Colchester to Illinois, USA
We were impressed not only with the 1st Move International team that came to the house in England to pack up furniture and house goods, but also with the "local" delivery driver in the USA who delivered the pallet here. Also, the price was very reasonable.

Exeter to Arizona, USA
We had two separate moves: England to AZ and Vermont to AZ.
The US company we used was a disaster.
Everything that could go wrong went wrong- 1st Move International was the exact opposite.
Very professional, very communicative, and efficient.
We were confident that everything we packed arrived and was unharmed.
Packaging was impressive.
Communication was clear and payment was easy.
Worth every penny/pence!

Thank you.
Oliver M
London to Las Vegas, USA
Tessa and the team at 1st Move were great and so helpful throughout the moving process.
Our items arrived in perfect condition, a few weeks later outside of the range of time of the original estimate due to some delays at the destination warehouse but they answered any questions we had during this time.
We would definitely use them again.

1st Move International was excellent in communication of their services and in answering all of my questions. I didn't feel like there were any surprises with shipping my personal belongings. Everything arrived within the estimated time frame.
Kelsey
London to New York, USA
This is the second time I have shipped personal effects from the UK to the USA with 1st Move International. In contrast to my previous experiences with larger well-known companies, 1st Move have been reliable with good communication and excellent, careful packaging, resulting in a safe and intact shipment. The company’s 1st Move worked with on the US side were very helpful and responded promptly to my e-mails. It was helpful to be able to track the container ship on a phone app after it left Tilbury Docks and reassuring to see my shipment packed up on pallets prior to loading. Our wall clock had its own specially made wooden box and suffered no damage.
Fiona

Maurice
Sheffield to Connecticut, USA
UK to US with flying colors! I shipped furniture and personal items from my parent’s house in Sheffield UK to Connecticut USA after they passed away so more sentimental than anything else. Included rocking chair, dresser, chest, glassware, old records etc. Have to say I am thrilled with the outcome. I put 100% trust in them and they came through with flying colors. From day 1 getting a quote to receiving everything in one piece. I never met anyone, not even when they picked up in Sheffield, but I felt comfortable with them as they communicated well and were confident of their own process. Many thanks!
Nick
Didcot to Florida, USA
We're happy to confirm that we have received our shipment yesterday, within the expected timeline. We wanted to note that the pallet was really well packed. I also wanted to say thank you for your patience and precious help throughout this whole process!

Movers showed up bright and early this morning and are almost done. Nice guys, they've been professional and quick!
Lori
Paignton to Tennessee, USA
I did a lot of research into various shipping companies for my family's house move overseas. 1st Move had a significant advantage over the others in speed and cost. The moving crew was also pleasant and efficient. I was especially happy that they took special care with fragile items like artwork and heirlooms. Good stuff. Thanks guys!
Bob
Bristol to Texas, USA
The two fellows that did the packing were great. Big thanks to them.
Mark
Maidstone to Washington, USA
Moving household effects from UK to the USA is, by nature, complicated by paperwork and odd sized items. The move was completed with comprehensive and immediate help from the staff both online or by 'phone. Items were collected from storage unit in the UK and delivered kerbside in the USA with no problems and on schedule. Packing was excellent with extensive padding and protective wrapping. All in all an outstanding service.
Mary
Windsor to California, USA
Thank you for a seamless experience with you and your colleagues
Dave
Farnham to New York, USA
Highly recommended. The process was straightforward and well managed with professional but friendly support. The communication was clear and transparent throughout. Their agent in the US also went above and beyond.
Christopher
Crawley to California, USA
Very knowledgeable and helpful throughout
Michelle
Bristol to New York, USA
I had a very good experience working with First Move to ship furniture from England to USA. Staff are friendly and helpful, offering good advice about filling in quirky customs documentation and other aspects of the procedure. Everything went to plan. Tracked the container ship leaving London and arriving in New York. Furniture arrived very nicely packaged. The only stressful part was trying to contact the local delivery company to see if they needed assistance unloading the pallet from their truck. Their 'phone system was down for several days apparently. However, when the truck showed up they managed to move the pallet into my garage so everything worked out ok. I would definitely recommend 1st move and will probably use them again in future.
Neil
Leicester to Michigan, USA
The entire process was expertly, professionally and efficiently handled from beginning to end. Extremely careful handling of my property, everything exactly as planned in terms of timing and cost. One of the most important things was that communication was regular, accurate and continuous. I am so pleased that I found this company and would recommend them to anyone shipping goods Overseas. Unpacking at this end was quite fascinating to see how incredibly efficiently and safely things had been packed.
Michael
London to New York, USA
My things were moved safely and nothing was lost. The packer was efficient and the delivery was much earlier than they said.
Joanna
Ealing to Florida, USA
Move went very smoothly and everything was packaged securely and nothing was damaged.

Michael
Woking to Washington, USA
We hired 1st Move International to pick up our belongings from a UK warehouse and deliver them to our new address in WA, USA. We packed everything ourselves as far as boxes go, but we had some furniture and bigger items that did not fit any boxes. Some of those had to be repacked and reorganized. 1st Move was very precise in doing that, taking special care of fragile items (e.g. our record collection). Everything arrived in perfect condition. Nothing was damaged in any way. They were also on top of their communication, always letting us know where our items were and when we could expect delivery. Actually, in the end, they were delivered a couple of days before schedule. All in all, it was an impeccable experience and we can only recommend 1st Move International.
Janos
London to New York, USA
1st Move were so friendly and helpful at every stage of my journey from London to New York. They answered all my questions very quickly, and kept me in the loop on all the developments, and were very flexible when I needed to store some of my stuff before shipping!
Georgia

Matt and Shane were incredibly professional and efficient! You have some great staff members on your Team!
Bennett
Wembley to Alabama, USA
These guys are top notch. We had them move two pallets worth of stuff from a storage container in London all the way to our new house in Alabama. Everything went way too smoothly. Every single item we had was professionally packed and carefully put together into two pallets. Not a single one of our items was damaged or is missing. Pricing was very close to the initial estimate, and their communication was thorough throughout the entire process. Could not be happier or recommend their services with more enthusiasm. Awesome job!!
Khalil
Colchester to Missouri, USA
Absolutely amazing! Very professional and trustworthy. Communication was always great and all our items that were shipped from UK to USA arrived in perfect condition and 10 days earlier than expected. Highly recommended!

Transparent, helpful, friendly and on time. Tessa made the whole process and completing the required documentation so transparent and easy. The two moving men who packed and transported our stuff were bang on time and so friendly, professional and respectful of our belongings. All in all a great service from the team.
Ellen
Scotland to New York, USA
Could not be happier. 1st Move International recently arranged the transport of household belongings from an address in Scotland to the US. We could not be happier with the way things worked out. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. From the initial consultation to the packing and shipping of our belongings, they were extremely professional and accommodating. Importantly, they handled all of the paperwork and customs forms, allowing us to relax knowing that this potentially problematic aspect was well taken care of. Their customer service was top-notch throughout. They were always available to answer any questions, and provided us with frequent updates on the status of our shipment. We would highly recommend 1st Move International to anyone looking for an experienced and reliable international shipping company. They made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. Not only were their rates highly competitive, but we’re extremely satisfied with the services they provided. We would definitely use them again.

US move was easy. We were very pleased with our move. The communication from them was excellent. Everything was explained and the instructions were very easy to follow. The pick up in England was on time and they were very professional. We were kept up to date as the move progressed. On arrival everything was well packed.

Jeff

My stuff sailed smoothly from the UK to Miami, packed and loaded without a hitch. Everything arrived safe and sound.
Andrew
Glastonbury to Arizona, USA
My items were packed and loaded in the UK and sailed to Miami without a problem. Everything arrived intact.
Rachel
Bristol to Texas, USA
I was really nervous in making my selection of which shipping company to use. Reviews for all companies I looked in to seemed to be quite mixed but the customer service from 1st Move International in answering all my initial questions was great. The cost was also really competitive and so I accepted their quote. The booking process was simple, the collection in the UK was well communicated, the tracking of my pallets on the ship from the UK to the USA was fun to follow and then the communication Stateside was also good. I was amazed that the eta given when my pallets left the UK was the exact date my stuff arrived at my house! I was expecting delays with the global shipping issues so that was a bonus. All of my boxes and furniture was well packed and arrived as I left them. All in all I had a great experience and would use them again.

Really pleased with the collection team they did an exceptional job, were fast, friendly and professional. They helped reassure my wife and were very good at helping her with the china items. I’ve been really pleased with your service and professionalism at all points.
Tim
Hounslow to California, USA
I would really like to say how pleased I am in having had 1st Move recommended to me. From the initial conversations with Tom, and the challenging situation of finalising a collection date with Dave, to the detailed communication received from various members of the teams to help us be ready and confident with shipping is ALL really great.
Claire
Theale to Georgia, USA
Thank you so much for making the process so smooth !!
Michael
Kensington to California, USA
We were pleased overall with the experience. There were a couple of plastic totes that broke during transit because of how they were packed (by us) and palletised (by 1st Move) but contents were absolutely fine.
Sandra
Tewkesbury to New York, USA
1st Move was great to work with and our relocation from London to the USA went well and was roughly delivered as estimated. The UK side was very smooth and had great service all around. The receiving end in the USA was not at good, with sparse service updates from the end contracted logistics company. The shipment arrived at our residential address with no pallet jack or way to get the actual pallets off of the truck, so definitely a miss for the "logistics experts" doing the delivery. All around, I'd recommend this service above other international shipping options that our friends have used, which have had many more challenges and delays.
Eric
Bristol to Ohio, USA
I would give more stars if I could! 1st Move shipped 4 large pallets from the UK to the US for me and what seemed like such a daunting task to me, they handled awesomely! I had 2 collection addresses and I was already in the US and wouldn't be there for the collections. 1st Move collected everything from my storage locker facility, who also gave great feedback how the collection went. The whole process went very smoothly, and I was very impressed how everything had been wrapped for protection. I spoke to various people at 1st Move and everyone was always very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend 1st Move anytime. Thank you so much!
A Summers
Portishead to Texas, USA
From start to finish the process to move our goods from the UK to the USA was seamless. Wonderful communication from everyone involved, and our belongings arrived in flawless condition. Highly recommend!
Gina G
Surrey to Massachusetts, USA
1st Move International handled a shipment of household stuff from Surrey UK to Boston USA for me. I thought they were amazing. It's a complicated thing to do, navigating customs review etc, but they made it so straightforward and easy to follow. Everything arrived ahead of scheduled and without damage - including glass and paintings. Super pleased with their service and I'd use them again.
A Spier
London to New Jersey, USA
1st Move International provided quality service for a move from the UK to the US. Communication from the company was prompt and helpful throughout the process. Belongings were wrapped carefully and arrived intact and in excellent condition, including delicate glassware. The quality work is competitively priced as well. In the midst of life's challenges, they made an international move an easy process.
R Dool
Cardiff to Tennessee, USA

C Urquieta
Winchester to Florida, USA
With the outset of covid and my belongings in storage in the UK and myself already located in the US. i found 1st move international very professional and informative although it took me three years to finally be reunited the process was made easy and felt that i was looked after. would definitely recommend the company and any associates connected.
R Langley
London to New York, USA
Shipped items from UK to San Diego - everything arrived safe and on-time!
Adeniyi
Wiltshire to TX, USA
After a few weeks of research we chose 1st Move (who were not the cheapest) but appeared to offer everything we required. I read some reviews which were both good and bad. (The bad made me wonder if we’d chose the right company to move our belongings) I can honestly say that whenever I had a query/question Tessa answered immediately. All staff that I had contact with were above and beyond helpful. We couldn’t fault the professionalism of the staff, even those that came to the house under Covid times. We packed the majority of items ourselves and left anything of value that required insuring to 1st move. Upon receiving our freight in Austin TX it was well packed, well sealed. Not a drop of moisture was visible anywhere. No items were damaged. The US delivery company were indeed 1 man, so expect when it states curb side drop off, that’s exactly what you get unless there is an option to get them to unload within your property. The only niggles I have is the small print really requires reading by everyone at the start of the process and familiarise yourself several weeks later, 4-6 week delivery was quoted, but that was a little on the optimistic side. I guess with all the world issues currently, it took 9 weeks door to door (but Covid is the new normal now and so this should always be factored in). Overall very satisfied and would recommend 1st Move to anyone and I’d certainly use them again if required.
M Pattinson
Haverfordwest to IN, USA
I've used Autoshippers and their sister company (1st Move International) 3 times for moving my personal possessions from the UK to the USA. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! They are professional, courteous and give excellent communication. They were extremely patient with my last shipment when it was delayed a number of times before delivering to them. I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone. And they are the only shipping company I will use, period. Thanks!
I Davies
Berkshire to Oregon, USA
Absolutely smashing experience end to end. Bespoke and curated. I've worked globally for a decade across the globe and have found the 1st Move International to be the best experience hands down.

J Rhead
Solihull to OK, USA
The professional team of 1st Move International took the stress and hassle of moving my things from the UK to USA ( during the pandemic ) with ease and comfort. From the start when I was just asking for information and quotations they were extremely helpful, polite and friendly and knowledgeable. I would like to say thank you to all of you, special shout out to Mike, Dave and Tessa and the wonderful gentleman (sorry I forgot his name) who picked up our things. It was a windy and rainy day when he went to the house. He was there on time as promised! I appreciated all the prompt emails. All details communicated every step of the way. Tessa, thank you for your help and patience for my never ending questions. All in all my things arrived intact and in good shape. Thank you for taking good care of my consignment. The packing was great. Kudos to the packing team! I would highly recommend 1st Move International for your shipping needs. A friendly, professional, transparent, well organized company! Warmest regards to all :-)

B Lynn
Berkshire to Las Vegas, USA
Even with the inconveniences of COVID-19 shutting down the world, 1st Move International went above and beyond for our overseas move. All of our items were packed, sealed, and delivered without a single break. It is amazing that there was no damage to any of our items taking into consideration that there was an Atlantic crossing, countless warehouse moves, train shipments, and truck deliveries. The only moving company I recommend!
C Constantinos
Reading to MD, USA
Had a wonderful experience with 1st Move International. Had to transport my belongings without a lot of warning from UK to USA and the team were there to answer my questions quickly and got my things packed and shipped over without any hassle. My belongings were packed very securely, with multiple layers of protection. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who was looking to ship international.

M Ochoa
London to Virginia, USA
Very speedy pick-up from our flat, the team was expert and made quick work of our 1 bedroom to include carefully packaging our exercise bike. About 7 weeks after the household goods were picked up in London they were delivered to the East Coast USA. We have moved with about half a dozen companies over the past decade and this was the first time everything arrived intact. On occasion the company took a day or two to respond to emails but they always answered all questions accurately and fully. We would highly recommend using their service for a UK to US move.
D Metcalf
Cheshire to GA, USA
1st Move packed some very precious family furniture and mementos at my late mother's house near Manchester, England, and everything arrived in Savannah, GA USA in perfect condition. We did have to unpack the pallet ourselves when it arrived so be prepared for that. The communication throughout on both sides of the Atlantic was conducted with old-fashioned care and courtesy, accompanied by great tech so we always knew what was happening. Phones were answered by real people who remembered our previous conversations!!! Highly recommended.
A Edwards
Hemel Hempstead to Florida, USA
Exceptional team providing outstanding service to customers from initial enquiry through to receipt of goods in the destination country. I would recommend 1st Move to anyone embarking on overseas shipping of household goods and / vehicles. Excellent value for money, efficient communications, friendly and professional staff.
R Sink
USA
I was looking for a reliable, trustworthy company to help me move my items from the UK to the US. I definitely found this in 1st Move International. Although they are not the cheapest - which was a good thing - they are certainly knowledgeable and effective at international shipping. From first contact to ongoing communication to the movers who packed my items, I was impressed the whole time. I highly recommend them.
N Barbosa
Cambridge to Conway, USA
1st Move International packed and shipped the contents of my house in the UK and delivered them to me in Massachusetts, USA. It was a very stressful time for me since I had to do the whole thing unexpectedly and remotely because of the Pandemic.They were wonderful throughout the process. They assisted me every step of the way. My belongings arrived beautifully packed and with no breakages - even the crystal glasses! I am very grateful to them.
P Moushabeck
Ilford to Alpharetta GA, USA

P Iqbal
Sussex to Duluth, USA
Our fourth transatlantic move with 1st Move. Tessa and all of the team were extremely helpful and everything was on time, with zero problems. The delivery was effortless and the driver even helped offload right into our garage. We had cheaper quotes, but for sure you get what you pay for - not a single issue from beginning to end. Thanks guys!!

J Zimmer
Esher to Miami FL, USA
After reading many review from many different companies I decided to go with first move for my move from Surrey to Miami. Honestly from the first step they were professional and made the move so much easier. All my items arrived undamaged and in great condition. Also they were the only company that told me there were additional port fees in the US and to have an extra $400 a side. This was for USA port taxes and could only be paid on arrival into the country. Every other company keep that quiet!

P Schwarze
Winchester to New York NY, USA
We used these guys to move from Winchester UK to New York City. They got the job done when they said they would and for the price quoted. We ended up with 7 pallets (just over 5000 lbs) so rather a large move, still all done in about 3 weeks. Can’t fault them at all. The pallets were all packed sensibly and safely and literally nothing was broken in transit. I managed to drop and break more stuff while packing and unpacking than they did in moving it all transatlantic.

Whitby to Milwaukee WI, USA
Hello everyone at 1st Move. Just to let you know that we collected my goods yesterday. Everything has travelled well and the way you ship goods on shrink wrapped pallets is the most efficient way I can think of to do the job, the pallet is going on to a second life as a small platform / step to the doorway on the farm we have! Thank you for your help with my move, I am chatting to others in the UK who might be moving so I will tell them about you. All the best for the future. Regards

Excellent service at drop off & pick-up for RORO transport. No damage at all, and free 5 day storage at pick-up point! The paperwork process at the pick-up point was quick & easy (I used a USA Broker to handle the process as it was a 1 time event for me...). Took 10 days from Liverpool to arrive in USA. 1st Move proactively stayed in Email contact with me regarding info & status leading up to shipment, so always felt they were (are) on top of things so I didn't have to think about status or "what's next". Very easy to do business with!!
D Allen
Maidenhead to Alexandria VA, USA
Truly excellent support and interactions from start to finish! The team was outstanding in managing all aspects of the pickup, crating, export, shipping and coordination to import an antique motorcycle from the UK to the USA.

The motorcycle is now in my workshop looking as good as it did when I last saw it in the UK.

The guys that came to pack and collect our belongings were also brilliant - they were really friendly and they were done in just over an hour! We were very grateful for your patience and reassurance, especially talking us through the process multiple times because we had not moved abroad before.

1st Move is a first class organisation. I have used them twice in the course of three years and both transactions were successfully completed, hassle-free. The team at 1st Move are extremely efficient and friendly from enquiry to completion; nothing is too much trouble for them. They are a very professional company and I would not hesitate to use them again and to highly recommend them to others. Thank you to all the team at 1st Move.
L Aitken
Lymington to Baltimore MD, USA
1st Move did a phenomenal job with paperwork and customer service. Before I was shipping with them, I was going between multiple shipping companies and waiting even weeks to get responses, and usually it was a flat no. On some of the online chats, they just hang up on you or never respond to you again. So I ended up with 1st Move and their representative answered all of my questions effectively with haste and with ease. The price was top notch and paying the bill with them took less than 30 minutes. The shipment arrived exactly as anticipated and the vehicle had no damage. Given it was my first time shipping a car, I was rather lost. But 1st Move answered all of my questions and even got me in touch with the closest dock near me. Altogether, if I had to ship another car, I'd do it again through these guys.
A Vassil-Horse
London to New York NY, USA
Service was excellent.

Excellent Service from start to finish. Every department works together to make sure the customer is completely informed and comfortable with every step of the process. The drivers turned up exactly when due for collection and were fast and careful with every box. We got emails and Invoice in plenty of time before our ship date and the Photograph of our pallets shared on Facebook was a nice touch. Our pallets arrived about a week before the estimated due date which was nice. Everything had been packed and wrapped thoroughly. Our new home in Phoenix, AZ is now complete with all of our belongings. Thank you 1st Move :-)

It's nice to deal with people who enjoy their jobs and importantly, know what they are doing. 5 stars from me.
D McCormick

Oundle to Lubbock TX, USA
1st Class Service - U.K. to U.S.A. I have used other international shipping companies in the past, but my experience with 1st Move International was by far the best. Very responsive to questions, and stayed in regular contact up to and beyond the moving day. I had several changes to make from my initial booking and they were quickly able to make those changes. Our belongs arrived when expected and had clearly been excellently packed. I don't want to make another international move, but if I do, I'll be using 1st Move International.
N Ray
Llandudno to San Francisco CA, USA
Faultless. I recently used 1st Move International to ship a Georgian bookcase that I saw & bought while I was on holiday near Llandudno. They were extremely helpful on the phone helping me organize getting it shipped to California. All I really had to do was pay for their services (a reasonable rate) and await it's arrival. The photo of the wrapped item they provided before dispatch was very reassuring. The piece arrived superbly wrapped, undamaged and about the time they estimated. I had no problems and would recommend them for any international move.

1st Move are now my go to shipping company. 1st Move stepped into the breach after a more well known company left us in the lurch at the last minute.

Very nice and responsive team. I used them to move from England to America (New England). The communication by the team was great - they always replied quickly to my emails, and kept in touch by sending regular updates, which included the names, email addresses and telephone numbers of all the relevant people. I appreciated that they sent clear instructions about how to fill in all the customs papers (otherwise quite an intimidating task!). They also always called back on the days they had promised to, and were really friendly, so I really felt looked after.
L de Ruiter
Cardiff to Orlando FL, USA
A top quality service and uncomplicated experience. I arranged to ship my son's musical equipment and personal chattels to the US from a Cardiff medium sized storage unit. Notwithstanding I had to change the date of the move a couple of times to ensure my son would be at home around the date of arrival, 1st Move took this in their stride. They were very helpful on the phone re: talking through the process and when they came to collect the items they packed it quickly and efficiently. At their depot they packed it all up even more thoroughly and I received pictures of the finished shrink wrapped pallets to accord with their final invoice which was very reasonable compared to other providers. The shipment arrived on time in the US and my son was amazed at how well everything had been packed and covered in vast quantities of bubble wrap. Every item was safely accounted for and he and I are exceptionally pleased we chose 1st Move International. Thank you to everyone involved, from the Transport Management team, through Administration to the collection and packaging teams.

Delivered in a timely fashion and no damages reported. I can't fault the service I received.

Cullompton to Des Moines IA, USA
Good Afternoon Tessa, I hope life in the UK is treating you well. I wanted to pen a few words to thank you and your team for helping me ship my worldly belongs to the USA. We moved in 8 days ago and yesterday I opened my last box, it has been like Christmas being repatriated with things I'd forgotten I'd shipped. Not one single item that I shipped was broken or even damaged by their 4,500 mile journey to their new home and that is a credit to the team that packed and moved the items. Please extend my thanks to the team that were involved I am grateful, even though I have no idea why I shipped much of the stuff I did, I guess it's because it's all that remains from my time in the UK !!! Thanks again for your patience and help, you made the process simple. My best regards.
S Saunders
Tonbridge to Albuquerque NM, USA
Thank you all so much Tom, Tessa and Mark for your help and professionalism during this moving experience. Take Care!
M Conran
Rowley Regis to Baltimore MD, USA
Hi Tessa. We are happy to report that this Monday we drove to Baltimore and took delivery of our furniture shipment. We took it directly to a friend of ours who is a super furniture restorer. He helped us open that big black pallet your people packed up and once all pieces were out we were able to see that both pieces were intact including all sections of the two glass windows. Considering the route of travel a brilliant job! Thank you so much for all you did for us and please also thank the packing crew. After thirty years being stored on my sister's farm it will now be back in a Brunton home! Cheers

London to Boston Move. 1st Move were great, end to end. They were on time, packed everything carefully and kept me well informed of progress.
C Palmar
Maidenhead to Seattle WA, USA
Exceptionally professional company. First time I have dealt with this company and needed to consolidate china from Jersey and antiques from Maidenhead for onward transportation to Seattle. Everyone I dealt with in the office and the guys who picked up the goods were professional and did it with a sense of humour. The items were well packed for their long journey and I would certainly use this company again.
M Womersley
Horsham to Richland WA, USA
Fantastic service. Really fantastic service from start to finish. My belongings arrived in USA as they had left the UK, all in tact! Would say if you are undertaking an international move, these are the folks to use.

Our items were safely received from the UK to the USA! Great service and brilliantly packed. All items received safe and sound. Thank you!
T Stephens
Sawtry to Smithton IL, USA
Great moving experience! My previous employer always took care of my moves, so this was the first one I did on my own. 1st Move International came highly recommended from multiple friends. I was a bit sceptical because their price was so low, however I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. Their customer service through email and over the phone were top notch and not once did a question or concern go unanswered. The gentlemen who packed my household goods were professional, friendly, and definitely knew what they were doing. All 17 cubic meters (5 pallets) of my goods were packed well enough to arrive safely to the US from the UK. Even the 200 beer glasses I had arrived, not a one broken. I would use them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them.
M Renneker
Bristol to Boston MA, USA
Very smooth process from start to finish. We were extremely impressed with the service from 1st Move International. The Bristol-based staff were friendly, helpful, patient and professional and the whole process was very easy, from quoting through to insurance and dropping our belongings off at the Avonmouth depot. When our things arrived in America we were contacted immediately, we had a week to collect it all from the depot here. Everything arrived in perfect condition.
A Shedden
Chelsea to Columbus OH, USA
EXCELLENT SERVICE (UK TO USA). This is the 2nd time I have used 1st Move to shift a few furniture items from my UK home to my US one. Both times have been fantastic. Great communication, easy paperwork, very secure packing and seamless delivery. Thank you so much! PS. Especially loved the photo of my pallet of stuff as it left your warehouse!
T Stephens
Gloucester to Washington DC, USA
Hi Tessa, Just to let you know that I picked up my shipment today, we stripped it down to just the cartons. I have to say we were really impressed with your packers work. Everything looked as your post packing photo with no inner box denting anywhere. Now I just look forward to opening them all to see my stuff once again. Its going to be a Christmas weekend. Thanks for a good job done. Regards
D Harrison
Brixham to Plant City FL, USA
Excellent Service - couldn't be faulted. These people deliver in all senses. Great communication and organization. Everything arrived as sent and in very quick time. Couldn't be happier.
S Ottewell
Reading to Seattle WA, USA
Dear Tessa and Tom, I just wanted to drop you both a line as you had specifically helped me through the process, but this thank you is extended to your entire team who were involved. I cannot begin to express how you made something that could potentially been extremely complicated (had I been arranging it myself!) into something so straight forward. The communication and service I received from you was really second to none. I received my belongings on the 29th December and I am so grateful to your team for organizing it all and taking such good care of it, particularly the packing. Nothing was broken or damaged, it was in exactly the same condition in which I had left it. I would recommend your company in a heartbeat and if I should need to ship anything else, you will be the company I come to! Thanks again for all your help it's greatly appreciated. Happy New Year to you all. Best wishes,
F Radlein
Grantham to Colonial Heights VA, USA
Fantastic. These guys and gals know their stuff, they do a fantastic job, re packing when needed, everything arrived safe and sound. I will definitely use them again.
R Driver
Ilchester to Davenport FL, USA
Hand-held service. Moving abroad for work was a scary business - everything new to deal with. 1st Move held our hand through the whole shipping process, with clear guidance, quick response to any questions or requirements, and good humour throughout. When we got it wrong they professionally put it right, and ensured we met deadlines along the way. Our shipping was well packed, and arrived on our doorstep exactly as packed when leaving the UK. Packing and unloading teams were extremely helpful, and all our goods arrived in good order. We were never hassled, but contact was always there to explain and guide. A first rate service, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again.
A Morrice
Grantham to Colonial Heights VA, USA
HI Tessa, A big big thank you, to you and all your team, both here in US and back there in the UK. All arrived safe and sound, your guys do a brilliant job of packing. Thanks again and have a great Christmas.

A very good service. If I ever need to use this type of service again these are the people I'd use.
J Hansen
London to New York NY, USA
1st Move International were very friendly and supportive. My interactions with 1st Move International were all very positive. They were friendly and supportive from the original enquiry to the status reports regarding it's shipping status. When I realized that I hadn't completed an inventory they were accommodating to help repack and do this for me.
B Stephen
Ispwich to Seattle WA, USA
Excellent shipping experience courtesy of 1st Move. From my initial enquiry about shipping domestic furniture and personal household items from Suffolk to Seattle to collecting two pallets on the west coast of the USA six weeks later, my experience with 1st Move was flawless. Professional service and advice, clear answers to questions in a friendly manner, prompt and efficient collection, packing and loading, handling, customs and shipping formed the foundation for the flawless transportation and safe delivery to Seattle.
J Bishop
Kesgrave to Kirkland WA, USA
Hi Tessa, Greetings and warmest best wishes from Kirkland WA. Today, my wife and I got the shipment that you organised and that started with my first contact in the summer. Please pass on to the whole team at 1st Move our appreciation for a job well done. Every aspect of my contact with your organization was smooth, professional, friendly and fun. It culminated today, when we got the two pallets. Unloading our possessions, photographs and furniture generated excellent memories and personal reminders of your guys arriving at our house around 10am after a long journey from Bristol. Their efficiency and professionalism was outstanding and generated a phone call to you, outlining how impressed I was with both of them. It's the biggest celebration of the year here later this week. Thursday is Thanksgiving or 'Turkey Day' and we will raise our glasses and drink a toast to you, and all the team. Please share our appreciation and best wishes with everyone. Very sincerely
G Anthony

To everyone at 1st Move, Thank you once again for doing such a fantastic job, not just with the packing and moving, but also with a much appreciated personal touch. Many thanks
T Doyle
Wokingham to Boston MA, USA
Fantastic from start to finish. A huge thank you to everyone for helping get my things out to Boston. I don't know how you managed to ship the antique furniture out here so carefully and well wrapped. The USA team emailed me constantly with details and as soon as it was clear it was overnighted to me and I got it all a week before it was due. These were our last things from the UK and you made the whole process easy to deal with when I was already stressed. I'm so glad I chose your team. Many thanks
P Higgins
Sawtry to New York NY, USA
1st Moves customer service is great. Getting my vehicle shipped from the UK to the US was no small task and their representative never flinched to assist. From arranging a customs broker in the US to being flexible with my situation, they always replied promptly with the right information I needed.
M Renneker
London to Denver CO, USA
My move to Denver. I cannot recommend 1st Move more highly. I moved a small medium sized pallet to Denver from London and it arrived in great time and with no damage to items. To say I was anxious is putting it mildly and I know I drove the team at 1st Move crazy with silly questions and concerns, but they were so sweet and kind and not once did they lose patience. I had read a few bad reviews that said once they handed over to the US that I might have issues, but nope not a single one. I was informed at all times, even when my shipment was going to be late. Guess what it arrived 8 days earlier than it was due! I am now wishing I had bought more furniture in the UK, to ship over as there's none of the antique stuff I love so much, here in the US! Well done to the team on both sides. If you are hesitant then just take a deep breath and trust in the experts. That's what I did and I don't regret it
K Van Sant
Caernarfon to Sonoma CA, USA
Tessa, Just wanted to let you know that my bureau arrived yesterday and I was able to pick it up today. It was excellently well packed and arrived without any damage. I am extremely happy (and relieved). Thank you for all you (and the rest of the company) did to make the delivery happen.
P Wellman
St Ives to Deer Isle ME, USA
Exceptional Service! Thanks 1st Move International - you were flawless - and made a complicated move easy to execute in every way at both ends. You could not have done better. Keep it up.
R Penfold
London to New York NY, USA
Quality service. Used 1st Move to transport goods from London to NY a few times. Very happy with the service, highly recommend the team.
V Radzinsky
Aylesbury to Los Angeles CA, USA
Picked my shipment up today. Perfect. Had to break down the pallet when I picked up in Los Angeles as it was too tall to fit in my Range Rover, but found everything was carefully packed with foam protection as well as the shrink wrap. I will also send you a couple of pics soon but thanks to all the 1st Move Folks!
C Walter
Cardiff to Dallas TX, USA
Easy, stress free experience. I used 1st Move International to move from the UK to the US. They were easy to get in touch with, and always on time. The constant follow-up from their side eliminated a lot of my stress as I always knew exactly what was going on. Everyone I encountered was very friendly. My things arrived ahead of schedule and everything was intact and perfect. The pallet was well wrapped and padded. I would use them again for an international move in a heartbeat.
A Korell
Sutton Green to Eureka CA, USA
From the first contact, the service was excellent. Well organised, prompt return of calls and emails. I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm.
J Benbow
London to New York NY, USA
Thank you. It was a pleasure working with your company. Kind Regards
S Saidi
Nottingham to Charleston SC, USA
Excellent Service. Great communication and I loved that there wasn't a weight Limit Fee. Regularly updated me on the status of my Pallet and extremely friendly on the phone. But most of all my pallet arrived when they said it would. I highly recommend them.
J McFarlane
Danescourt to Yakima WA, USA
Excellent service. Was very pleased with their service. They packed all my belongings into a smaller area than I expected, and communicated with me well. The items arrived a bit sooner than estimated and all was intact. I would have no hesitation recommending 1st Move International to anyone.
L Davies
London to New York NY, USA
1st Class. Moved from the UK to the US with 1st Move and couldn't have asked for more. Coordinated just about everything from here with just a flying visit back for the pick up. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the collection team worked really hard on the day. Delivery was made on time and we were amazed at all the padding and wrapping and needless to say everything arrived in perfect shape. Would definitely recommend.
J Daniels
Cardiff to Seattle WA, USA
Just to let you know I collected the pallet yesterday from Seattle and everything was intact including Titanic, so I just wanted to say thank you very much for taking good care of it all! I'm just relieved to have gotten it all safely so thanks again. I have one more shipment to send out in the future once I am settled and will definitely contact yourselves when the time comes.
I Davies
South Queensferry to Baltimore MD, USA
1st Move were great to work with. My Lincoln was safely shipped home to America after 16 years travelling around Europe.
M Murphey
Watton at Stone to Port Hueneme CA, USA
Excellent service. Buying a vehicle from the US, having it shipped over was made possible by the well explained and organized team. Receiving a photo of my vehicle prior to its being shipped was awesome. I will gladly post a photo of picking the car up 10.000 miles from where I last drove it. Cheers, thanks, and to more classic car collecting and shipping in the future.
W Flanders
Oldham to Clarksville TN, USA
Our move abroad. I would firstly like to thank all at 1st move international, right from the very first telephone call to the actual move you where brilliant. Having never moved in over thirty years to a move abroad was quite daunting! however it was so easy, the help and advice I received was nothing short of excellent. Everything was collected and packed all to schedule and after three weeks everything arrived completely intact nothing broken or missing just perfect. I couldn't praise the company anymore and I highly recommend them, they were fantastic from start to finish. Thank you so much, Mrs Webster.
C Webster
Oxford to Milwaukee WI, USA
Very Smooth Moving Experience. I used 1st Move International to transport approximately 1.5 cubic metres of personal household items from Oxfordshire, UK back to my home of Milwaukee, WI. From the very beginning the process was extremely efficient. The quotation provided by this company was the lowest out of all those that I contacted. They called my mobile multiple times to confirm details such as where to park, how to access my house, and what forms I needed to fill out. They were also able to easily accommodate a change of move date without any hassle or extra fees. There was a lot of paperwork to do - this is unavoidable when moving internationally. However they had step-by-step instructions for these forms and there were only a few minor details that were slightly confusing. On the day the truck arrived to pick up my items, the driver was extremely polite and handled my items with care. The pictures posted online reassured me that my items were carefully arranged and packaged. I was warned ahead of time that the quotation only included services in the UK and sea freight shipping from UK to the port of entry, which in my case was Newark, New Jersey. I was then contacted by their US partner company, who charged me $200 for shipment from New Jersey to Milwaukee and a $40 USD "release fee" to come pick my stuff up. Again, I was warned ahead of time about these charges and it was not a problem.
S Hurley
Northampton to Santa Clarita CA, USA
Great service! 1st Move made it very easy. I had no idea where to start my overseas shipping. They were happy to answer all my questions in a super friendly manner. My pallet arrived before expected, all in one piece. Impressive service. I would definately recommend it to friends and family.
X Ferlet
Heywood to Denver CO, USA
Painless and trouble-free. Second time I've used this company and in both instances it's been hassle-free. Everything arrived as promised with no breakages. The packaging was first rate - will be using them again in the future.
E Williams
Norwich to Phoenix AZ, USA
Honest, reliable and professional. Really helpful people with an excellent attitude. We were helped throughout each stage of the move and appreciate everything that was done for us.
J Stevenson
London to Alpharetta GA, USA
Good move - was happy with results. Everything worked out, even though I was very nervous about shipping some of my most precious memories abroad. The movers were overall great.
A Behnken
Stockton On Tees to Overland Park KS, USA
Efficient, Informative, Processional. I used 1st Move to transfer our belongings from the UK to the US where myself and family were relocating for a number of years. Right from day one the communication was excellent, answering any questions I had and raising things I hadn't thought of too, always keeping me informed of the status of my move. On the day of collection there had been communication between myself and the office and the two removals guys turned up prepared and informed. I was then notified at each stage of the shipping (the Facebook pictures of your shipment are a nice touch) until delivery to the US and the belongings arrived in excellent condition.
R Kirkpatrick
Gainsborough to Kent WA, USA
Superb business. I moved overseas when I was in my more mature years and didn't have a clue about moving my whole life to another country. I contacted this company quite a time before my paperwork was completed and they were so good at guiding me through the whole procedure. Whilst waiting for everything to be completed, they would contact me periodically to enquire about an update and were very tactful about it. Not pushy but just asking to be given an update. When the time came they packed my belongings up and transported them and they arrived just as they left me, beautifully and carefully palletised. The staff are well informed and never impatient despite how many times you contacted them, and I did. All emails answered without delay. The cost? Very competitive and far cheaper than buying new at your destination. All arrangements taken care of and it all went without a hitch. If only every business ran on oiled wheels like this, life generally would be so much better. Thank you.
J Wellman
Brighton to Orlando FL, USA
My first time moving overseas. This was my first move overseas and I was very nervous about the entire process. Everyone who was involved with helping me were very kind and kept me updated throughout the entire process. They made regular phone calls and emails to double check that everything was going smoothly and they answered every question that I had. I would definitely use 1st move International again.
S Smyth
Ipswich to Simpsonville SC, USA
Move went well. Had no issues, the whole process went well.

M Giallombardo
London to Kankakee IL, USA
Very easy, efficient and professional. I used 1st Move International to move from London to the US. The service and responsiveness was great. Each person I dealt with was helpful, informative and friendly. I also really appreciated being able to see the picture of my things wrapped and ready to be shipped on Facebook.
E Douglas
Fakenham to Washington DC, USA
1st Move's operations are excellent. The UK staff walked me through every step, answered my questions quickly and courteously, and contacted me throughout the process to make sure everything was in place for my move. Packing and shipping went very smoothly, especially given that we had an unusual large and fragile item to pack. Everything was packaged really well and arrived in perfect condition. Really fantastic and I would definitely recommend 1st Move.
L Prockter
Wisbech to Jacksonville FL, USA
I have used 1st Move many times now - I ship to the USA, I have found the whole team to be helpful and reliable - They do exactly what it says on the Tin !! I would not hesitate to recommend them and will continue to use their services.

T Dolan
London to Louisville, USA
This was the right company for a move from London to the US. From minute one, these people knew what they were doing and guided us each step of the way. Tessa was an amazing help with the paperwork and advance details. The crew that packed the valuables was efficient and fast as well as pleasant. Info was sent to us at each step along the way and our goods arrived a week earlier than promised, all in good shape. Honestly, I was amazed at the packing. The wooden furniture was covered in cardboard to prevent scratches. The mattress was wrapped in plastic. The entire palate was wrapped in plastic, bubble wrap, cardboard, and shrink wrap. I seriously think it could have hit the water and not gotten the contents wet! TOTALLY PLEASED. If there is ever a return to England, I hope this company can guide us for the reverse trip.
K Cashner
London to Spring, USA
Excellent service. Packaging staff were friendly and helpful, the office based staff always kept in touch to ensure everything was going to plan. Even getting the initial quote was hassle free.

I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking to ship goods overseas. Thanks again.

D Sortino
Norfolk to San Antiono, USA
1st Move International were exceptional in my opinion. I had many questions, and there were a few times I didn't communicate with the same person but they were able to pick-up my file and answer my questions. The price was good, and the service was outstanding. They really took the worry of shipping my lovely 25 yr old car across to USA. They also helped me contact the agent across in USA which helped me answer more questions and I was able to budget better. I was about $370 within budget!
N Moran
Plymouth to Sarasota, USA

C Duplinsky
Cheshire to Houston, USA
I just wanted to send my thanks to you and the team for the fantastic job you all did in transporting my furniture to me in Texas. I was immensely impressed at how professional and informative you all were. The packaging of the items was amazing, much better than the original packaging when bought new, all items arrived in the same condition as when they were collected in the UK. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved and I would highly recommend your services to anyone thinking of shipping their personal belongs to anywhere in the world.

I’d like to thank you very much, and ask you pass on my thanks to the team involved with packing and shipping. I was very pleased with your service throughout the process and with how things were organised, and carried out, especially being overseas at the time it was a considerable weight off my mind knowing everything was being taken care of back home. The consignment arrived in perfect condition, with everything accounted for and exactly as I would of hoped it would be, so again a huge thanks to your packing and shipping teams for their care and diligence on ensuring all the pieces arrived safe and sound. I'm sure I will be moving about again, and will be certain to use your services and recommend you to others.

I cannot stress how happy we are with their communication and service.Thank you for everything 1st move you made a difficult move easy.
J Himmelstein
London to Durham NC, USA
1st class operation all the way. Tessa, and all the others were great to work with. They couldn't be more helpful and understanding in taking you through all the forms and questions involved in an international move. Always available by telephone and email and never made you feel you were asking stupid questions (even when some probably were) or were asking for the unreasonable. Packing was incredible; my pallet arrived in perfect shape without a single item damaged (and I had many fragile items and framed works of art).
R Miller
Darlington to Breezy Point NY, USA
I was extremely happy with 1st Move international. Their customer service - excellent - each member of the team contacted me to introduce themselves, told me what would happen and when; called to remind me of the next steps and reassured me when I was feeling a bit nervous about the move. My questions were answered quickly and courteously and any confusion (on my part) was cleared up quickly. Each step was easy - and then the two guys who came to collect my boxes were marvellous - kind, very polite and helpful. All was done very quickly, professionally and well.Thank you for making this so very easy and worry free!

Malborough to Washington DC, USA
We moved from Devon, UK to Washington, D.C. And 1st move made the move so easy. The guys that packed our home in the UK were amazing, everything was so well cared for and protected. They worked fast and left nothing behind. The team that took care of us with all the paperwork kept us informed at all times and changed shipping dates without any problems. When it came to unloading the container in the USA the team that unpacked us mentioned that they had never seen such a well packed container, everything arrived safely. THANK YOU 1st Move international, we will beusing you for our return journey in a few years!

B Triplett
Worcester toMemphis TN, USA
When a problem occurred during the transit we were very satisfied with the way the company investigated and put the matter right. It is always good to know that when things don't go smoothly, a company will not abandon a customer.
R Barham
Beckenham to Lawrence KS, USA
I'm amazed by your packing! Nice looking rectangles guys! It took us hours to get everything into our storage locker and you've made it look so, so easy! :) A fantastic process all the way til now...and a cubic meter less than we estimated! Brilliant! Thanks!

M Drabicky

Excellent service from all. From the guys who came to my home to pack my household items to the person who helped with all the paperwork for US Customs. Highly recommend you!

W Stone
London to North Beach, WA USA
I have been very satisfied with the services provided by 1st Move, who have taken the time and effort to personally investigate and solve any and all issues that came up during the course of my move. They offer a familiar and very approachable service and were quick to deal with my requests and/or concerns. I would recommend their service to others.
T Al-Hashimi
Norwich to Englewood, CO USA
Everyone we spoke with was friendly, informative and extremely helpful. They did what they said they would and it cost half of what we were fearing. All in all they made what could have been a nightmare a relatively simple affair! Thanks to all at 1st move international....we can't thank you enough! Sincerely
P Judd
London to Port Mansfield, TX USA
Friendly, professional staff (all of them, in the office and the field). They made a difficult process easy and close to painless! This was my 2nd international move with them and it was even easier than the first time. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again.
P Whitley
Uxbridge to Phoenix, AZ USA
I think all went smoothly. You have a very good system and my belongings were well cared for in the move.
J Watts
Thirsk to Port Everglades FL, USA
1st Move International are a first class outfit that puts their customer first. In an industry that in general provides a lot of lip service up front, I found them to be exactly the opposite, going above and beyond to help in a short time frame and difficult schedule. Their packaging of your goods are second to none. This is the second transatlantic move I have made in under 3 years. This one with 1st move was delivered on time without one damaged or missing item, unlike my first move with a different company where breakages were abundant and several large items went missing. I thought I would just drop you a line to thank you for your help and putting up with my paranoia during the whole shipping process. I am in possession of all goods including the corvette, and I am even more pleased to let you know that everything is here damage free.
G Davies
London to Charleston NC, USA
Very responsive, friendly, personalized service. Everything went according to schedule.
P Bradnock

R Tiller
Bath to Northfield MN, USA
I have been very impressed with 1st Move International...price, quality of their offerings, and helpful attitude. The person who came to our home to collect our goods was tireless and exceptionally helpful, even at the end of a long day. And the office staff are on top of things and very patient and accommodating. I have no hesitation in recommending you.
D Hamilton
Bath to New York NY, USA
The service was excellent. From the time I asked for a quote online till the time I paid for the moving costs, everything was clear and transparent. I had to call several times to clarify paperwork, etc. and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The movers were experienced and I feel confident my belongings will arrive safely. I would definitely recommend to anyone moving overseas who wants a reliable and professional service that is good value for money.
B Teater
Oxford to New York NY, USA
I am enormously impressed with the customer service, the politeness of all the staff with whom I spoke and corresponded, and the efficiency and ease with which my move was handled.

Tessa and her team (at 1st Move) were extremely professional and helpful. I could not have asked for a better company to handle my move. I am grateful for 1st Move International's help; they packed my belongings so well,nothing broke or got damaged on the way.Thank you
M.Hassam
Willington to Denver CO, USA
Our experience with 1st Move has been excellent. The process of obtaining a quote was clear and simple and that staff were exceptionally friendly in helping us the some of the unusual logistics of moving from a canal boat. The costs appear fair and were well documented. Pick up and making up the pallet was as easy as it could be. Every staff member we worked with went the extra mile.
R.Varnes
London to Hartselle AL , USA
Dear Mark, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the shipment arranged through you by my brother, Jeremy Brown. Nothing was broken, cracked or damaged in any way and I would certainly recommend you to any friends planning a similar shipment. Thank you,

You guys were incredibly helpful with, at times, complex customs documentation and requirements. All our belongings were thoroughly protected, packaged and sealed, and arrived in great condition without a scratch. Very happy.
J.Hallam

Hi Dave- Everything is here safe and sound! I have been very satisfied with your services and have already given your name to a few other people who will be moving belongings in the coming year. All the best,
M.Glass
Steyning to San Francisco CA, USA
I just wanted to let you know that my Mum was so complimentary about the Team who came to pack up our shipment. She said the Team was right on time (impressive in that they were coming from Bristol), very efficient, courteous and professional - she felt very at ease with them and wanted me to convey these compliments and feed back. Please also convey my thanks to the Team, having Mum feel comfortable with this activity was really important to me as she is nearly 90 and in the process of moving house, an emotional and stressful business at any age...but the professionalism and care of you and your Team have made this a breeze for both of us! A thousand thanks for meeting a very high bar! Best wishes,
K.Doherty

P.Aldhouse
Longniddry to Houston TX, USA
Had a 'phone call last night from Craig in Houston. He has the desk in his home, it is completely undamaged and he is delighted. He was very impressed with the way it was protected with numerous layers of different types of materials. All of this due to 1st. Move International's professionalism, care and attention to detail. Needless to say I'm very relieved with its safe arrival and equally impressed with your firm. Thank you very much !
C.Armstrong
Merthyr Tydfil to Detroit MI, USA
Hello, Firstly, I would like to thank you and your staff for the excellent service I received. From obtaining quotes and being reassured by your staff I was able to have confidence in your process. I had not shipped furniture before so found the whole thing a bit daunting. Collection, timings and delivery at the least met your promises, and on times exceeded them. The cost was very reasonable as I had a very strict budget your system for calculating shipment costs was massively helpful in deciding what I should ship. Everything arrived extremely well packed and completely in tact (including a good amount of tableware and breakables). Overall, I was delighted with the whole experience and would fully recommend your service to others. Thanks so much!!
N.Evans
Brookwood to Austin TX, USA
We hope that you and all the team are doing well. All is well here, settling into our new home in Austin, Texas, with all our UK belongings safe and sound!! I would say we could not be more delighted with 1st Move International. From our first contact via an email through your website, through to the guys who collected our belongings, through to them being delivered - you and your team could not have been more professional, helpful and outstanding, if we had wanted them to be! Doing a move like this is daunting to start with, but your team just took the whole pressure off. We felt completely safe and looked after at every single point in the process. We really do think that you are all fantastic. We would not hesitate to tell anyone wanting to do an International move, that you should be their only choice. Please pass our sincere regards, admiration and thanks to the whole team.
K.Allen
Edlesborough to Heber Springs AR, USA
Hello Dave, Glad to say everything arrived in the exact order in which it was collected in the UK! From start to finish 1st Move International did a professional job. Well done! Gladly we would use your services again and recommend you to family and friends. It is likely we will make another move soon. Do you have a branch in the US who uses your methods? If so, I wish I had known them when we moved to UK last time. Every blessing
N.Xiques
London to Tucson AZ, USA
Mark, Just wanted to send you an update. My stuff safely arrived and my parents ended up collecting at the Tucson depot. They commented on how well it was wrapped and that nothing was damaged. Many thanks for your assistance in the whole process. You will definitely be recommended by me to anyone moving to/from the UK. Regards,
N.Monger
Sutton to Houston TX, USA
I am happy with my experience with 1st Move Internationall. I will recommend it to my friend and use you myself in the future. In more details: quotation was prompt and easy to understand, all questions swiftly answered. Pick-up of items from my home - just as schduled, fast and professional. Invoice - along with quotation, no surprises. UK side - easy to communicate, all questions addressed. US agent - easy to communicate, all the process explained. Pick-up from US bonded warehouse (I did it myself) - easy, straight forward. No mess with paperwork at any stage. Shipment was received intact with no problem. In general: easy, clear, fair prices. Recommended! Well done! Thanks!
D.Oleynik
London to Monroe LA, USA
I am so glad I used 1st Move for my recent move from the UK to USA. From the initial phone call for information and a quote, to the 2 witty, funny and mega strong men that turned up fully loaded and armed with masses of bubble wrap and the ever so helpful Mark at the end of a phone line and on email: everyone went above and beyond the call of duty. I paid exactly what they quoted on my initial inquiry which was half the cost of what other companies had suggested. And above all they moved mountains and made miracles happened. Probably not listening correctly (a bad fault of mine!) I thought my things were turning up earlier than they were scheduled to. So I happily packed up the wedding dress and copious amounts of wedding bits and bobs only to then realise it was all due to arrive AFTER the wedding had taken place. No problem at all. Mark and the team all pulled together, fast tracked my things and from picking up my belongings on a Tuesday morning somehow got them on the boat leaving that Saturday. They then even turned up in Monroe BEFORE Mark thought it would be humanely possible too. I'm one happy girl. And my guests will be thrilled that I'll be walking down the aisle suitably attired and not wearing my birthday suit!!! Thanks to everyone at First Move for making every thing go smoothly. I'd highly recommend them and if I ever move again they'll be the people I'll use.
A.George
Cannock to Haines City FL, USA
I just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge thank you for the excellent shipping service we received from yourselves. Our container arrived safe and sound. From the first telephone conversation with the company to the final delivery (what a great bunch of American guys they were.......emptied the container in just under an hour!) we received nothing but professionalism and great communication. I will highly endorse your company and would recommend First Move International to anyone relocating abroad.
S.Le Rue
Swindon to Chicago IL, USA
Dan, Mark, Tom, Thank you so much for your excellent service! I collected my shipment from the warehouse in Chicago yesterday. Everything went very smoothly and you took such meticulous care with packing! I was expecting a good job (I watched your video), but it really was fantastic. I was particularly impressed that you'd labelled and numbered each individual box, and put such a generous layer of bubble wrap and cardboard over the whole thing. I unpacked it all last night, and found everything was in perfect condition. You did a great job. Thank you so much! If you'd like to quote me on any of this, please feel free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services. Very best regards,
B.Ansel
Nottingham to St Louis MO, USA
The service you supplied was everything and more that you stated it would be. The items arrived perfectly and securely wrapped, nothing was damaged and the time frame was as you expected. To say that I was not there in the UK when you collected my belongings and then 6 weeks or so later reunited with them was an amazing service. I would definitely recommend you to friends and family and if I decide this life in the US is not for me, I will definitely use you to return my belongings to the UK. Once again thank you for all your help, your service was outstanding!!
P.Eaton
Chester to Houston TX, USA
Thank you very much to you and the company for all your help with our move. I would recommend 1st Move to anyone that is looking for a company that will guide you through each step of your move with clear and detailed instructions, responds to any query extremely fast, and above all is honest and worth every penny.
M.Erikson
Maidstone to Salem AR, USA
Huge huge thank you!!!! The agent this end has been brilliant, my contact was superb and sorted everything and has been professional and friendly. Even the chap who drove the container here was really helpful and friendly - the guys arrived and worked their socks off. Top top service by your company and although I haven't unpacked everything yet (wow how much packing material - brilliant) it looks fantastic, thank you so much. I will happily recommend your company to anyone looking to ship their furniture and belongings. Your guys who packed and moved me in the UK were fantastic and the service you have provided has been fantastic and helpful even when I've been a pain in the rear with my worrying you took away all of the stress with an international move. My thanks don't seem to do justice to the brilliant service you have provided - so huge thank you to you. With warmest regards
D.Davison
Langport to Washington DC, USA
I wanted to write and thank you and all the team at 1st Move for all your help. Tessa and Dave were especially friendly and helpful in answering all our questions - it's so nice to have a human voice on the other end of the 'phone when you have questions or queries. Everything arrived very much in one piece and thanks to your excellent packing system I think we saved a bit of cash too! I would certainly recommend you to others! Thanks
L.Shaddick
Middlewich to Dallas TX, USA
Just a quick note to thank you for all your help. The container arrived last week all in one piece. So now we have a house full of boxes again! Only one broken cup as well. We have put your company on all the forums we’re on and given you rave reviews. Thanks again
S.Hughes

We're back in our home and everything that was shipped arrived. We were very impressed with how the team in London at our flat wrapped all of the breakable items carefully. Many thanks for helping us with our return to the US. We would certainly recommend your team for anyone having to go anywhere! Regards

B.Finlay
Glasgow to Newton MA USA -
I just wanted to let you know that I received the shipment on Friday. Everything went smoothly and I appreciate your help with the move, it is amazing how involved it all is to get goods from point A to B. It was like Christmas on Friday finally seeing everything again and remembering things I had forgotten about. I also wanted to mention how good the wrapping of the larger items was. It will take me a long time to get into everything it is so well packed. Thanks again for all your help.

J.Hester
Barnes to Marina Del Rey, USA
I have to say regarding your team and feedback that the entire process was very easy for me and that I can't say enough great things about your team and service. Specifically, your team always was proactive and communicated with me before I had to chase them for any information. The team was consistent with the communication and always stayed out in front of me and the information was always accurate and on time. The movers came in and were fast and professional and you just made the entire process easy, seamless and in top quality. I can't think you enough and would recommend you to anyone that needs to move. Regards
D.Wills
London to Boston, USA
My 1954 Ford Popular arrived on time and in fine condition. Clearing US Customs was a drawn out affair but nothing to do with your company. Shipit kept me totally informed and answered all of my question quickly and accurately. Thank you for a job well done. Regards,
B.Besse
London to Seattle, USA
I was re-united with my stuff on 11/01/13. There have been delays with ETA due to the bad weather and holidays. Happy ending anyway. Your service in UK was very good and I'd like to thank again Tessa, for her patience and her sense of humor! Regards,
M.Biasotto
London to Aubrey, TX, USA
Happy new year to all of you! I arrived safe and sound in the US, although I am missing London very much. My belongings arrived on schedule and completely intact. Everything was delivered as promised! I am very happy with the service provided by both 1st Move International, and the shipping agent you contracted with in the US, Dove Shipping. Everyone was professional and there were no unanticipated or unreasonable costs. Also, I was impressed with the care taken with my belongings, and most important, with the customer service you provided--from the proactive emails and telephone contact, to pick up and delivery, to progress updates. I would not hesitate to recommend or use your services again!

I am Michael from Long Beach, Calif. Your company assisted me with the shipment of a 1964 Facel Vega from England to the US. I received the car today, in excellent order. I am writing to say thank you to each and everyone in your organization for making this such a smooth transaction. This was my first experience moving a car from overseas and needless to say, I was very anxious. I am delighted with your service and all the attention you gave me. I will certainly be using your company again and telling your story. Hoping to buy you a pint someday, I remain faithfully yours,

Everything worked out great. There was a little confusion about delivery to our home when the driver called a week early to say he was at the house! Not a problem, it was a pleasant surprise to get it early. Cheers,

Just wanted to let you know I received my shipment yesterday. I wanted to say a very BIG THANK YOU to you and the team for all your help. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. I would close my eyes and recommend 1st Move in heartbeat. You guys did an excellent job from start to finish and I am pleased. It was also refreshing to receive such excellent customer service. Regards,
B Alexander
Ware to USA Boston
Just want to say thanks for your help and efficiency in shipping my personal effects to Boston from the UK. I unpacked all the goods yesterday and they were very well wrapped indeed - this is my fifth international move and your guys did an excellent job of not only securely packing delicate objects but also using the space efficiently to minimise excess bulk. It was a smooth operation from start to finish.
V Hans
Porsche 911 Hilton to USA
We feel as if 1st International Movers are close friends. Our relationship began almost 2 years ago when we decided to ship our beloved 1986 Porsche 911 to the U.S. To make a long story short, 1st Inter. Movers were there for us every step of the way, patiently holding our hands through the shipping process. The car was newly refurbished and we were concerned that the trip would mar the new paint. We were pleasantly surprised when we picked it up in pristine condition. I would highly recommend them for shipping any vehicle of any value, they know the steps needed and patiently help you along the way. The cost was well below expected, even with the over land delivery to Southhampton. Special thanks to Andrew Denyard for replying cheerfully to every email and phone call.
P & V Delacruz
05/07/2011 - Manchester to USA, San Francisco
I found 1st Move International on the internet after being faced with numerous companies. I liked the way the pallets were packed as shown on the video clip, and the initial communication. I found everyone I spoke with, including Tessa and her team, Dave and the pleasant gent who collected my goods, to be polite and professional. The quote for shipping my goods to California were less than I expected, and the time given until arrival was less than I expected too. I packed my goods myself, and I was amazed at how they got all my stuff onto two pallets, thus saving me a lot a of money. My goods arrived a week earlier than quoted, but I was delayed in getting them only due to US Customs wanting to examine the container further. It wasn’t a major issue. I would certainly recommend 1st Move International to anyone wishing to use the services of a professional shipping company. Thank you!
