Quotation

What is a quotation?

A quotation is a formal document provided by PSS setting out the scope and cost of your international removal. PSS provides different types of quotes:

  • Indicative online quotation — based on estimated average volumes using our online cost calculator, which provides a rough estimate.
  • Survey quote – A more accurate estimate based on volume calculated by a PSS surveyor/estimator.
  • Self-survey quote – based on the volume of the items that a customer supplies.
  • Quotes generally include door-to-door collection and delivery, packing materials, standard customs clearance and export packing for our removals service.
  • Quotes don’t include customs inspection fees, duties and taxes or additional products and services such as standard liability cover and custom crates.
  • Quotes are estimates, and your final cost will be based on the volume you actually ship and the rates in effect at the time of shipping.

 PSS Tip: We recommend getting a quotation based on a home survey before committing to your booking, especially for larger moves. PSS home surveys are free and carry no obligation.
