Efficient, Cost-Effective International Moving Services
Choosing the right international mover makes all the difference in how smoothly your relocation goes. Through our partnerships with North American International, Jackson Moving and Storage is able to offer unbeatable international moving services backed by a global network of resources and expertise.
We work hard to ensure that your international move is a timely and cost-effective experience, no matter where in the world you’re heading. Through our exceptional ocean and air shipping options, you can depend on Jackson Moving and Storage to find the right shipping method for your timeline, budget, and the specific needs of your shipment.
Ocean Freight Shipping
For larger international shipments, ocean freight offers a cost-effective way to transport your household goods overseas. We coordinate every detail of ocean shipping, from secure container loading to customs documentation, so your belongings travel safely to their destination in a timely manner. Ocean freight is often the preferred option for full household moves, where the lower cost per shipment outweighs the longer transit time.
Air Freight Shipping
When timing is a priority, air freight provides a faster alternative for international shipments. This option works well for smaller shipments or situations where you need your belongings to arrive quickly. The Jackson team will help you weigh the cost and timeline differences between ocean and air shipping so you can choose the option that best fits your move. Throughout the process, we provide complete price transparency to help you stay aligned with your budget.
Door-to-Door Coordination
Our international moving services don’t stop at the dock or the airport. We coordinate your move from your current home all the way to your new space overseas, managing the handoffs between transportation methods so you don’t have to. This means you don’t need to stress about the logistics—we’ve got it covered.
International Moving Services You Can Depend On
Before your belongings are loaded onto a plane or ship, our international movers will specially pack and crate your possessions to ensure they arrive at their destination safely and securely. International shipping involves significantly more handling than a domestic move, which means your items need professional packing techniques to keep them safe and undamaged through the long journey.
Specialized Packing and Crating
Our team uses expert packing and crating techniques designed specifically for international transport. Items that may be perfectly safe for a domestic move often require additional protection for an overseas journey, and our crews know how to assess and prepare your belongings accordingly, building custom crates for items that need extra protection for transport.
Free Stretchwrap Protection
For your upholstered furniture, we provide free stretchwrap protection as a standard part of our international packing process. This added layer of protection helps guard against dirt, moisture, and damage during the shipping and handling process for your international move. Steps like this keep your items in the best condition possible during the relocation.
Full-Replacement Value Options
International moves come with added risk simply due to the distance and number of handoffs involved. That’s why we offer full-replacement value protection options, giving you added peace of mind that your belongings are covered throughout the entire journey. You can trust the Jackson team to maintain transparency if any issues arise.
Customs Documentation Support
International moves require specific documentation to clear customs at your destination. Our team helps guide you through the paperwork process, so you arrive prepared and avoid unnecessary delays at the border. Navigating customs requirements on your own can be one of the more stressful parts of an international move, and we aim to take that burden off your plate with our international moving expertise.
Storage Solutions
If your international move involves a gap between your departure and your arrival overseas, or if you need to store belongings you aren’t taking with you, our secure storage facilities offer both short- and long-term options in a clean, climate-controlled environment, monitored around the clock.
A Single Point of Contact Throughout Your Move
Throughout your entire international move, you will work with one point of contact instead of having to deal with multiple representatives. Coordinating an international relocation already involves enough moving parts, and we believe in simplifying this process for our customers. By having an assigned moving representative to work with, you can receive the most efficient, clear communication possible throughout the entire move.
When it comes to international movers in the area, our personalized relocation services are unmatched in the industry. Your dedicated contact manages your move from start to finish, keeping you informed at every stage and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks, from your initial estimate through final delivery at your new address overseas.
Competitive Rates for Every Size of Move
We offer competitive international moving rates and special discounts for smaller international shipments. Some international moves just require shipping a few key items overseas, and we make sure that pricing reflects the actual scope of your move, rather than a one-size-fits-all rate. Whether you’re shipping a few boxes or your entire household, you’ll receive a clear, detailed estimate before your move gets underway.

International Movers | FAQs
How far in advance should I book my international move?

Should I ship my belongings by ocean or air?
The right choice depends on your budget, timeline, and the size of your shipment. Ocean freight is typically more cost-effective for larger shipments, while air freight offers a faster option when timing is a priority. Our team can help you weigh your options based on your specific circumstances; call us today to learn more.
