To holland aka the Netherland Schmidt got us to Holland with very little stress involve. Everyone I dealt with here spoke kindly and provided some great hospitality along the way. The pricing was all inclusive and didn't have any factors or fine print that would give it the ability to change later on. I honestly liked this style of moving much better than local moving. I was under the impression with how tricky moving over seas is that there was going to be handful of issues but clearly they know what they're doing.

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..

Thanks for getting me to the Chi! The move to Chicago was done in a day and half. The truck driver called me once he reached the Illinois border early in the morning. I slept through the first call but answered the second when they were an hour out. This was one of the very few moves I've enjoyed and to think they got it done during a very snowy time, tremendous job by the whole staff.

Got Everything Toronto Safely International shipping is no joke. It can be quite expensive depending where you go. We got a few quotes and some were unbelievable. Schmidt worked out a very reasonable rate for us. To me it's important to not let the stress of it all get the best of you and pick the right place. Schmidt handled my move to Toronto well. They clearly knew what they were doing. All paperwork and the move itself was handled by them from beginning to end. They were realistic about the outcome and never once lied to me. Service was spot on.

Terrible experience with Schmidt Terrible experience with Schmidt, around 8 items, some of them very high value, turned up scratched and/or broken, packing consisted of items being thrown into boxes without proper wrapping, we couldn’t believe it when the van turned up as it had no branding, the guys weren’t wearing uniforms and didn’t speak English, the van itself looked like it should have been sold for scrap several years ago. Total sharks’ outfit, do not be tempted by the low prices, it will cost you more in the long run.
