Time and research paid off It's very difficult finding a good International moving company to put your trust in. I got quotes from a bunch of different place all at different price points. My goal wasn't just trying to find the most affordable, but to find a place with a lot experience. That was the hardest part to figure out. It took research and some asking around but Schmidt ended up being the best option for me. They were easy to speak with over the phone and completely upfront with pricing. I needed everything to arrive in 3 weeks or less and they were able to meet my needs. The shipment arrived in great shape and the movers at the other end were very professional. No Complaints.

They Were Worth It. I really liked Schmidt International because it was a different type of operation than your regular cookie cuter moving company. In my moving history I've always gotten hit with an additional fee. It was either a gas fee, or an hourly addition for the movers. There was always something. With Schmidt I had a clear understanding of exactly the price the whole time. They set it up so there was no confusion. Not guessing games or tricks to get me in the door. They were honest hardworking and gave a couple updates each week while my shipment headed to Frankfurt, Germany. In short, this was one mover that was actually worth the amount I spent.

High Quality Service As they promised amazing service, well I most definitely got it! It was my first experience ever moving overseas and it was a bit of a time crunch for me because I had accepted my promotion last minute. Having to move out on time and finding a moving company that I could trust was stressful, to say the least, but I'm glad I ran into Schmidt. The wonders of the internet I tell ya! From being at my condo on earlier than expected to packing almost EVERYTHING for me, it was smooth sailing and carefully packaged. They moved quick, but were organized the entire time. They worked as a team too, so as one would focus more on the bigger appliances and breaking them down, the other was able to pack my fragile items, for instance, all of my art, lamps, sculptures, vanity mirror, and a ton more. It was incredible service and a huge help to me. Well worth it!

Thanks! We moved furniture and a lot of fragile items. Thankfully these guys have a packing service and were able to pack our artwork, plus 1 lighting fixture. Everything arrived undamaged with no additional pricing due at the end. They really did a good job of making the whole move as simple as can be. Rates were easy to understand and there was no fine print of any kind. Got us relocated to Frisco, TX without a problem.

Avoid at all costs, company unable to deliver items overseas Contracted Schmidt International Shipping for an overseas residential move from Boston to London. Initial exchanges and pick up of items went very smoothly on July 19th, 2021 with an estimated delivery window of around 10 weeks. Company seemed knowledgeable and handled tax documents carefully. But.. Fast forward to February 2022 and the shipment is yet to be delivered. It’s been more than 7 months and we are yet to receive our furniture pieces, clothes and personal belongings. As it is easy to understand, we experienced significant issues caused by this delay which made the overseas move of the family extremely difficult and significantly more costly than intended as we had to buy a lot of items again. While the international fret sector is experiencing unprecedented shortages, Schmidt international seems to have very little bargaining power to get their customers’ belongings loaded on ships. They failed to load the container on two different ships and had to eventually hand it over to a larger company/fret forwarder with presumably better access to ships. While communication was maintained, we had very little to no clarity on expected timelines following the first two failed attempts to load the container. Last issue to date now that the container finally reached a port in the UK, a new company we never dealt with is requesting an additional payment to deliver to the 3rd floor (!!) The entire situation is simply unacceptable and I would recommend avoiding Schmidt at all costs and sticking to larger companies.. Update March 2022: We were charged additional docking fees of 132usd as the shipment incurred charges when docked in New York for several months..
