Who this page is for
Door pickup on the NY–FL corridor — then overseas delivery.
Counter run vs door pickup
Meest and parcel shops are right for one small box. Van-sized awkward freight is our job — same corridor crew as Duma Mini Moving.

Fine for one small carton

Where we pick up
Door pickup runs on the same New York ↔ Florida corridor as our small-load moves: NYC, New Jersey, Philadelphia area, Washington DC / Maryland / Virginia, the Carolinas, and South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Sunny Isles, Hallandale). ZIP outside the route? We’ll say so before you pay — bring freight to a stop on the corridor or we decline.

1. Decide if you need a van
One small carton you can carry → a retail counter may be enough. Multiple boxes, luggage, furniture, or no car → door pickup on a moving corridor is the product this guide describes.
2. Weigh and measure
Use pounds and inches. Billable weight is the greater of actual lb and L×W×H ÷ 166. Light but bulky boxes often bill on volume — that is normal in air freight.
3. Get the estimate
Open the calculator: destination, cargo type, weight, optional dimensions, door pickup on. You will see $1.75/lb + destination delivery + $35 pickup when collection is selected.
4. Leave a contact and wait for confirmation
We confirm prohibited items, address access, and the final billable weight philosophy before the van is booked. Pay structure is confirmed on the quote — not a surprise after loading.
5. Pickup day
Have boxes closed and labeled. Clear the path. Someone 18+ should be present or leave written access instructions. We load, scan/note weights, and move freight to the hub for overseas shipping.
Questions people ask
Real booking questions — not generic shipping FAQ filler.
Do I need a commercial invoice?
Personal effects often use a simpler contents list. New merchandise may need more — we tell you on the quote.
Can I track the shipment?
Tracking depth depends on the lane. We share what exists for your booking.
