Moving volume calculator

Estimating your total volume will give you a better idea about your move. Use our volume estimation tool below to get estimated the volume (in cubic feet) and total weight you’ll need for your shipment.

Note: Your actual items will most likely vary in size, dimension & weight compared with our example items listed below, so this tool is best used to determine a rough approximation or range for the volume of your shipment.

Very smooth move from Germany to the US. Earth Relocation handled the process on the US side for me. Customs, import and move. The truck arrived on time and gave me perfect notice. The crew was professional and friendly; very fast and efficient too. That was a great experience. Can recommend their service highly.

We moved to Portugal with Earth Relocation and they provided us with a 40 FT container to move our furniture and Vehicle. Overall it was one of our best moving experiences, their pricing was competitive (not the cheapest which we did not want anyways) and the coordination of the whole move was worry free and smooth. We were nervous about moving during the COVID times but their crew was well prepared and kept our safety in mind while working in our home, the crew was well equipped with masks/gloves and face shields which gave us huge confidence. They also recommended us to show the goods to be packed and stay outdoors to minimize the exposure of risk. Their Portuguese partner Invictus was also great and we started communicating with Invictus long before the shipment even left the US. We just received our goods at our new home in Porto and everything was unpacked and settled in. It is therefore my pleasure to recommend this wonderful moving company to others in similar need and dilemma like us.

I used Earth Relocation to move my goods from New York to Darmstadt, Germany. Their service was prompt and the overall move experience was excellent. As an expat who has moved globally several times, I understand that moving process is not easy and having a successful every time can only work if both the assignee and service provider work hand in hand. While it is never possible to deliver a perfect moving service each time, from all the experiences we had - this one was one of the best. While I see like every company , Earth Relocation has some negative reviews too, in my opinion one should consider the service provider who has immense experience and has delivered most positive moves as 100% positive reviews are never going to be real! This is my honest feedback about their service.

I used Earth Relocation for 7 years (1 year for moving, and the other 6 years for storage). Raymond (my agent) was incredibly helpful during each step of the process. I am from California, so it's often difficult for me to converse in Mandarin, but there was no language barrier between me and Raymond (as he is also from California). I cannot tell you how much of a relief that was--especially since I had to keep my things in storage for so long. I highly recommend Earth Relocation. They are trustworthy, professional, and worth every penny!

Kapil and his team helped me move my stuff from California to Pune India. Excellent experience. Expectations were rightly set and received my stuff in good condition. Good collaboration between all the teams working across border. Will definitely recommend their service.

I used Earth Relocation on behalf of my grandmother, who was moving from Foresthill, CA to Kavala, Greece. Both locations were rather remote, which complicated matters. Furthermore, my grandmother had a restricted budget, which was a further limitation. Kapil was patient and creative, providing options that would allow us to accomplish the move. In particular, we packed our own household goods and brought them to their warehouse, which reduced the overall move by 20%, bringing it within budget. Their receiving location near San Francisco was also very helpful. Some of the items had not been packed well by us, and they helped re-pack on the spot. Their partner in Greece, Attica Movers, were also very patient and helpful, guiding us through the requirements for the importation of the shipment, as well as dealing with an address change in the final destination. All the boxes arrived without any damage. As with every move there were extra charges. However, all of the charges were explained well in advance and were clearly stated in the contract. I had agreed on a particular charge (unloading the shipment beyond the second floor) prior to delivery. After my grandmother changed her address to the second floor, unbeknownst to me, Attica Movers contacted me and notified me that the charge would not be levied. Very pleasant surprise! All in all, it was a very good experience, and I would not hesitate in contracting Earth Relocation for other international moves again.

I am giving Earth Relocation 5 stars although I didn't complete my move for financial reasons. I was in communication with Kapil for a couple of months and he never missed a beat. He cane to my place to conduct a thorough complimentary inventory and provided me with the list of items and detailed volume. He responded to all my emails rapidly unlike other companies' agents who leave you hanging for days or even completely ignore your questions and concerns. He was professional and patient with me and remained polite even when I let him know that I was canceling my move. Thank you Kapil!
