Stress-test the plan

Run one optimistic and one conservative version. In the conservative case, increase housing setup and shipping by at least 15%, assume income starts later than expected, and include a reserve for travel back abroad, medical needs, replacement electronics, and exchange-rate movements.

After you have the budget

Get comparable shipping quotes

Compare airline baggage, postal parcels, door-to-door luggage services and full relocation shipping using the same weight, dimensions, coverage, customs treatment and delivery address.

Use the total delivered cost rather than the headline shipping price.
