There are only 3 reasons why you would want to move an item (albeit long distance)
1) It is unobtainable in the region you need the item to be at
2) It costs more to buy or make the item in that region
3) It has sentimental value

If your item doesn't hit those 3 criteria listed then it is uneconomical to move it. That is why I decided the $12000+ to move items was a bad idea with Asian Tigers (AT) - I could for the price they offered replace most of the items 5 times over than to use AT.
In fact I was able to ship 97% of the items for $2300, the rest I sold off and can replace.
They (AT) didn't call me back the first time I called them, they couldn't give me a simple quote (after all this time as a professional company you'd think they would have worked out a rough quote system) I was able to give a rough but close approximation of volumetric size and weight and AT still couldn't give me an answer. (I'd already some movement of freight before and had dimensional specs from that point and pricing, so I already knew a fair value that I should be spending. In the end they gave me an extortionate rate but couldn't justify their results.
When I questioned AT well they never replied I guess that was my real answer. If you have more money than sense than by all means use AT.
