However, Sefco Export is a specialty service provider and good reliable service does not come free. Please feel free to share with our office a copy of any 3rd party survey report that you may have - if you do not opt to prepay for our own professional ESR surveyor's fee. We can easily analyze any 3rd party survey report and provide an opinion. You should already be a <a href="#housecalls">Sefco customer</a> (deposit received) for us to dispatch personnel to a pickup site. <blockquote> If you are not already an existing Sefco customer, please pay in advance for the export surveyor fee. For a knowledgeable export surveyor to come to a private residence and create a detailed survey report, expect a charge of $ 175.00 (depending on location) to be prepaid. </blockquote> Our origin / export surveyors dispatch from our CFS/warehouse locations which are generally located in most major metropolitan areas. For origin sites further than 35 miles from our bases of operations (ie., 150 miles from any major city) please inquire as to the extra cost. <br><br> The <b>ESR-Export Survey Report</b> fee is non-refundable. However, if you subsequently use Sefco for your export packing/shipping, deduct this fee from our export packaging bill. <br> <br> <b>Special features</b>:<br> In some locations (please ask) a <b>digital photographic record</b> will be made to document the condition of certain fragile, unique or expensive items - taken prior to the export packaging. Reports are methodologically prepared, often starting at the front door and moving room by room. Those items receiving special export packaging, crating or handling will therefore have a permanent record which can be used for insurance inventory purposes. It is an independently generated professional report. <p><hr><p> <strong><font size="+1"> <font color="#436EEE">Pre-Export Inspection Services <br> ...use as a planning tool. </font></font></strong> <br> The <b>ESR-export survey report</b> can be a very useful tool for governmental or other corporate accounts needing to independently confirm conditions at a site, using a reliable 3rd party report. An officer of an international agency or Mission can be given a realistic and reasonably accurate account of what exists (weight/measure, special requirements for task) to compare to any government or corporate allowance. Reliable information will help an account to properly budget and plan for an upcoming - or contemplated - international operation. The account is not obligated to use Sefco Export to arrange for the overseas shipment. The <b>ESR-export survey report</b> can be a "stand alone" service. <p><hr><p> FYI: An average total "piece count" for 1 x 20-ft container of household goods/personal effects can average @ 120-150 pieces. For a 40-ft container, it's double that number. Therefore, a true and accurate formal <b>ESR-export survey report</b> entails creation of a comprehensive and reasonably accurate examination.<p> Overseas door to door moving is not the same things as a local move. They are totally different operations. <p> Pricing: Local mover estimates may rely on unskilled "raw" labor which is contracted for, by the hour. Local movers are not export packers or international agents. Sefco Export does not arrange local moves. We cater to export/import operations, moves that cross an international border. If someone needs to contract for "labor to load goods only", that is strictly between the local mover and the property owner. <p>To learn more about volume, please see: <br> <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/about-volume.htm#learn">www.sefco-export.com/about-volume.htm#learn</a><p> <br> Please feel free to access our "<a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/agents.htm#exportsurvey">self-service</a>" tools, to help with any self-examination you may like to take. <br><br><a name="noneed"> </a> <font size="+1">Do you need it?</font> <br>On the other hand, <b>maybe you do not need an ESR-export survey report.</b> Are you planning to use a 20-ft or 40-ft container for your own exclusive-use? Sending household goods? If you opt to "PBO-pack by owner" your goods, "<a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/origin.htm">origin services</a>" are a separate matter. In that case, if you self pack and load the 20-ft or 40-ft FCL container - then as long as your goods can fit inside the container - it's your property - and it is non-hazardous, then it's one basic rate - confirmed in writing by our office - for transport services without labor. We do not need to survey goods that will not be export-packaged by our origin packing agents. <p>With or without our P-premium packing service...<br> <b>You can still be a Sefco Export customer for the basic shipping/handling services. </b> <br><br><br> <b>Commercial exporters: </b><br> <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/email.htm#salesdirector">Ask us</a> for a referral to one of our commercial testers. <br>Example: [preshipment inspection report - <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/optimus.gif">MALT in bulk</a>] <br> Please <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/purchase.htm#register">register your company</a> with Sefco prior to test date. <br><br> Contacts for 3rd party professional <b>pre-export inspections</b>: [<a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/business.htm#inspections">click here</a>]. <br> <br> <br> <table bgcolor="#CAE1FF" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="6"> <tr><td><a name="housecalls"> <br> <center> <img src="http://www.sefco-export.com/surveyfee1.jpg"> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/surveyfee1.jpg">www.sefco-export.com/surveyfee1.jpg</a> <br>Print out this proforma invoice <br>and send to our office along with your check. </center><br> </td></tr></table> </blockquote> <p> <br>E-mail your request to:<br> <a href="mailto:info@sefco-export.com"> info@sefco-export.com</a> <br> Please be sure to give your complete name, address, telephone number(s), email address, best time to contact you, and general time frame for when you would like to export surveyor to come to your site.
