The short answer
Most household moves from the mainland to Puerto Rico land between $3,780 and $24,640 for transportation. A studio out of Florida sits at the bottom of that range, a four-bedroom out of Seattle at the top. Two numbers decide where you land: how many cubic feet you actually own, and which coast you are leaving from.
Ocean freight is priced on volume, not weight. A pallet of books and a pallet of pillows cost the same, which is why a mover who quotes you by phone without an inventory is guessing.
This console occupies about 25 cubic feet wrapped, roughly $300 of freight. Volume is what you pay for, so the wrap adds a little and the weight adds nothing.Anything that comes apart travels flatter and costs less. Our movers break down beds, tables and dressers on the mainland side and reassemble them at your island address.A stack like this is about 45 cubic feet. Five of them fill a studio-sized load, which is where the table below starts.Debris removal is in the price. What you do not pay for is a second trip because the truck was loaded out of order.

Three loads, priced out line by line
One-bedroom, Orlando to Condado
520 cu ft after the survey, client packed the boxes. Transportation $6,100 plus the $560 binding fee, elevator window and certificate of insurance filed by us. $6,660 total, $1,998 deposit at booking.
Three-bedroom house, Dallas to Dorado
1,320 cu ft with full packing. Transportation $15,708, packing $1,848, binding fee $560. $18,116 before the car, which is quoted separately once we have the title.
Studio, Charlotte to Rincon
310 cu ft in shared container space, client packed. Transportation $3,689 plus the $560 binding fee, and a shuttle on the west-coast leg quoted at the survey. $4,249 before the shuttle line.
Four ways to bring the number down
Sell the cheap furniture. At roughly $12 per cubic foot, a $200 particle-board dresser costs about $420 to ship. Beds, sofas and anything solid wood are worth the freight; flat-pack usually is not.
Pack your own boxes. Full packing runs $1.40 per cubic foot. On a 1,000 cu ft load that is $1,400 you can keep.
Share the container. Under about 600 cu ft you pay only for your space. It adds a few days to the delivery window and takes a real bite out of the price.
Move off-peak. June through August and the last week of any month fill first, when leases turn over. A mid-month sailing in February is the cheapest slot on the calendar.
What is not in the price
Arbitrios on a vehicle, which Hacienda assesses on book value and you pay directly. Anything you leave for a handyman on the island: TV mounting, appliance hookups, curtain rods. And valuation above the standard released rate, which is optional and priced on declared value.
A deposit of 30% holds your sailing slot and is credited to the invoice. The balance is due on delivery, not before.
The seven questions that come up on almost every moving call.
Is moving to Puerto Rico an international move?
No. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory: no customs duty, no passport, no visa. It still needs ocean freight and a Hacienda declaration on the island side. We handle both.
How much does it cost to move to Puerto Rico?
By volume, not weight. From the East Coast a one-bedroom move runs $4,760 to $7,035, a three-bedroom $12,518 to $16,800. The binding written estimate is free and locks the number in.
How long does it take?
Two to four weeks door to door. Only 2 to 4 days is water time; the rest is loading, staging, sailing schedule and island release.
Can you ship my car?
Yes. Empty and washed, because USDA turns back dirty wheel wells. Bring the original title, plus lien-holder authorization if financed. Arbitrios are assessed on book value.
When should I book?
Three to four weeks out. June through August and month-end fill first, when leases turn over.
What if the sailing is delayed?
A carrier-side delay does not change the price you signed. You hear it from us the day we know, not the day you ask.
Do you need a deposit?
A deposit of 30% holds your sailing slot and is credited to the invoice. The balance is due on delivery.
