Full-service moving
A successful international move involves several moving parts. We bring those services together so you don’t have to manage separate providers for every stage of your relocation.
From professional packing and crating to ocean or air transportation, customs support, storage, and final delivery, our services can be tailored to the needs of your household and destination.
International shipments travel much farther and face different handling conditions than a typical domestic move. Our professional packing services prepare furniture, household goods, fragile belongings, and other possessions for international transportation.
We use appropriate packing materials and techniques for the items being shipped, with additional protection available for delicate or high-value belongings.
Some possessions need more than standard boxes and wrapping. Our custom crating services provide purpose-built protection for selected high-value, fragile, oversized, or unusually shaped items.
Custom crates can be used for fine art, antiques, pianos, sculptures, collectibles, and other belongings that require additional protection during international transportation from the US.
Furniture and household belongings can be professionally wrapped before they are packed and transported. Proper wrapping helps protect surfaces from scratches, dust, moisture, and other handling-related concerns during a long-distance international move.
Moving your household overseas? Our household goods shipping services are designed for furniture, personal belongings, boxes, and other possessions that need to travel from your current home to your new residence.
Shipments can be arranged by ocean or air depending on the size of your move, timeline, and transportation requirements.
Ocean freight is a practical option for many larger international household shipments. We provide full-container and shared container options, allowing your shipping arrangement to be matched to the size of your belongings.
When timing is more important, air freight can provide a faster transportation alternative to ocean shipping. Our international air shipping services can be considered for household belongings or other shipments where reducing transit time is a priority.
Your moving specialist can help determine whether air freight makes sense based on the shipment and destination.
Pianos require specialized handling because of their size, weight, construction, and sensitivity to environmental and physical conditions.
Our international piano moving services include specialized preparation, protective packing, custom crating, and international transportation. Depending on the move, additional protection and storage solutions may also be available.
Taking your vehicle with you? We provide international car shipping for customers relocating overseas with their vehicles.
Transportation options can include container, RORO, or deck shipping depending on the vehicle and shipment requirements, with documentation handled as part of the process.
Fine art, antiques, heirlooms, and other irreplaceable possessions require a different level of care. Our specialty moving services can include protective packing, custom crating, documentation support, and carefully planned ocean or air transportation.
For particularly delicate or valuable pieces, specialized handling and white-glove services can provide additional protection throughout the relocation.
Not every move happens on a perfectly synchronized schedule. Your U.S. home may be sold before your overseas home is ready, or you may simply need more time before shipping everything.
We provide short- and long-term storage options for household belongings. Containerized storage can reduce unnecessary handling, while climate-controlled storage is available at select warehouses for certain sensitive belongings.

Helpful answers
Yes. You do not need to have every item or the final shipment volume determined before contacting us. We can discuss the size and nature of your move, your origin and destination, moving date, packing requirements, storage needs, and any specialty items you plan to ship. This information helps us assess your requirements and prepare an international moving quote based on the services your move will require.
Customs authorities may inspect an international shipment as part of the clearance process. We help with the documentation and customs requirements associated with your move and coordinate with the relevant parties when additional information or action is required. If an inspection affects the timing of delivery, we can keep the move coordinated through the clearance process and arrange the next steps once the shipment is released.
Yes. Our international car shipping services can be coordinated as part of a door-to-door move, covering transportation from the pickup location through international shipping and destination delivery. We also assist with the documentation and customs requirements involved in moving a vehicle internationally, helping keep the vehicle shipment coordinated alongside the rest of your relocation.
We assess fragile and high-value belongings based on their size, construction, condition, and shipping requirements before they are packed. Depending on the item, we use professional wrapping, protective packing materials, custom crating, and specialized handling to reduce the risk of movement or damage during transportation. Fine art, antiques, pianos, and other delicate items can receive additional preparation and protection suited to their specific requirements.
Your move may involve multiple stages across countries, so coordination at the destination is an important part of the process. Our network of 600+ agents around the world helps support the international transportation and destination-side services needed to complete your move. This allows us to coordinate key stages of your relocation, from international shipping and customs requirements through destination delivery.
Yes. We handle packing services in the U.S. with our own staff rather than outsourcing this part of your move to outside contractors or third-party moving companies. This gives us direct oversight of how your household goods are prepared, wrapped, packed, and secured before they begin their international journey.
The earlier you begin planning, the more time you have to organize your moving date, packing, transportation, documentation, storage, and destination services. Contacting us early is especially useful when you have a fixed departure date or a large household shipment.
