Any removal process can't be an easy task, though with a right company this challenge may become a positive experience. Generally the cost of moving your personal goods depends on freight volume. The more you ship, the less you pay.
Usually a door-to-door rate includes: packing and loading from ground floor residence, drayage to port of departure, transportation, normal customs clearance, delivery to ground floor residence, unloading, unpacking, normal setup, removal of debris on day of delivery.
Setting rates in road transport depends on circumstances like distance, weight and volume of the freight, as well as options included in the relocation service. Usually you will be charged based on kilometers traveled or a distance radius and the weight of the goods. But for goods of considerable volume, carriers use a volume/chargeable weight conversion factor that tends to range between 1 m³ =250 Kg. and 1m³=333 Kg.
