We shipped our household goods from Seattle to Thailand without a hitch. The goods were beautifully packed and arrived without damage and were delivered inside our new home room by room. I highly recommend Tom for any international shipping. UPDATE: Since we had a reasonably good experience with Tom, we had no trouble recommending him to our friends and he offered $100 for every new account we sent him. So far we sent 4 of our friends to him which resulted in 3 container shipments to Thailand with one on hold until mid 2022 but guess what? He cannot find any of the records of my friends shipments

We chose 1-800 Shipping after comparing quotes from multiple companies for our family’s recent move from the east coast of the US to England. 1-800 Shipping was not the cheapest quote, but as in much of life, you get what you pay for, and we were not disappointed. Tom and his team provided great customer service throughout the process and were always extremely responsive. There were only two minor hiccups in the process, none of which were 1-800 Shipping’s fault: (1) we underestimated the amount of boxes and furniture we would ultimately take, but Tom provided an entirely fair revised quote

THANK YOU for your work to bring our belongings to France! The move from New York went flawlessly. It was a pleasure to work with your French partners, and the moving crew here in France did a fine job, even though the truck did not actually fit down our driveway.
We are very pleased with the professionalism apparent at every stage of our move. Merci beaucoup!

I sent my stuff from US to Greece.
That was my first experience with 1-800 Shipping and Tom Jacobs.
The cost was higher than initially calculated, and instead of 7 weeks (initial ETA) it took 12.
On the other hand my boxes were palletized well and they arrived in perfect condition.
I would recommend their services but meke sure to be present when they measure the total volume of your boxes.

We recently used Tom & the team at 1-800 Shipping to arrange our move back to the UK from the USA. We cannot speak highly enough of the service that we received from the first phone call to the last. Our precious belongs all arrived safe & well to our new home in the UK without any glitches, We were kept informed of every step of the process.
I have no problem in recommending 1-800 shipping . Thanks again - the Rudd family

STAY AWAY! Worse possible moving experience, and I've moved quite a lot.
A) They are not movers, they are brokers with a 2 person team, even though they make it seem they are a big moving company. Tom Jacob, the owner, promises a lot but fails to deliver;
B) My price ended up almost 3x higher than the initial quote, as they quote you cubic feet but don't tell you that those cubic feet relate to the total cubic footage of your boxes piled together on a pallet instead of the actual square footage of the boxes, which is highly deceiving;
C) The worst part, they promised it would take

Hands down! Had more than one overseas shipping experiences with Tom for me and my friends whom I recommended Tom to them. All of us were so happy and thankful for the great service we had, the care, the speed and the follow ups. Everything was nice and beautiful. I definitely recommend 1-800Shipping (Tom) for any one who is looking for a peace of mind service. Thanks Tom!

Tom Jacob was very efficient and extremely customer-focused. He knew his stuff on transatlantic shipping. He responded to all our issues immediately, including a refusal on our part to use a local removal company in the UK with whom we'd had a prior bad experience. The company that eventually shipped our effects from the port in the South of England to Manchester in the North of England did a superb job. In Massachusetts (from where we relocated to the UK) Tom worked with M&M Moving and Storage Co, who also performed an excellent job of packing and moving our effects from Cambridge into their storage

This company earned all my five stars and they deserve great recognition for their world-class service. I used 800shipping for over 5 years. I find them very honest, and very responsive to all my needs. I get timely responses to all my emails and I can count on them to give me accurate details and estimated times of arrival for all my shipments. The staff is always willing to help and have the knowledge to help me navigate the complex world of international shipping and moving. I highly recommend them. They never let me down and they will treat you like royalty.

I recently made the move from the US to Spain. After speaking with several companies, 1-800 Shipping seemed to me the best combination of reliable and customer service oriented. There were other companies with similar, or even slightly better, pricing, but Tom was the only one who seemed generally invested in helping us get the best price and smoothest experience. The few bumps we encountered along the way Tom was eager to help with, and he explained in detail anything unfamiliar to me. As this was my first such move, that involved a lot of explaining. When the shipment arrived, everything was

We moved to another country and it was a chaotic time for us. Tom and I-800 Shipping were the best. From the beginning phone call to the final follow through we we were picking up our pallets at customs. They were professional and very helpful. I would highly recommend them. And one last thing - we shipped 3 pallets of Kitchen, Living room and bedrooms, Artwork, Pictures and China across the Atlantic.........Not one item was damaged. Unbelievable!!
