International Moving from Anywhere in the US
Moving internationally is an exciting but complex process. Whether you’re relocating for work, retirement, family, or adventure, finding the right moving company is crucial to ensuring a smooth, stress-free transition. Many people assume that international moving services are only available in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, or Miami, but SDC International Shipping serves customers from all 50 states—no matter where you are.
At SDC International Shipping, we specialize in helping families, individuals, and businesses move overseas from anywhere in the U.S. We offer tailored solutions to fit different move sizes, budgets, and timeframes. Whether you’re shipping a full household, a small apartment, or just a few essential belongings, we have the expertise and logistics network to make your move easy.
Nationwide International Moving Services: No Matter Where You Live
Unlike local movers that only serve specific regions, SDC International Shipping operates nationwide. We coordinate international moves from coast to coast, big cities, and rural areas alike.
If you’re moving from a major metropolitan area like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, or Houston, international shipping is more straightforward because of the proximity to major seaports and international airports. These cities offer faster processing, shorter transit times, and easier access to professional moving teams. Customers in these cities can often benefit from quicker customs clearance and lower inland transportation costs, making their move smoother and more affordable.
For those living in smaller towns or remote areas, moving internationally may seem more complicated. However, SDC International Shipping provides door-to-door pickup services, coordinating ground transport to the nearest seaport or airport. No matter where you’re located, we ensure that your belongings are safely transported to their destination without unnecessary hassle. Even if you are in a rural part of the country, we can provide solutions that work around limited infrastructure, making sure your items reach the port in the most efficient way possible.
Handling Moves of All Sizes: Small Shipments to Full Households
Not all international moves require shipping an entire household. Some individuals relocate with only essential items, while others need to transport everything from furniture to vehicles. SDC International Shipping offers customized solutions for every move size.
For full household moves, we provide full-container shipping (FCL), which allows you to move all of your belongings in one private shipping container. Our professional packing and crating services ensure that valuable or fragile items, such as antiques, artwork, or glassware, arrive safely. If necessary, we also assist with furniture disassembly and reassembly, making sure your large items are transported securely. We work closely with customers to create detailed inventory lists, ensuring nothing is overlooked and all high-value items are given extra protection.
If you’re relocating with only a few essential items, we offer shared container shipping (LCL), where your belongings share space with other shipments to reduce costs. This method is especially popular among students, professionals, and retirees who don’t require a full container but still want their belongings shipped affordably. For those who need urgent delivery, air freight is available, allowing you to receive your items within days instead of weeks. Air freight is often ideal for customers moving internationally for work, as they can have their essential items delivered to their new location quickly without waiting for sea freight.
Choosing the Best International Shipping Method
The best shipping method for your international move depends on your budget, timeline, and final destination. Sea freight is the most cost-effective option for large household moves, typically taking between 4-8 weeks depending on the route. We offer both full container load (FCL) for private shipments and less than container load (LCL) for customers looking to share a container to cut costs. This option is ideal for families and individuals who are moving large amounts of furniture, household goods, and personal effects overseas.
For those who need their belongings sooner, air freight provides a faster alternative, with delivery times ranging from a few days to two weeks. While air freight is more expensive than sea freight, it is ideal for smaller shipments, business relocations, or essential items that need to be available immediately upon arrival. If you’re moving internationally for work, air freight can ensure that you have your professional equipment, clothing, and necessary documents quickly at your disposal.
If you’re unsure which shipping method is best for your situation, our experts will guide you through the decision-making process, ensuring the most efficient and cost-effective plan for your move.
