FAQ

What You're Probably Wondering About Moving Internationally

How much does an international move cost in 2025?

International costs are based on the volume (cubic feet) of your shipment and the destination. A move to Europe typically ranges from $6,000 to $10,000+. We provide free, on-site surveys to ensure you get an accurate, binding quote.

How long does it take for my items to arrive in a new country?

Ocean freight typically takes 6 to 10 weeks depending on the destination and port congestion. Air freight can arrive in as little as 1 to 2 weeks. Your coordinator will provide a detailed timeline based on your specific route.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL (Full Container Load) means you have a private container for your items only. LCL (Less than Container Load) means you share space with other shipments, which is often more affordable for smaller moves.

Do I have to be present for customs clearance?

In many countries, you do not need to be physically present at the port, but you must be in the country and have the proper residency documents. We handle the communication with customs officials on your behalf.

Can I track my shipment across the ocean?

Yes! As part of our first-class service, we provide you with tracking information so you can monitor your container’s journey across the world in real-time.

We were very pleased with First Class Moving. We had them pack and move us and they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with every item. They handled both the heavy furniture and the fragile pieces with the same level of attention, and it made the move much less stressful than it might otherwise have been. What really stood out was their positive attitude and clear communication throughout the entire process. They worked quickly and carefully without ever feeling rushed. If you’re looking for movers who are reliable, respectful, and genuinely committed to doing great work, I highly recommend them. Phil was extremely helpful in our move, patiently answering all the dumb questions we asked and keeping us advised throughout the process.

Used them a few times. Professional, efficient, reasonably priced and excellent client service. We have moved several times internationally and nationally with different moving companies but found First Class Moving Company checks all the boxes. Steve is experienced, client focussed, great to deal with and knows what he is doing for the best interest of client and his firm.

From the moment we requested a quote, to the final delivery, Phil and the entire team provide great service. Phil was prompt with his appointment to quote and work with us on the best way to handle the move. The scheduling team always returned our calls and answered any questions we had. The packers and loaders were careful with our furniture and the people who unloaded were timely when unloading. Phil was exceptionally knowledgeable about the business and was professional and prompt with his appointments. Was always willing to answer any questions. We heard about Phil fro someone else and he didn’t disappoint.
