Since 1977
Two generations. One promise.
Lane Moving & Storage began in 1977, Gerry Lane and a crew of eleven, moving Manila's families and businesses with a standard the industry hadn't seen. Forty-nine years and a second generation later, the family still signs off on every international move.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Can I bring my household goods to the Philippines duty-free?
Often, yes. Returning Filipinos and many visa-holders can import used personal and household effects duty-free, provided they've been owned and used for at least 6 months and aren't in commercial quantities. We handle the Bureau of Customs paperwork and a licensed broker for you.
How long does shipping to the Philippines take?
Ocean freight runs roughly 4-6 weeks from the US, 6-8 from Europe, and 2-4 from Asia; air freight is 3-7 days. Allowing for survey, customs, and delivery, door-to-door is typically 8-14 weeks end to end.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For an international move, start 2-4 months ahead to allow time for the survey, documentation, customs prep, and shipping. For a local move within the Philippines, 2-4 weeks is ideal, though we can often move faster when needed.
Do you offer storage and insurance?
Yes. We have secure, climate-controlled warehousing with 24/7 monitoring, short or long term, and all-risk insurance covering the full replacement value of your goods, in transit and in storage.
Can you move pianos, fine art, and antiques?
Yes, our specialist Fine Arts division does museum-grade packing and crating, trusted by Manila's top museums and galleries. Every irreplaceable piece gets a custom crate and white-glove handling.
