If the ports in Israel are not on strike, allow about five weeks. You usually cannot take your lift out of the port until you have an apartment. Free pick up from home and delivery to the warehouse. There is a port tax in Israel which is extra as well as housing charges. All of the above can be included for free and still cost you less than the door to door amount.
Some companies charge extra per cubic foot for door to door service.
Most of the moving companies offer the same quality of service, despite their claims to the contrary. If the contract includes packing, beware that packers will not pack as neatly and as compactly as you would. Before you run off and pack everything yourself, remember that the savings will be no more than a few cubic feet. Some companies are starting to use a heavy cardboard. If you are sending a relatively small amount then the Lift is probably better.
