International Shipping Options

Choosing the right shipping method is one of the most important decisions when planning an international move. Factors such as your destination, shipment size, timeline, and budget all play a role in determining the best transportation solution. Our international moving specialists will help you evaluate your options and recommend the most efficient approach for your relocation.

Ocean Freight

Ocean Freight cost-effective option

Ocean freight is the preferred choice for most international household moves because it offers the best balance of affordability and capacity. Whether you’re relocating an entire household or shipping a smaller volume of belongings, ocean transportation provides a reliable solution for moving furniture, personal possessions, and household goods across the globe.

Air Freight

Air Freight - Fastest international shipping option

When timing is a critical factor, air freight provides the fastest way to transport household belongings internationally. It is often recommended for customers with tight relocation schedules or those who need essential items delivered ahead of their primary shipment. While typically more expensive than ocean freight, the shorter transit times can help make the relocation process more efficient.

SERIOUSLY the NICEST people ever. Between the three ladies that packed the house and the two gentlemen who loaded the truck. Everyone was outstanding, considerate of our items and kind.

We are being moved by the army so we don’t have much say so on who we get but I’m so happy we were placed with this company!

If you want a moving company that keeps you informed, is friendly, and goes above and beyond for all your moving needs, look no further than Nilson Van and Storage, an agent for Mayflower. Jim completed my estimate in my home and he was incredibly kind and easy to work with. Cindy, my moving coordinator, kept me informed every step of the way and was always willing to answer any questions I had. She continues to follow up even after the move was complete! Melvin was the driver and in charge of the days of the move and delivery days. Melvin and his team were careful and considerate of my personal items and ensured the move was smooth and as least stressful it could be. I will be sure to use Nilson Van and Storage for any moving needs and I recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Nilson Van and Storage did a wonderful job helping us move from their customer service to the move itself. Karen did a wonderful job through out the consultation and ensuring all our questions were answered in regards to packing. Theresa made sure to follow up all throughout the process, making sure everything was taken care of prior to the crew arriving to even after, which was very much needed in the chaos of moving! And of course Stanley and his crew were amazing! Even after being stuck in traffic with delays they did not waste a single minute getting all of our items on the truck for transit. All of our items arrived in great shape, and the guys made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it! I am so glad we went with their company, it made our move hastle free!

We were assigned Nilson for our military international move a few months ago. They moved our household goods and our unaccompanied baggage and did an amazing job. They were very friendly, packed everything with care, and were very thorough with their labeling of the boxes. Our whole house was packed and ready to go within two days! I want to call out Ty specifically, he made the process so much easier than it could have been and was great about answering all of my questions!
Response from the owner 2 years ago
We appreciate you sharing your positive experience, Lauren. We value your opinion and we're thrilled to know your move went smoothly. A sincere thank you for your service, and wishing you all the best in your new surroundings!

Half our experience was fine but when they packed our kitchen up we told them to not pack two cupboards and they did. One those cupboards had our dog's prescription food so we had to go through boxes to find.

We value your insights and appreciate your feedback. We want every customer to have a positive moving experience and our team is reviewing your concerns to make moving better for every customer we serve.

Wow! This was my Wife’s and I first big move using a moving company, and Angie, Ty, and Kayla exceeded every expectation we had. Ty talked me through every part of the move, showed me the truck, and told me exactly how the unpackers should handle our stuff. Kayla took me through all the paperwork and ensured every single item we had was accounted for and tagged with a corresponding number so we can track it all once we get to our unpacking portion. Angie worked incredibly fast and took extra care of every plate and cup in the kitchen to ensure every item was individually wrapped and secured before packing it. All three of these incredible movers never made assumptions about items and asked along the way if we wanted certain things packed… thanks again Ty, Angie, and Kayla- y’all were amazing!
