Professional Packing for International Moves
Moving2Greece.com professionally trained packers wrap and pack your personal possessions in cartons and shipping crates to protect them from damage. Whether your household or office is shipped in a lift-van, a steamship container or an air container will be determined by the size of the shipment and its destination.
A lift-van ranges in size from 185 to 210 cubic feet. This wooden or plywood container with skids is normally loaded using a forklift. A lift-van is lined with water-resistant paper and caulked to prevent leakage. Steamship companies supply containers. Air containers range in size from five- to 100-cubic feet.

The Cost of Moving

The representative must see everything to be moved, including any items in the garage, basement or attic. This moving quote estimate you receive will detail the charges for packing and transporting your household goods. But normally extra pickups or deliveries, servicing of electrical appliances or additional insurance in case any item is lost or damaged in transit will not be considered in the estimate. Only one invoice will be received regardless of how your shipment is transported. You (or your employer, if you are being transferred) will be given the invoice.
Signing an Order For Service
