door-to-door move
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
"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".
