HW Shipping has extensive experience with the transportation of household goods and personal effects. We realize it is a very stressful time when a person moves their belongings from one home to another. More so when the relocation is over great distances and even across the globe.
As most consumers pay for their relocations out of their own pocket, they are always looking for cost effective solutions as well as various options to save money. Whether we are shipping your goods to a destination port, terminal or straight to door, our company will help analyze the best available alternatives to help you make the most educated decision.
You don’t have to be experienced to be able to get the best deal. You simply need to have an idea what kind of service you’re looking for and the budget you’re working with. The more assistance you can offer, the less expensive the cost of relocation. The more labor intensive services that are required, the higher the overall cost will be. Possible options are self packing or even drop off at a nearby terminal versus mover packing and door pickup. At destination, goods can always be picked up at local terminals/ports instead of door delivery. Savings could be as much as 40%.

The main thing to keep in mind when deciding on the type of service is that surface freight throughout the US and to Canada is determined by overall weight of your shipment. The closer you can estimate the approximate weight, the more precise our rate will be. If you’re only shipping boxes, we offer an economy curbside service via UPS Freight. If you’re shipping furniture as well, we offer full service disassembly and wrapping via our Atlas Vanline moving team.
