Seamless International Relocation with Nilson Van and Storage

International Moving to the Netherlands

Moving from the USA to the Netherlands can involve your home, your work, your business, or specialized items that are important to you. We helps bring those moving needs together, giving you one team to help plan the transportation, preparation, handling, storage, and delivery involved in your relocation.

From the first conversation to the final delivery, we focus on understanding what you are moving and what your move requires. That means you get moving services built around your shipment, rather than trying to fit your relocation into a one-size-fits-all plan.

Moving internationally also means managing decisions on both sides of the journey.

The goal is to give you a clearer moving plan, fewer things to coordinate on your own, and a team you can turn to throughout the process.

Shipping Options for Moving to the Netherlands From the USA

Every international relocation is different. The right shipping and service combination depends on how much you’re moving, your desired timeline, budget, destination requirements, and whether you need additional support such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Nilson Van and Storage offers flexible international moving solutions to help customers find the most practical approach for their relocation to the Netherlands.

Full Container Load (FCL)

A Full Container Load (FCL) is often the preferred option for larger international moves. Your household goods are loaded into a dedicated shipping container that is reserved exclusively for your shipment. This option provides maximum container space and minimizes handling throughout the transportation process, making it a popular choice for full household relocations, commercial moves, and larger shipments.

Shared Container Shipping (LCL)

Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipping allows customers to share container space with other international shipments traveling to the same region. This can be a practical solution for smaller household moves, apartments, partial relocations, or customers bringing only selected belongings to the Netherlands. By paying only for the space required, many customers find this option to be an efficient alternative to reserving an entire container.

Air Freight Services

For time-sensitive relocations, air freight provides a faster transportation option for important belongings that need to arrive sooner. Air freight is commonly used for essential personal items, business materials, documents, electronics, or smaller shipments that cannot wait for ocean transportation. Some customers choose to combine air freight and ocean freight services to balance speed and cost.

Door-to-Door Moving Services

Our door-to-door international moving services help simplify the relocation process by coordinating multiple stages of the move through a single provider. Depending on your requirements, services may include packing, loading, transportation, customs documentation support, storage arrangements, destination delivery, and final placement of belongings at your new home or business location in the Netherlands.

How Much Does It Cost to Move to the Netherlands From the USA?

The cost of moving to the Netherlands from the USA depends on the size of your shipment, the shipping method you choose, your pickup and delivery locations, packing requirements, storage needs, and any specialty items that require additional handling. Because every international move is unique, the best way to determine pricing is through a personalized moving assessment.

Shipment Size

The amount of household goods being moved is one of the biggest factors affecting relocation costs. Larger shipments require additional packing materials, labor, container space, and transportation resources, while smaller shipments may qualify for shared container options.

Shipping Method

International moving costs vary based on the shipping method selected. Ocean freight is commonly used for household relocations, while air freight offers faster delivery for time-sensitive shipments. Shared container shipping may help reduce costs for smaller moves.

Packing Services

Professional packing services help protect belongings during transit. Fragile items, antiques, artwork, electronics, and oversized furniture often require specialized materials and custom packing solutions.

Storage Requirements

Temporary or long-term storage may be needed when moving schedules and housing availability do not align. Storage services can be added before shipping, during transit, or after delivery.

Pickup and Delivery Locations

The origin and destination locations can influence moving logistics. Distance, accessibility, elevator access, parking restrictions, and delivery requirements may impact transportation planning and overall costs.

Specialty Items and Additional Services

Items such as pianos, fine art, antiques, vehicles, and oversized furniture often require specialized handling. Additional services like unpacking, furniture placement, and shipment tracking can also affect the overall moving estimate.

Factors That Affect Shipping Timelines

How Long Does Shipping to the Netherlands Take?

Shipping household goods from the USA to the Netherlands can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the shipping method, shipment size, customs clearance requirements, and final delivery location. Air freight offers faster delivery, while ocean freight is commonly used for larger household relocations and provides a cost-effective shipping solution.

What Should You Bring When Moving to the Netherlands From the USA?

International shipping gives you a chance to be selective. Focus on the belongings and items that are important to you, practical to move, or difficult to replace.

What You Want to Keep : Prioritize furniture, personal belongings, family keepsakes, artwork, and other items you want in your new life.

What Makes Sense to Ship: Consider the size, condition, value, and replacement cost of larger items before using valuable international shipping space.

What Requires Extra Care: Heavy, oversized, fragile, commercial, or specialized items may need additional packing and handling. Tell us what you are moving so we can plan accordingly.

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!

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.

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!
