What Sets Us Apart
Choosing an international shipping company is one of the most important decisions you will make during your move. The wrong choice can mean lost belongings, hidden charges, and months of stress. Here is what makes City Post Express different.
25+ Years of Experience
City Post Express has been shipping personal effects and household goods internationally since 1999. In that time, we have handled every type of shipment imaginable — from a few boxes of personal items to full container loads of furniture, vehicles, and specialty cargo.
Experience matters in international shipping. Routes change, regulations evolve, and unexpected situations arise. When your belongings are on a ship crossing the Atlantic, you want a company that has seen it all before.
True Door-to-Door Service
When we say door-to-door, we mean it. We pick up your belongings from your home in the United States and deliver them to your new address overseas. We handle every step — pickup, export documentation, ocean freight, customs clearance, and final delivery.
Many companies advertise door-to-door but actually deliver port-to-port, leaving you to arrange customs clearance and local delivery yourself. With City Post Express, you hand us your belongings in the US and receive them at your new home overseas.
Flat-Rate Transparent Pricing
Our pricing includes everything: pickup, ocean freight, customs clearance, and delivery. The quote we give you is the price you pay. We do not add fuel surcharges, documentation fees, handling charges, or any other surprise costs.
Too many companies lure customers with a low base price, then pile on surcharges until the final bill is double or triple the original quote. You deserve to know exactly what your move will cost before you commit.
We Handle the Whole Thing
Most people do not realise how many moving parts are involved in shipping overseas — pickup logistics, export paperwork, vessel booking, customs declarations, duty relief applications, destination clearance, and last-mile delivery. Miss one step and you are dealing with delays, storage fees, or unexpected charges.
We manage every single stage. You tell us what you are shipping and where it is going. We do the rest. One point of contact, one price, one seamless process from your front door in the US to your new home abroad.
Deep Customs Expertise
Over 20 years clearing shipments through Irish, UK, and European customs. We handle Transfer of Residence relief applications, duty exemption paperwork, and all customs documentation as standard. For most relocating clients, this means duty-free import.
Incorrect paperwork can lead to delays, inspections, and unexpected duty charges. Our expertise means your shipment clears customs smoothly — because we have done this thousands of times before.
Our Promise to You
We understand that when you ship your belongings overseas, you are not just shipping boxes. You are shipping your grandmother's china, your children's favorite books, the quilt your mother made, the photos that cannot be replaced. These are not just items — they are pieces of your life, your memories, and your identity.
Every shipment we handle — whether it is five boxes or a full 40-foot container — receives the same level of care, attention, and professionalism. Your dedicated coordinator will keep you informed at every stage, your documentation will be handled meticulously, and your belongings will be treated with the respect they deserve.
We promise to treat your belongings as if they were our own. We promise to be honest about pricing, realistic about timelines, and transparent about every aspect of your move. And we promise that when you pick up the phone, a real person who knows your name will answer.
Why It Matters Who You Ship With
Unlicensed Operators
No FMC license, no government oversight, no surety bond. If your shipment is lost or damaged, you have no legal recourse. Many disappear after taking payment.
- ✕ No federal oversight
- ✕ No financial protection
- ✕ No legal recourse
- ✕ High risk of loss or fraud
Hidden Fee Companies
Low base price to win your business, then surcharges pile on — fuel, documentation, port handling, delivery. Final bill often 2-3x the original quote.
- ⚠ Bait-and-switch pricing
- ⚠ Surprise surcharges
- ⚠ Cost doubles after booking
- ⚠ Little recourse in transit
