 lbs) using options like First-Class Mail International, while for heavier parcels, using multi-carrier platforms (like Easyship, Parcel Monkey ) to compare slower, economy services from carriers like UPS or FedEx offers the best value, often starting around $20-$30. Always compare quotes on these platforms for your specific package weight and dimensions, as slower economy shipping is significantly cheaper than express.
