Insurance Costs
You are charged 60 cents per pound of weight and it ensures that your items are insured so that, if any kind of trouble or damage occurs on your belongings; it can be refunded by its worth or value. Although, this is an optional service but it can be concluded in the bill too.
Packaging Costs
Most of the cargo companies who provide full moving services to its clients, will include the cost of packing materials and the working hours that were applied for the packing. So be sure to discuss these costs with your selected company that you want to hire.
Express Delivery
If you want the freight forwarding company to move your packaging faster than an average then be ready to be charged extra for it; under the tag of “Express Delivery”. This means that your goods will be transferred faster than average.
