UPakWeShip has been so easy to work with. We are utterly satisfied and very glad for their seamless service. We moved from the US to France and they were excellent in every aspect. Easy to work with, helpful with all the different steps, keeping us updated with the status of our shipment and respected the timeline. Everything was in good condition. We couldn't be more satisfied
Everything went smoothly, pick-up was on time, and we received delivery about 2 weeks earlier than estimated. The pallet arrived in great shape no damage. We also got communication at each stage of transit. Excellent service.
I was super impressed with how easy it was to use the U Crate service of UpakWeship. Building and packing the crate was explained clearly and simply, and both the European and American liaisons took care of everything else. The price was also fair. No notes, everything was great.
Great service for a fair price. My U Crate 50 arrived after about 2 months with all my things complete, unopened and intact. Shipping from US west coast to Denmark.
We had a fantastic experience with UPackWeShip moving a pallet from NC to Germany! The whole process was seamless, and we received our pallet exactly two months and one day after it was sent off! The whole pallet was in perfect condition aside from one minor dent in one of the boxes which we were very pleased by. Would definitely use this service again!
So happy with this company. I am no stranger to using shipping and this is a very smooth and painless solution. Professional at both ends, both picking up and delivering at the destination. We were constantly informed of the progress and door to door from Sweden to FL, USA was 3 months. This was only a couple weeks more than predicted, but I think that was due to waiting for the shipping load to be complete with other shipments from Rotterdam. no problems going through customs and a competitive price. Again. Extremely professional service. I would definitely use them again.
Shipped from France to the US. From obtaining a reasonable quote to delivery at my home the process was smooth, with excellent communication throughout.
Moving internationally can be an overwhelming experience, and I was naturally apprehensive about letting go of my belongings and entrusting them to a shipping company for such a big move from Chicago USA to Porto Portugal. However, UPakWeShip completely eased my concerns with their exceptional communication and attention to detail. From the very start, they kept me informed at every step, promptly answering any questions I had and providing clear updates that made the whole process feel manageable. Their follow-up was consistent, and I never once felt lost or uncertain about what was happening with my shipment. The way they handled everything reduced my fear and when the delivery was made on time and without any issues, it solidified my trust in them. I would highly recommend UpakWeship to anyone navigating an international move—they truly made the experience much less stressful. A special thanks to Alicia Hawk, Elda Martinez who handheld me through the process. Thank you!
We had a fantastic experience with UPakWeShip! They were extremely well organized and fast with correspondence. Everything arrived in perfect condition. No complaints!
The ease and professional support makes moving across continents super easy. The attention to detail, help with all the forms and constant communication lets you know your personal belongings are in good hands. This is the 2nd time I have worked with UPakWeShip and I would definitely use them again. Thanks.
Thank you Rebecca and James for your excellent communication giving all the needed communication throughout the process
This was a fantastic solution for shipping my personal belongings from the States to France at short notice. After some online searching this really turned out to be the best value for my needs. The crate kit was a great design, worked really well for packing the pallet at home making the best use of space available in the container. It all arrived intact, safe and sound within the timeframe outlined at the beginning. Every step of the way I had the necessary guidance and reassurance on the process, so I couldn't have been happier with UPakWeShip's service.
We just unloaded our UPAK100, shipped from New Mexico to Southern Italy (almost 3 months door to door). Everything was in good condition at arrival. There was a minor problem at the beginning, the packet with the box arrived without the pallet, and it was promptly reshipped. They rely on local companies, so sometimes it might not being their fault for possible problems. They communicated well throughout the shipping process, the boat being used, the customs, the local movers, and we are very happy. The pricing is very competitive for an international moving company, as long as you don't need to ship furniture this is great. They also placed it in our garage, as it was accessible from the road. I read some nasty comments about a TV being broken, honestly this is just not the service for this type of stuff unless you know how to safely pack it. It is a box being held together via fairly strong straps, and we had some extras. It worked great for us, with half of the box being books and the other half being smaller electronics and clothes. I will definitely consider their service again if we have ever to move all our stuff.
UPakWeShip was very communicative and helpful, what we didn't like what the second company they handed off our container to for delivery. Although this wasn't the same company we had no say in or control over this second company who was incredibility difficult to work with.
I used UpakWeShip from South Florida to Spain for a recent move. A few things that might be important. This is not my first long distance move. I have shipped my things cross country several times but have never moved internationally. My things were already packed and in storage as I had a long immigration process. I researched several moving companies but ultimately came back to the FIRST company I spoke with when I began this process, UPakWeShip. Finally, I am VERY organized 😉 Natalie was amazing throughout and communication was clear, accurate and timely. Time estimates given were realistic and I could easily track my container. I was able to get my paperwork over with plenty of time before it was due. I found the process to be straightforward, and clear. Once things moved over to the EU I was working with Kate. Communication continued to be timely and even though I was super stressed about how my things would look after being on a boat for a month, they arrived EXACTLY as we packed them. I was shocked. This is somehow the smoothest move I have ever have and I am so thrilled to have my things here safely with me now in Spain. Kate ensured customs documents were in order and my things cleared with no issues. Pricing was more than fair and I already had trusted moving help in the area so for me it was the perfect arrangement. The driver(s) were lovely and arrived on time. In spite of how many things can go wrong on an international shipment I am still shocked how smooth this was. Thank you again Natalie, Kate and John for starting this process off so well for me. I am forever grateful. I would use you guys again in a heartbeat.
My experience with UpakWeShip so far–because of the superior customer service provided by Alicia Hawk–has been fantastic! Every step of the way, from the initial booking through delivery of our pallet and pick-up of our belongings, she provided guidance and details to keep us informed and on track. Alicia has actively stayed in touch all the way through. She is diligent, thorough and a pleasure to work with. We have every expectation that her colleagues on this side will be just as focused on service. We trust they'll be keeping us up-to-date and that our shipment will arrive safely and as planned. Thank you for the peace of mind you provide.
We found UPakWeShip to be a very effective company with which to work in our move to Portugal. We used the U Crate service and found their organization to be especially communicative with clear guidelines, helpful documentation, beneficial updates, and quick responses. They made a potentially challenging and stressful process quite manageable.
We used UPakweShip from California to the Netherlands and were so pleased with the service! Price and time estimates were absolutely accurate and any questions we had, they were promptly answered by Alicia and Elda. We were given clear instructions on how to pack which made the process go very smoothly from door to door. Everything arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend them!
Overall we had a really good experience with Upak and saved more than 50% on our moving costs compared to a company that packs and ships for you. It might require a bit more work and research but it’s worth it. Our account manager Kate was super helpful during the entire operation and all our stuff arrived safely from the US (North Carolina) to the Netherlands. Thanks!
I have now used UPAK We ship four times across the Atlantic and each time it has been incredibly simple and easy process. Highly recommend.
Our shipment went door to door: Berlin, Germany to Denver, Colorado. It was in perfect condition and UPakWeShip communicated effectively every step of the way. I highly recommend this company for shipping.
When my husband and I decided to move to Spain we thought we'd have to get rid of most of our things- people all over the internet say it's best to do that rather than pay to move everything, just to move with a few suitcases. We had some family furniture that we were forbidden to sell so the plan was to leave some things in storage. One day "just for fun" we decided to research what it would cost to move everything in a 20 foot shipping container- we were shocked at how affordable it is! So that's exactly what we did, and I couldn't be happier about that decision. Our container arrived in a very reasonable amount of time with everything intact, and cost half of what it cost us to move from Florida to the Northeast US. The process was straightforward and UPakWeShip gave great guidance along the way. I have to give a huge shoutout and my utmost respect and thanks to Kate in England, who coordinated our container arrival in Spain. Our situation was not exactly straightforward, and Kate patiently dealt with unforeseen obstacles, a few flat out mistakes on my part, and was lovely through it all. Customs rules and regulations are complicated, and I am sure I could not have done this without her. You're the best Kate! I would use this company again and recommend them without hesitation.
From the very beginning to the very end of this process it was very pleasant experience to work with all and everyone involved .Thank you!
We moved our belonging from the United States to Portugal using UPackWeShip. From the very start, this company was very professional and provided us with all the information needed for the move. They provided updates throughout the move on the status and location of our shipment. We highly recommend the use of UPackWeShip to all.
Every thing went perfectly well. One month only from NJ to France. No hidden cost, no bad surprises. Kate who coordinated things on the France side was fantastic, patient and super responsive.
Packing yourself is definitely a different experience that will bring you and your significant other closer to eachother 😉 - luckily we had Natalie taking care of the logistics, and anytime we had a question she was there. Our container is on it‘s way to Germany so fingers crossed 5 stars for the American side of business - let’s hope we will see it soon in Germany Thank you Natalie and UPakWeship
We used UpakWeShip for their full service moving package from Amsterdam to California. They did an amazing job packaging our belongings as they all arrived in pristine condition at our new home. The communication was good throughout the process and our container arrived within the predicted window.
Clear instructions and ghreat communication, will use again for any future international moves
I used UPakWeShip to move household items from Texas to Portugal. The process was clearly documented by them and went smoothly. My items were received in good condition in about 8 weeks (sooner than I expected). I would recommend them for any one planning an overseas move.
Everything was handled with the utmost care. There were delays with the shipping but that had nothing to do with UPakWShip. All questions and concerns were given fast responses from both James and Rebecca. Both of them made the move from Europe to Texas easy and mostly stress free.
Palette shipment to Portugal went smoothly, everything was delivered undamaged. Timeframe was in line with the one initially projected. Emails along the way were answered in a timely manner. I will also recommend using UPakWeShip for international shipment because of the very straightforward shipping documentation requirements.
I only had great experiences with UPakWeShip. One move from USA to Germany, a second one back from Germany to USA and both times the customer service was on par, the communication throughout the process terrific and personable, and the pricing was the best I could find. The concept of packing the palette myself on my own time is best for me and easy to do. I would certainly recommend this company for any of your moving needs!
UPakWeShip did a great job handling my shipment of household goods from Europe to Oregon USA. They step you through the process of everything and make it all very easy, and everything showed up in good shape. Be warned that it does take a while for the shipping, so understand you will be without your things for several months, but this was explained to me at the beginning so I was prepared.
Excellent service, professionalism, on time, door to door, the employees are amazing... awesome!!! Thanks for everything. We really appreciate it! From Orlando, Florida to Marbella, Spain
We used UPakWeShip for our move from the US to France and it went very smoothly. Communication in the US and Europe was great. Thanks Natalie and Kate! It took a month and a half door to door for a 20" container. A bit long but not due to upak. The ship line company went through all the eastern US ports and several European ports before arriving to France. Overall very positive experience. Will use them again for sure!
The delivery of my stuff from Madison,CT to Sofia, Bulgaria was exactly as promised - no delays, no customs hassle. Everything was in perfect condition. Actually it exceeded my expectations. Thank you!
My palet was delivered after 9 weeks from Chicago suburbs to Germany. During the time, they were keeping contact about the status. The transport itself is done by 3rd party truck/warehouse companies and shipping lines, UPakWeShip only organizes the route. How the palet is physically handled is up to those.
I was in need to send a few boxes from the US to Europe and the company UPackWeShip answers exactly my needs at a competitive price. From the reception of the pallet in my garage in California to the delivery at my house in France the whole process was easy and smooth. I was able to pack at my own rhythm and utilize fully the whole space of the box. It arrived perfectly intact in France. Alicia in the US and Elda in Europe kept me posted of every steps, l knew at all time where my box was and what was next, the updates kept my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for their service and support. I highly recommend UPackWeShip for a light moving from US to Europe.
We moved to Portugal, UpakWe ship was the perfect option. They gave us every thing we needed to put our crate together. It was pretty easy the hardest part was stacking all the different size boxes in a way that filled all the holes. We highly recommend "UpakWeShip"
I can't begin to thank Alicia and Elda for their kindness and patience during this move. UPakWeShip provided me with absolutely outstanding service! I moved from Michigan to Spain, and used the UCrate 100 pallet. I was VERY happy with it! Once it shipped, I received my pallet in about 6 weeks! I cannot recommend this company highly enough. The price and service were excellent!
U Crate Service from US to Portugal. Supplies shipped right to the house, easy to assemble and pack. Directions on filling out all the forms and labels. Showed up on time for pick up and delivery was on time and easy. Would use again!!
We used UPakWeShip to ship a crate from Denver, CO to Europe. The information on the website explains the process exactly. Representatives on both sides of the Atlantic are professional and extremely helpful. The entire process was incredibly easy and painless. I recommend UPakWeShip for anyone planning a move to Europe!
Received good service from personnel working with UPakWeShip--professional, good information-sharing and prompt in replying to questions. We look forward to receiving our shipment soon.
I used this service in Nov 2023 to travel from the US to the UK. I had them deliver the pallet of packing supplies a couple months in advance so I could make sure everything fit. They picked the pallet up Nov 2nd without issue. The pallet arrived on Jan 15th the same condition it was picked up. No items were shifted or damaged. Whole delivery took about 10 weeks which was a tad longer than expected but with it being the holidays I imagine that was a factor. The paperwork they sent was simple and instructions were easy to follow. If you're moving internationally I would recommend this service. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to pack and fit everything you're taking and know how much space you need before you order your pallets.
We just received our shipment of 3-U100 crates from South Carolina, USA to Faro, Portugal. Took just about 10 weeks and everything is in perfect condition. I highly recommend UPakWeShip, it was the best price for us, shipped through customs in Rotterdam which was smooth sailing and delivered into our garage. Thank you Alicia and Elda for all your support with our household belongings.
We used UPakWeShip to ship our stuff from the US to the Netherlands. We had constant communication both in the US and Europe on the various status of the package. We were able to get answers to all our question, and the package was delivered safely, on time and intact
The services of UCrate (US)/UPakWeShip (EU) was unparalleled with support throughout the shipping process. At all times, we had a “contact person” to guide us and keep us informed of the status of our crate. Our belongings were picked up from our US doorstep and delivered to our new European doorstep. The shipping process was seamless and relatively quick. I would highly recommend this shipping company and use them again in the future.
