Moving Quotes

It used to be a pain getting moving quotes. There was a time when it meant making a great many telephone calls, explaining what it was that you had to move and from where to where. Today you can do all of that through the Internet. Right here on these web pages you’ll find a form that you can fill in, listing all of the items in an inventory. Simply fill in the form and submit it electronically to us and we’ll get back to you in no time with free moving quotes.

There is a lot of discussion as to how long before a move you start getting moving quotes. We believe that it is never too early. The earlier you start the easier it is to start budgeting for your move. Long distance moves can vary enormously from week to week though. Just a few weeks ago for example, a 6-metre container of furniture from South Africa to the United States would have cost you somewhere in the region of R70,000. Because of the world financial situation and the weak Rand the price today has risen to well over R100,000. You must remember that long distance moving quotes such as this example are going to depend on two variables – the dollar/rand exchange rate and the current price of fuel oil. So, the answer is to get your quotation as early as you can, decide on a company, and if necessary get further estimates from that company as you get closer to your moving date. If a long distance is involved, keep an eye on the exchange rate.
