People sometimes wonder why aliyah shipments to Israel cannot be quoted instantly online the way UPS or FedEx packages can. The main reason is that every international move is different, and there are simply too many variables involved.
To provide an accurate shipping quote to Israel, we usually need to know a few important things first:
- Where you are moving from
Shipping costs can vary greatly depending on the pickup city and state. A shipment from Teaneck is different from one in Miami, Toronto, or Denver. - Where you are moving in Israel
Delivery to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Efrat, Haifa, or a smaller community in the north or south can affect pricing and logistics. - What you are shipping
A shipment of mostly boxes is very different from shipping furniture, artwork, appliances, fragile items, or a piano. - Family size
This may sound unusual, but family size often helps estimate the volume of clothing, toys, books, and personal belongings being shipped.
Unlike standard package shipping, aliyah shipments are usually customized for each family. Packing services, extra stairs, long distances to the truck, elevators, difficult access, insurance, and delivery requirements can all affect the final cost.
Pricing is also kept private and individualized. Shipping companies generally do not publish detailed customer pricing publicly because competitors could simply undercut quotes by a small amount without necessarily offering the same level of service.
