Moving from Dubai to San Francisco
San Francisco sits in California, a compact, steeply hilly city. Fusion Relocations has moved households out of the UAE since 2010, and a move to San Francisco is run end to end by one coordinator — export packing at your home in Dubai, freight, customs at both ends, and delivery into your new address.
Getting your belongings into San Francisco
Access is the thing that most often catches people out here. Streets in the older parts of San Francisco were not built for a 40-foot vehicle, and many buildings have no lift and a stairwell too tight for large furniture. We survey for this before quoting: where a shuttle vehicle is needed, where an external hoist is the sensible option, and where a permit has to be applied for in advance. It is cheaper to plan for than to discover on the day.
Hills, no driveways and permit-only curb space — a parking permit for the truck is step one. Our destination partner surveys for all of this before we quote, so the price already reflects how your street and your building actually work.
Where to go next
We deliberately do not publish transit times or duty thresholds for the USA: both track the carrier schedule and rule changes at destination. Your quote carries the live numbers. Ask us for a written quote.
