I had an excellent experience with my out of state move from California to Spain. The price was competitive and it was worth every penny. Everyone was professional from beginning to end. I also had partial packing service and also transport three cars, the whole process went smoothly and all arrived safe, in a perfect condition. I will definitely use them for my next move.
We moved from our office in downtown Miami to Sydney, Australia, and Schmidt made the entire process stress-free. A friend had used them for a move to Tokyo and spoke highly of their service, so we gave them a try. They showed up exactly on time, packed everything securely, and handled our electronics and furniture with extra care. Communication was great throughout. Everything arrived safely and on schedule. Highly recommend them for any international relocation!
When my best friend and his wife told me they were finally making the big move from San Francisco to Melbourne, Australia, I knew it was going to be a massive undertaking. As someone who had helped them through every stage of wedding planning, job transitions, and even finding their first home, I felt personally invested in making sure this international move went smoothly too. After doing some serious research together, we landed on Schmidt International Shipping, and let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions we made. From the first phone call, Schmidt's team was organized, informative, and genuinely kind. On moving day, I was there helping them sort and prep last minute items, and I witnessed firsthand how professional and punctual the movers were. They arrived early, took time to walk everyone through the process, and used top-tier protective materials to wrap everything from antique vases to electronics and even a beloved upright piano. They meticulously labeled each box by room and destination, which made me feel at ease knowing my friends' belongings were in such capable hands. Nothing felt rushed, every step was deliberate and thoughtful. What stood out most was the communication. Even after the items left the port, Schmidt kept my friends regularly updated on shipment progress, custom updates, and arrival timelines. Although I wasn't part of the unpacking process in Australia, my friends reported that upon arrival overseas in Melbourne, Schmidt was just as courteous and efficient, ensuring that unloading and unpacking went just as smoothly. Seeing how relieved and grateful my friends were, I couldn't help but feel a little proud for having helped guide them to the right company. A huge thank you to Schmidt International Shipping for making such a major life transition feel manageable and even enjoyable. I'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone moving internationally, especially if you want peace of mind every step of the way.
My brother was in need to uproot to abroad to the Philippines back in early May this year and I have experience with using international shipping companies to help the move. I used this company, Schmidt International Shipping, where their service reigned supreme in customer service when I talked to the sales rep, the professional movers and getting all the paper in-line with the move. Paul helped us get it all together with pick up and delivery and within 2 weeks, everything was delivered with no missing items and no added fees. We were both very satisfied with everything.
I have some family in SF who are moving out to Australia and they asked for recommendations on moving companies. Heard about this company through a friend who also moved out of the country recently. Brad was the associate who helped me over the phone. He gave us a great deal and reassured my family that their belongings would be in good hands during the transition process. My family had a lot of old delicate family antiques that required special handling. Once everything was scheduled, we had everything sorted out on the day the movers came.
Schmidt has been exceptionally professional and courteous throughout our international move from NYC to London. We had an excellent experience working with them. I surveyed multiple moving companies and Schmidt stood out as offering high-quality service at a fair price. Thank you!
If you are looking for a fantastic international shipping company, Schmidt International Shipping will definitely meet your needs. We moved from Richmond, CA to Panama City, Panama. Once our household goods arrived in Panama City, Schmidt International Shipping hired Canal Movers and Logistics Corporation to deliver our goods to us. After unpacking everything, we only found one broken plate. Everything about our move from start to finish was exceptional and the care taken in packing our belonging and getting everything to us was seamless and the best moving experience we've ever had. And we've been moved professionally five other times because of my job domestically in the U.S. You won't regret hiring Schmidt International Shipping.
The move from Santa Barbara to Munich was very well organized by Schmidt international shipping. We shipped by sea, and all the household contents were received in good order with 3 months. The experience was smooth and hassle free. Schmidt is a very good and professionally well organized company.
Schmidt International moved my household from California to Frankfurt, Germany. They gave us a fair price. The pickup was on time and professional, everything needed got wrapped in cardboard and foil. It all arrived safe on time, including my car. Thanks a lot!
Im gonna be I was pretty stressed planning my move, but these guys made it way easier than I expected. No surprise fees was a great plus. The movers were careful with my stuff and everything showed up on time. Nothing was damaged in transportation and it went smoothly. Solid, reliable moving company.

I would say, Schmidt is a number 1 shipping company. The work was done in a best way possible. I can not imagine what I would do without help of this company. The service they provide is amazing. I needed to move all of my stuff from New York City to Paris, France. With them everything was super quick and easy. Great communication, everyone is so nice, very reliable and professional. My moving was planned in advance, the movers arrived to my place right on time. It didn't take long for the guys to pack all my stuff and load it to the truck. They were very careful and respectful with everything. The delivery also was super quick and safe. Im beyond happy with this moving company and would love to recommend to everyone who is challenged with international moving. Thank you guys so so so much.
These guys are awesome! When moving out of the country (and with kids!) I was worried about how I'd get all my items to my new home. A friend recommended me to Schmidt and I'm so thankful she did! They took care of everything for me.
My experience with Schmidt Relocation International was great they gave me excellent service from start to finish. My family and I were moving to London from southern California I contacted them they gave me a good quote within my budget on moving day the team of movers showed up early and immediately started moving boxes and wrapping furniture with mats and plastic they paid close attention to detail without being told to be careful with my glass table and fine art I was very happy with how professional they were the house was empty and on the truck in a few hours. When I got to London it didn't take long for them to show up I received the same great service on drop off as I did on pick up. all of my belongings were there with nothing broken they took everything off the truck to it's designated location and set up the beds for me. I'm happy I chose Schmidt International. They made my move easy with no stress I'm definitely giving them 5 stars
