We recently completed an international move of our household goods from Moscow, Russia to Enumclaw, Washington with International Sea & Air Shipping. Overall, we had a very good experience. Our shipment included a large sectional sofa and several boxes with personal and sentimental items. Everything arrived safely and in good condition, including the sofa, which was especially important to us. International shipping is a long process and there were a few unexpected circumstances along the way, including a customs inspection in Lithuania, but Bryan kept us informed and was always helpful in answering our questions. The final delivery went very smoothly. The crew arrived within the scheduled window, brought everything inside, assembled the sectional sofa, and removed all the packing materials. Most importantly, everything we chose to ship made it safely from Moscow to our home in Washington. We are very happy to finally have these things back with us and are satisfied with the service provided by International Sea & Air Shipping. I would recommend them to anyone planning an international move.

We are so pleased that we selected International Sea and Air Shipping for our move from New Jersey to Bremen, Germany. It was a huge move as we had lived in the same home for 49 years! We did research many reviews of moving companies and basically from the reviews we finally chose ISAS. From the administration to the packing crew in New Jersey to the unpacking crew in Bremen, everything was very organized and it all worked out great. Of course, with a big move like this there will always be little glitches but the company was very responsive and answered questions promptly. Their moving crews were absolutely the best and went over and beyond their duties. Everything was wrapped very well and the unpacking crew in Germany were so helpful and also did even more than we expected. Putting some of our old furniture back together was a back breaking job and they did it without a complaint. As well, our house in Germany is very old and many stairs to the second floor. Not a complaint by their crew! We can only highly recommend ISAS very highly.

International Sea & Air Shipping made our move from the USA to Spain completely seamless. The packing crew was extremely professional, and every single household item arrived in Spain in perfect condition with zero damage. Throughout the entire journey, communication was proactive, clear, and prompt, which made navigating international logistics stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone planning an international move.

We used International Sea and Air Shipping to move our daughter from the US to the UK to start her PhD in London. All of her belongings arrived in excellent condition and she said that the crew who unloaded were very friendly, polite and professional. The whole process was very smooth and they were excellent at communicating where we were at the various steps along the way. Everyone was very professional and friendly (especially Robert and Jeanine) and we really appreciate it!

The shipping process - both pick up and delivery - was excellent and efficient. I received a reminder about completing all of the required forms and authorization quite late in the process, which caused some stress, but it all worked out well.

Excellent communication throughout the process. My interactions with International Sea & Air Shipping were exceptional as well as with the international team for delivery. I would absolutely recommend them for an international move! I did notice after the Atlanta team left that the downstairs bathroom had been missed as well as a few kitchen items. We had to just throw things away. Check after the packers to be sure they got everything, but that's no fault of International Se & Air Shipping.
