door-to-door move

Explanation:
I think "door-to-door move" is sometimes shortened to "door move." In both cases, it means shipping something to a specific point of delivery.

Door-to-door

2. sent direct from the point of pickup to the point of delivery, as a shipment or order of merchandise.

delivery from door to shipment, and/or from destination to door

Explanation:
"If your shipment is destined for a door move at origin or destination, please click here."

Your sentence clearly defines two different moves, pre-shipment (origin) and post-shipment (destination) door moves.

The pre-shipment door move means that the cargo is picked up directly, from the "door" of the sender (in practice from the pick-up point defined in the consignment contract) and the post-shipment door move is the delivery to the consignee's address after it arrived to a port or airport.

The client can choose either of the origin or destination "door move", or both: that would be the "door-to-door move".

This company provides the following services:
