Packing service

Do you not have the time or prefer not to pack your belongings yourself? Or do you want to ensure everything is packed according to regulations? Our packing service is the perfect solution. Our movers will visit your home and pack your belongings quickly and efficiently, bringing boxes, tape and labels. At destination, an international moving partner will unpack everything at your new home.

Storage during temporary relocation

Are you moving to America temporarily but need to leave your home in the Netherlands? You can store your household goods, excess furniture or archives with us. We use secure storage containers (for example 8 m³). You pay a fixed monthly rate. Thanks to smart solutions and automation, we offer attractive pricing. Contact us for rates.

Disassembly and reassembly of furniture

To optimize container space, furniture needs to be dismantled. Our experienced movers can do this quickly and professionally. All screws and fittings are carefully stored. In the US, we recommend arranging a handyman for reassembly.

Moving your household goods to the USA

The support of an international moving company is invaluable when emigrating. Through our global network, your shipment arrives safely and efficiently. Every week we ship multiple groupage containers and air freight shipments to America. This makes us true specialists in moves to the US. Thanks to our reliable network, you can expect the same level of service in America as in Europe.

Shipping options to America

You can ship your belongings by air or sea. In most cases, sea freight is preferred due to lower costs.
  • Full Container Load (FCL): a private container
  • Groupage: shared container with other families
Groupage is the most cost-effective solution as costs are shared. Transit times may be slightly longer compared to a private container. We recommend starting your planning early.

Transit times

Transit time depends on the transport method and destination:
  • West Coast (e.g. Los Angeles), full container: approx. 5–6 weeks
  • West Coast, groupage: approx. 8–10 weeks
  • East Coast (e.g. Miami/New York), full container: approx. 3–4 weeks
  • East Coast, groupage: approx. 6–8 weeks
Air freight: a few days

Costs
