Do you mind sharing the name of the Irish moving company that you received quotes from?

My husband and I are moving to County Kerry and were just starting to look into moving companies.

Thank you!

Kathy Woods

Hope this helps!

Hi Beth @white009, we are moving from New Jersey to Ireland in the summer also.  We are just asking for quotes about now.  Do you mind sharing the names of the Irish companies you got quotes from?

I think whatever the domicile of the moving company, having them experienced in US to Ireland shipping is really key.  I hear you on the destination problems but you don't want your container stuck in a port here either refused to leave.  Packing for international shipping is different to domestic.  

Did you pick already?  I'm gathering my quotes this coming week and will share the details.  

Thanks

Pauline

I have three quotes, all for 40 ft container. Two are from Irish companies: 10,625 EUROS plus insurance and 10,596 EUROS (includes insurance). Both quotes include full packing, port charges, customs clearance, and door to door service.  I have one US-company quote: $10,255 (does not include port charge or insurance). Two other companies (one US, one Irish) I did not hear back from. (And if I have to beg you just to give me a quote, I'm just going to move on to someone else.)  So basically the two Irish quotes are roughly the same and the US quote is roughly 2,000 EUROS less. But my gut instinct tells me I might be better off going with one of the two Irish companies, just based on my dealings so far. (And I feel like the US company might end up tacking on more charges before it's all said and done.) Also I feel like if there are any issues, they would most likely arise on the destination end, and maybe it would be better to have an Irish company handling the transaction.

Be sure to get many quotes, and be sure you get precise details from them on what is included, and what's not.

We live in Washington State and have yet to get quotations. Is it better to get the container packed by the professionals? Do they provide all the packaging material and boxes themselves?

From what I've seen most of the major shipping companies seem to operate nationally, or even globally. There are local companies too of course, but I haven't researched any in Maine. I think what you'll find is that whatever shipper you go through, they will have local contacts i.e. to do the packing, pickup, transportation to port etc. I remember being told by a company that I used, that your shipment may change hands along the way as many as 5-7 times. 

My main recommendation would be to get plenty of like for like quotes, and see what your options are. The more time you can give yourself to plan, the better. It's an expensive part of moving, so it's worth giving it plenty of upfront attention. 

Liam
