“Very Nicely!”Minnesota to Isle of Man

Nov 26, 2014 by John Brookes

I selected UPakWeShip based on recommendations from previous

customers. The quoted price was less than I had anticipated. And

there was no great urgency about delivery, because I was merely

transferring some personal effects from one existing home to another.

UPakWeShip provided precisely the service I needed, and they did it

with great care and style, from first contact to conclusion. My entire

shipment (7 boxes / cases, approx. 20 cubic feet) arrived in perfect

condition, within the estimated time frame.

At each stage of the process, one UPakWeShip operative handed

over control of my order to the next. I never felt the least uncertainty

about the care and competence of those who explained the process

to me, and dealt with all of my questions, even helping me avoid

potential difficulties with Customs regulations.

My sincere thanks to Pete, Ruby, Alicia, James and Natalie. You folks

do exactly what you say you will do ... and very nicely.

“Exceptional!”Dec 03, 2014 by Adam

I recently used EuroUSA Shipping to ship 4 pallets of household items from Austria to Denver. I don’t usually write letters like this but the service we received from Chris Corder was exceptional and I felt I needed to share my experience. From our first contact for a quote thru to the final delivery, Chris was not only always available to answer our questions and give us updates but he always responded within about an hour or less. Our final delivery was the day before Thanksgiving and despite being on vacation, Chris continued to organize our final payment and delivery instructions thus preventing a potential delay resulting from the holidays. We have used other forwarders in the past which have always resulted in long delays and additional costs. After having used your service for our last move, we will only use EuroUSA for all of our future moves.

“Excellent Team!”Boston to Dundee Scotland

Nov 19, 2014 by Kathleen Wolf

We had great service with this company. From my first questions

about how it work to the safe delivery of our U Cube we have been

helped by an excellent team, special thanks go out to Pete for

answering all the questions we asked at the planning stage, and also

to Alicia for walking us through the paperwork and getting our U

Cube collected on time and finally to Natalie for making sure our U

Cube cleared customs and arranging the delivery in Scotland. We

could never have done it without you all. We were very happy with

the information and all the updates we received. We are happy to

report everything arrived safely and no damage.. I will recommend

you to anyone who needs a fast and reliable way to ship their

belongings from one country to another..

“Highly Recommend This Service.”

Excellent service!

Oct 20, 2014 by Jeremy

I used the U Cube service to shipment my belonging from Boston to London. All instructions were easy to follow and friendly staff were always on hand to answer any queries. The quote from the website was exactly what I paid and the shipment took 8 weeks which is exactly what was suggested. I would highly recommend this service to anyone moving their belongings overseas. Many thanks UPakWeShip!!

“Wonderful”

New Zealand to USA

Dec 02, 2014 by Donna Thurman

From the beginning of the moving process, Chris at UPakWeShip in the USA was wonderful to work with. He answered all my questions quickly and also researched answers to some problem questions involving our move. He kept us informed all through the process. Our container arrived safely and I can recommend this company whole-heartedly.

“You Guys Are The Best.”

Oct 13, 2014 by Chris Haynes

Thank you UPakWeShip for moving my stuff from Texas to VA. Having recently gotten out of the Marines, I really appreciated the great customer service, punctuality and speed the door to door service took. I will certainly recommend UPakWeShip to anyone else moving. You guys are the best!

“Door to door, this company gets the job done!”

Great experience!

Oct 07, 2014 by Doctor Rob A

Moving overseas with a family is a lot of work, and the process can be intimidating, between acquiring visas, finding a place to live, packing, and so on. UPakWeShip did such a great job getting our stuff across the Atlantic that when it came time to move back we hired them for the return trip as well. Door to door, this company gets the job done!

“We will continue to recommend you folks to our global missions department for future moves.”

Another Excellent ShipmentOct 02, 2014 by Rev. Ronald Rentner

Chris C, Thank you again for excellent service. We will continue to recommend you folks to our global missions department for future moves. We think we will have only 4 suitcases to schlepp home from Hungary, and we can manage that. Best, Ron

Excellent!

Sep 23, 2014 by Robin Vaughan

We used 'UPakWeShip' to ship our personal stuff from Florida back to London. The whole process was so easy and hassle free. Communication was 1st class throughout and special thanks to Alicia for answering all of my questions so quickly. The price quoted actually worked out a little cheaper than expected and delivery quoted was spot on. I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Oh...and all of our boxes arrived in excellent condition too.

“So Easy And Hassle Free”

“Excellent shipping company!”Los Angeles to Oxford UK

Sep 19, 2014 by Steve Coe

Great experience from beginning to end - very helpful staff. I

shipped a U Cube from LA to Oxford - took a little longer than

expected - 12 weeks door to door - but that included a weeks

hold up in UK customs. U Cube arrived in perfect shape - just

as I packed it.

US to Italy - Excellent shipping company!

Sep 10, 2014 by P. Mari

We are extremely satisfied with every aspect of your

company, from beginning to end of the shipping and delivery

process everything was handled promptly, with the utmost

care and your rates were very competitive without any added

or extraneous fees on delivery. I have been recommending

your company to everyone as one of the best companies I

have had the pleasure of dealing with!

“arrived in fine condition and on time”

San Francisco to Italy

Dec 01, 2014 by Francesco

My U Cube shipment from San Francisco to Milan has arrived in fine conditions and on time. I happily recommend UPakWeShip to any global traveler looking to smartly save cash when relocating across continents, while still getting an effective and valuable shipping service! Thanks much for the assistance and services provided.

Page 15: Best International Moving Reviews 2014

Great experience and process thank you!

Sep 03, 2014 by Seynabou

I wanted to thank you as I received my container in due time(6 weeks door to door). This was the smoothest process at a very competitive price.

Thanks again for helping make my move worry free!

Stephanie was great as well as Andy in the UK side

Highly recommend and will use again if I move again :)

Toronto to UK

Aug 13, 2014 by Katherine

“We definitely recommend UPakWeShip!”

San Francisco to Munich

Nov 26, 2014 by Thomas Wirschem

We used the U-Crate service for shipping belongings from San Francisco/CA to Munich/Germany. The service provided, responsiveness and ease of doing business was excellent. Alicia Hawk supported us on the US side and did a fabulous job in providing detailed instructions, handling paper work and even giving very useful recommendations for detailing the packing list. Oliver, Lauren and Karolina from Euro Group supported us on the European side. They again provided detailed instructions, updates and scheduled the delivery. The delivery to our house was well organized and all our items arrived as expected and in good condition. We definitely recommend UPakWeShip!

“Thank you for making moving to Europe a 5 star experience!”

California To Germany - Excellent Experience

Aug 19, 2014 by ClaudiaI just shipped a U Cube from California to Germany with UPakWeShip, and I wanted to take a moment to thank the whole team in the US and Europe. Moving with you was a 5 star experience from curb to curb! Everything went as expected. You notified me every step along the way, and answered all my questions the same business day. I loved that I could pack the box myself, and had time to rearrange everything a few times until I had it all in. My box arrived safe and sound a few weeks later, actually 3 days earlier than scheduled. I also liked that I was able to get started with an instant online quote on your website, for a very reasonable fixed fee, compared to phone quotes from other companies where I was never sure what was really included. When European customs in London had questions, the UPakWeShip team handled it fast and professionally. I would use UPakWeShip again and will highly recommend you to anybody who wants to move from the US to Europe.Thank you for making moving to Europe a 5 star experience!Claudia

“the prices quoted were amazing”

London to the Swiss Alps

Jul 21, 2014 by Jidz Khan

From beginning to end, the entire process was not the simplest from my side logistically, however this was all made easy.The flexibility shown from the start, and constant changing of my requirements was always dealt with professionalism and great courtesy.Even with various hurdles thrown in, including excess storage, changing of dates, and customs, the assistance provided was top draw, and to top it off, the prices quoted were amazing, and around 50% cheaper than everywhere else I checked.I would highly recommend this service, and will certainly use them again if I relocate.

“Alicia at U-Pak was super helpful ”

Successful shipment

Jul 19, 2014 by Timothy PowellI have just received my shipment from the US to Australia. It was delivered directly to my residence with no added fees. I wish to commend Upackweship on a very courteous and fair dealings. I can heartily endorse this company for their work and wish to bear testament that they actually follow through on the price quoted from drop off to delivery. There were no hidden charges no changes in price just the price quoted and adjusted for fair treatment of the packaging (cubic size). I have dealt with another company for shipment and they under priced this company on the first go around. They made up for it with additional fees and charges for destination delivery. Not this company.All my goods were undamaged in original containers with no sign of tampering.I must say again that I can give a very positive testimonial on the work that they do.The only fault that left me not giving them five out of five stars was a bit slow miscommunication by the delivery company. It was all cleared up though in a day and really not a major problem and overall the service was excellent.I heartily endorse this company and I will use it exclusively in the future.

“light years ahead of anyone re: professional, courteous service.”

Outstanding moveJul 06, 2014 by Fabien WeckerLast year, a move back to the UK (from the US) for professional reasons had

me stumble onto UPackWeShip. I started looking at options, and a few stood out...but UPWS stand out because of that, but every step along the way, they (and I mean every single person I have ever talked to, but special kudos to Alicia Hawk) handled my situation with the utmost respect, professional integrity and dignity. They all explained everything very clearly, and the information they send out prior to the move is practical, straightforward and fun. Moving is a headache; I have done it 17 times in 24 years. This is honestly the most relaxed I have ever felt, and the entire costs incurred were on me. Yet, cheaper than any of the other 7 pre-selected options I had considered, and light years ahead of anyone re: professional, courteous service. I would trust these guys to move me anywhere in the world based on my personal experience this year. When I am ready to move back to the US, I will definitely call on them again. I have already recommended them to a few people because (and I know, this will sound corny, but it was so true in my case) they do not overlook the human factor of what it means to move and "start" a new life.

“Very impressed! I'll definitely use them again.”

Worry Free, Los Angeles to LondonJul 03, 2014 by Paul MasseyStephanie and Andy made this move seamless and easy. All questions

were answered quickly and everything they said would happen, did happen. My container shipped and arrived on time. Very impressed! I'll definitely use them again.

Fantastic serviceJun 30, 2014 by Melanie CrisfieldBoth Pete and Alicia made organizing my move from the US to the UK

simple and straightforward. I was very impressed by the consistently high level of customer service; both of them were willing to answer my questions promptly (even the stupid questions and nit picky little details!), and the rates are fantastic.

“Everything went very smoothly. ”

Amazing and HelpfulJun 02, 2014 by Marilyn EngI moved my things from London to Toronto and both Chris and Kristie

has been extremely helpful and accommodating. Kristie knowing I have only 2 days back in Toronto helped arranged a last min. move and that saved me from changing my air ticket. I am happy with their service and am now using them again!

Great job, Chris!!May 28, 2014 by PhilipGreat job Chris! The driver was right on time and was even nice

enough to help with some of the unloading. Everything went very smoothly. Thanks for everything. The whole process went better than I could have ever imagined.Thanks again,Phil

“you made me an extremely happy bunny!!”

Impressive service, SIMPLY THE BESTMay 28, 2014 by CristinaI contacted UPakWeship in January for a quote to ship 2mq from

Italy to Ireland, it was the best quotation I have received, (I requested a total of 6 quotes form different companies).Chris has been F A N T A S T I C in providing assistance and information along all the process.The items have been delivered extremely quickly and in perfect conditions. All the collectibles figurines/statue/tea sets arrived as packed.If you are looking for a great service, a great support and a great price, these guys are the one you want to be in touch with!!!Thanks Chris :) you made me an extremely happy bunny!!

“everything is intact nothing broken or damaged not one item!! ”

outstanding service!!!!May 06, 2014 by Susan

We moved a 4 bed 2 bathroom house and ALL its contents inside and out. We moved from Kissimmee FL to UK. Our container has just arrived ..everything is intact nothing broken or damaged not one item!! So pleased to get my house contents back moving halfway across the world is one of the most stressful things ever to go through!! But shipping our life over was totally stress free thanks to UPakWeship.Would recommend your services in a heartbeat. Outstanding.

Susan.Australia to the USMay 05, 2014 by Steven K.I GREATLY appreciate the manner in which you handled this job. You

were right on the money, all the time, communicated efficiently and kindly and you made me feel like my precious cargo was in the best of hands.I will DEFINITELY look you up next time I move (which is a lot).And I will tell friends, tirelessly about how great you and yourcompany is. With appreciation, Steven

“This was, by far, the most pleasant experience we've had with shippers... EVER. ”

Best shipping experience everMay 14, 2014 by Lezlie and JanisHi Chris,Yes! It has arrived and all is well. :) As for the process, it was truly the most painless shipping experience we've ever had- and that's no exaggeration! From day one you have been informative and extremely helpful. You were also very precise in your estimation of date of arrival, which has never happened with my shipments in the past. I felt we were consistently in the loop as I regularly heard from you throughout the process and knew where it was the whole time. We were very grateful that you kept in touch throughout and that you made yourself available to answer our questions and help us through the process. We were also particularly grateful to your agent for making special arrangements for us as we drove to Lithuania on Thursday when he called to say our shipment was at customs. We waited all day only to find that it was only in a queue and would not be ready until Monday, so he went out of his way to arrange with customs a way to pick up our shipment in our absence so we did not have to drive back. He delivered it safely to our delivery address and we received confirmation of that straight away. This was, by far, the most pleasant experience we've had with shippers... EVER. Thank you so much for your wonderful assistance and for making us feel like valued customers. We will recommend you to anyone we know and will definitely use your company when the need arises. Thank you, again, Chris! Take care, Lezlie & Janis

“Everything arrived intact”

Everything arrived intact.

May 02, 2014 by Lydia Lekka

After having spent 2 years in Minneapolis, MN as a student, I shipped 13 suitcases with personal belongings (clothes, books, etc.) to the port of Piraeus, Athens, Greece. Everything arrived intact. Your instructions were clear from day-one of our communications, so things went smoothly. Apparently there was some confusion with the arrival date, as the departure of the ship was delayed due to bad weather, but the delay was of no more than 2 weeks. Thank you.

“First class service from start to finish”

Smooth sailing all the wayJun 03, 2014 by MarkusJust received our goods yesterday in a London to New York move.

Given that this is a value move, I was surprised how helpful the people were on both sides of the trip. It was all smooth sailing and I received my goods right on schedule!

SW England to Alberta CanadaJun 03, 2014 by Donna & Richard StevensFirst class service from start to finish. Emigrating is quite a stressful thing but Chris's professional and personal attitude I found to be very reassuring.

All our questions and concerns were dealt with quickly, nothing was too much trouble. All deadlines and schedules were met accompanied by phone calls and emails from Chris to check on progress where appropriate.All this for two thirds of the price of the next best quotation. If the are moving countries you will struggle to better UPakWeShip.Thanks for everything, Rich and Donna

“I'm so glad we found UPakWeShip”

Dublin to CharlestonJul 17, 2014 by JasonHi Chris, The drop-off in Dublin went smoothly and the pickup at the Charleston terminal went very well. The staff was nice and helpful. Thanks for all your help in these last few months. It is much appreciated. It is great to have all our belongings quickly and safely. Jason

Thank you!Jul 14, 2014 by Debra KellyWe just moved from New York to Galway, Ireland; as if moving itself wasn't stressful enough, the idea of customs and packing lists and documentation was enough to make my head explode! I'm so glad we found UPackWeShip - Stephanie was amazing to deal with, answered all my questions, and was on top of everything when it came to working through the inevitable confusion that went along with our being first-time international movers. Can't recommend enough!

“very positive experience! ”

Excellent low cost DIY shipping to Canada

Mar 04, 2014 by LouiseWe got a very very competitive rate to have a sole use 20 foot container from the UK to Western Canada. Whilst it is hard work self packing and loading, the cost savings were great. We also could bring everything and nothing got broken!). We paid for door to port (to the inland city we have moved to) and cleared customs ourselves (no charges) and hired a local haulage company to collect and deliver the container for unloading (less than £300). Other agents were quoting £1700 for this piece in Canada alone. Chris in the London office was really helpful and gave us lots of good advice, even when the polar vortex interrupted sailings - and unloading in -25 was quite chilly.....frozen mattresses! Generally a very positive experience! Thanks Chris.

“Don't know what we would have done without Alicia”

US to Portugal, Alicia is awesome.

Mar 18, 2014 by Hudson

Just shipped my boxes yesterday, and it was a painless process overall. And I can't help but feel that a large part of that comes down to the rep assigned (or rather, condemned) to work with me, Alicia. She has been unfailingly patient with me--a person who forgets everything at least three times before he remembers, asks a million inane questions (sometimes the same one more than once) and panics easily when stressed. She was always kind, always patient, and always in good humor, and helped me step-by-step get the whole thing happening and accomplished. Don't know what we would have done without her. Just exactly how the person doing her job should be, and then some.

“UPAK were excellent from the get-go”

Amazing service!

Apr 29, 2014 by AvivaI was moving from NYC to Dublin & I was just shipping clothes & shoes

so doing my own packing was what I wanted. I had 10 relatively small boxes & everywhere else I looked at didn't provide competitive prices. So I went with Upak, but trusting a company with your worldly possessions when you move can be nerve-wracking. You hear all sorts of horror stories... UPAK were excellent from the get-go. They gave me a great price and they sent me clear instructions on what forms to fill out, labels for boxes, etc. The pick up guy came in great time that day so I didn't have to wait in all day. He was also friendly & helpful. From the moment I said goodbye to my boxes I was updated regularly, without asking so there was no need for tracking but it was there if I wanted it. Then when my packages came they came early (they checked with me 1st that was ok) they were flexible when I wanted I update my delivery address & most importantly my boxes came in exactly the same condition I left them in. Excellent experience , would recommend to anyone who is moving. Thanks Upak!

“Stephanie handled this great”USA to NetherlandsMar 14, 2014 by Joshua

Arranged a single U Cube shipment from NC. Alicia handled everything. Information provided was great, my few questions were answered promptly, pick up of the box was a breeze and drop off also without complaints. Was kept well informed while my U Cube was in their hands. Highly recommended!

USA to NetherlandsMar 08, 2014 by John KimmelUPakWeShip was great. They were very clear in their instructions,

and everything went like clockwork, inquiries, paperwork, delivery of the 20 ft. container; no complaints. Stephanie Cardone handled this great and always came right back if I needed to know something.Well my container is on his way!

“Pete was great and kept us informed and answered all of our questions.”

Great service!

Jan 31, 2014 by Andrew OJust received my shipment (from Toronto, Canada to UK) and am very happy with the value and level of service received. Pete was great and kept us informed and answered all of our questions. I would recommend this service to anyone looking to move overseas. Thank you!!

Timeliness and responsiveness to your questionsJan 27, 2014 by Sarah Gibson

Only just begun the process of working with UPakWeShip but so far the process has been far less painful than I imagined. All correspondence has been friendly, timely and efficient, and all the links/supporting documentation has been extremely helpful and informative.

“The U-Cube met my needs perfectly, the price was right,”

Outstanding service!

Feb 07, 2014 by Meredith TannerI'm moving to England, and since I'm not taking much with me, I was

worried that I'd have to pay for more capacity than I needed or end up shipping packages individually. The U-Cube meets my needs perfectly, the price is right, and I can't believe how quick and easy it was to set up the shipment! I'll definitely recommend UPakWeShip to my friends.Artwork ship to Italy and back to USFeb 06, 2014 by Lynn S.Chris - It was a safe delivery, many thanks to your organization for

getting our artwork safely across the ocean TWO times. Hopefully other opportunities will arise.

“absolutely brilliant!” ??

London to Florida

Aug 05, 2014 by Gill Driver

I have just moved from London to Florida and the service and help I received was absolutely brilliant. From start to finish I had help, support and humour with any problems that arose from my end....Thank you Chris in London!! Best price out of all the other shippers and a complete professional service all the way through. I would recommend them to everyone who is thinking of a worldwide move.

USA to Frankfurt, Germany

Aug 05, 2014 by Juliane

I had a fantastic experience with UPackWeShip. My shipment arrived as agreed directly to my new home and the entire process went smoothly. I was constantly kept up to date about the whereabouts of my belongings and the team was always responsive and courteous when I had any questions. Why did I pick this service in the first place? Because of the unbeatable price! I don't regret it, everything happened as advertised. Thank you to the entire team for making my move hassle-free!
