$8K-$12K seems rather high. We recently moved all of our household goods and one vehicle from a remote island in Panama to TV, and we paid just over $11K. For the $11k the moving company came from Panama City to our home on the island, totally packed up everything (114 boxes, furniture, and auto) as we were not allowed to pack anything due to U.S. customs regulations. We didn't have to lift a finger. Our goods were taken to Panama City, put on a ship and sent to Miami where it was picked up by A1 Fargo, an agent of Atlas. Atlas delivered to our door in TV, unpacked all the boxes, and hauled away all of the bubble wrap, packing paer, boxes, etc. This was definitely the easiest move we have ever made (and hopefully the last!), well worth every penny.
