We finally moved our personal belongings that had been in storage in Australia for just over 10 years (yes, don't ask) and shipped internationally through Grace Removals, based in Australia. Schumacher were the stateside logistics company contracted with Grace to get our stuff from the Port of LA to Arizona after its seabound journey. I found them to be very accommodating, helpful and responsive to emails. We happened to move house while waiting and I contacted them to change the delivery address and push the date back as I had originally planned to put this stuff straight into another U-Haul storage unit temporarily until we had moved house. I asked them if it was possible to hold our gear for another month and it was the same price as the U-Haul storage unit so I got them to hold it until after we closed. It made it so much easier and they delivered 2 nights ago and packed it straight into my garage - which saved me having to move it all again from our storage facility. Definitely a good plan! I would absolutely recommend them - their logistics person who I dealt with (Daisy) was responsive, quick and helpful to all my emails. The guys who delivered our belongings were very nice, very helpful and did a great job making sure everything was as it was when it was shipped - there was no damage to any boxes and nothing was missing, considering the long voyage it all took to get here. A very happy customer all round.

Before you read this, if you're considering Schumacher RUN RUN RUN! Don't even waste another calorie. Trust me, I read the reviews and thought, no way anything will happen to me... Boy was I wrong! I shipped my car to Spain and I was told it would take 6 weeks. "In fact the ship is leaving next Tuesday" they said. Wow it sounded great! I left the car with them, they told me they'll send the invoice. - After I had signed everything, every-time I called whoever was responsible was on vacation. That alone went on for months. No calls answered, no emails replied. In between when I really got angry on their answer machine, I'd get an email that my car would be leaving next week! It was always a lie. My very expensive car just sat out in the blazing sun of compton fading in color. Finally it shipped and 6 months later the car arrived. In between I was informed that I have to pay an extra few thousand dollars, because the customs stopped the container because I was sharing it with a Tesla and it's customs job to inspect all battery operated vehicles. I paid 66% of the Teslas invoice, why I don't know, I don't know why I should have paid anything. Then they tell you on the invoice it's port to port... but it's not. You're paying from Compton to Long Beach and that's it! The second it leaves LB, now you have to pay another company that they never mentioned once in the initial conversations and they're also not mentioned in the invoice anywhere. In reality it's 3 extra companies, because sharing is caring. Once the car arrived in Spain I was introduced to Daniel. Very nice guy on the outside, just little to no understanding of how to import vehicles although he does this apparently weekly, it's his job. He advised me to import the car as a tourist even though I was a resident (highly illegal), and gave me nothing but non-stop wrong advice. He also pretends he's talking to customs when the truth is not one person has ever heard of him at the customs, I called them personally multiple times. He just talks to another broker. The whole setup is nothing but chaos. He then hijacked my car and told me I couldn't have it unless I pay for his complete mess up and the 66% costs for the Tesla inspection. Now 8 months later when I go to pick up the car, they forgot to tell me one small issue. Their was a storm and the car was smashed dented and scratched practically all-over. So I couldn't move the car because the insurance had to look at it. It's been almost a year, I've heard nothing back from the insurance, I've got a tax bill from the government that I have to sort because schumachers buddy Daniel is incompetent to do anything and didn't file correcly. Still don't have a useable car. I've ready stories of people fighting them for 6 years and counting. Schumacher isn't a serious company, remember you're always only paying to the port, don't believe anything else as it's not true. Triple your quote every time, because that's probably the reality. Now I have to pay for lawyers on top of everything else, not only has my vehicle diminished in value (battery dead after 8 months, tire ripped off (they didn't care), color faded from the sun, car scratched, smashed windows and parts, no reply from their insurance, I still can't use it because of their mess up. Pure nightmare, if you read this far, trust me, save your time, go elsewhere.

Packed in Singapore: Dec 1, 24 Arrived to Las Vegas: March 18, 25 The long time frame is expected having done these types of moves before. And quite honestly, an air tag can kind of solve all my mental wonderings of "Where is my stuff and why isn't it here yet?" without having to rely too heavily on the shipping company providing me manic updates (although they did provide updates from time to time). I was satisfied with the amount provided. Belongings arrived in good condition, where unpacked by delivery crew promptly when they did finally arrive (were suppose to arrive around 7-9am window and it was post noon before they actually arrived), nothing damaged or out of place and the crew hauled our boxes away. So all in all, it was a good cargo company to work with. All good by me. read more

Used Schumacher to move our things from California to Finland. They had the middle bid of the three international movers we asked for prices. I had a pretty honest conversation with the rep about my concerns with the negative feedback about the company on the Internet (of which there are also many for the competition as well). He gave me an honest answer and some other review sites to check out which I did. In the end we did choose them and the customer service from start to finish was professional and great. The movers at both ends of the shipment were professional, nice people and fast. Everything delicate was wrapped up perfectly and it all arrived in one piece. Nothing was missing either. Customs in Finland went quickly. The final date of delivery was slightly delayed by about a week but that happens in shipping and isn't under their control. Note we did NOT move furniture nor something complicated to import (like a car). Only personal items, glassware, books, etc. - something like large 60 boxes. However I would highly recommend this business for international moves based on my data point of one. Very satisfied customer here. No complaints. read more

Schumacher handled my international shipment from Florida to London, England. The entire process starting with my initial inquiry and communication with Cedric went smoothly up to and including final arrival of my shipment. They were immediately responsive to any questions I had, knowledgeable of the international paperwork which they assisted me with, and very very professional. Frank and Cedric working the Florida side of things were great! And I was impressed with Claudia and her team handling matters for Schumacher on the London side. I am very happy and satisfied with the services of Schumacher and will definitely be referring them to friends and family! Jacqueline read more

Schumacher's of California were hired by my UK moving company to get my pallet through customs and from the local US airport to my home. Christine and Ivan coordinated with me and were good to communicate with. They, in turn, hired a local moving company who quickly dispatched my pallet of boxes. Everything happened efficiently and everything arrived as it had left the UK. I couldn't be happier. read more

THE WORST! NOT RECOMMENDED! Two individuals I worked with to have our personal items shipped, are the worst. Don't respond to communication. Ghost you. Inaccurate information. You try get answers about unnecessary charges. You can't get a hold of them. What was supposed to be a 3 month journey is turning into a 6 month journey. I would not recommend this company to anyone. TAKE YOUR MONEY AND BUSINESS TO ANOTHER COMPANY OR YOU WILL REGRET IT! read more

The absolute biggest scammers. My husband and I used Schumacher to move from Miami to Germany, and it was by far the worst decision we made during our relocation. At first, Naomi was friendly and seemed upfront about costs and logistics. But the moment we signed the contract, everything changed. Communication became vague, key decisions were made without our input, and every time we asked for clarity, whether on final square footage, marine insurance, or extra charges, we were brushed off with generic responses like, "this is the better option" or "building deliveries aren't usually more than 2 floors." We were then hit with multiple surprise charges, including one related to the floor level of our new building. But when our items were picked up in Miami, the movers had no issue collecting boxes from our 4th-floor apartment. So this sudden change in what's considered "included" felt like nothing more than a convenient excuse to tack on more fees. We tried to be understanding, but at this point, it honestly felt like a scam. We kept asking for honesty and transparency, and got neither. My husband was never told about these "additional" costs during the initial call. It felt like the bare minimum was shared upfront just to close the sale, with the rest withheld until we had no choice. Schumacher also knew our destination well in advance, and yet didn't flag any of these supposed delivery limitations when we gave them our updated address. That kind of oversight (or intentional withholding) shows a clear lack of professionalism and accountability. To top it off, several of our boxes arrived in disgusting condition, and five items were broken and damaged so bad, it didn't even feel worth filing a claim. That's how little faith we had in the process by the end. We've since gone back and read the reviews and now, sadly, everything makes sense. We put our trust, belongings, and money in a company that clearly doesn't value integrity, customer service, or basic respect. Avoid Schumacher at all costs. This experience was not only expensive but emotionally draining, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Schumacher Cargo and fully recommend their services. They were very reasonably/competitively priced and the service they offer is top notch. A true door to door service, they bring all of their own supplies and box/wrap everything up for you, which was a huge bonus for us. The guys who packed/unpacked our belongings were very professional, punctual, trustworthy and kind. We were very impressed with them (and grateful)! This was my first international move (San Diego to Brisbane), we worked with Nathan and Kevin/Adriana and cannot say enough good things about them. I was really happy with their organization and communication. They were very honest and responsive and guided us through the entire process. We were also very pleased with their sister company OSS World Wide Movers who received and delivered our belongings to us at our new home. Everything arrived unscathed and accounted for and we are very grateful for their service. Highly recommend! read more

US to Portugal move. The packers on the US end made short work of packing up our belongings. Everything was packed carefully and professionally. The US crew they sent was very easy to work with. The estimator and project manager were professional and knowledgeable about the required customs documents. Glad we bought insurance even though we didn´t use it. On the EU side, the receiving agents let us know when the shipment arrived. It took 5~6 weeks after the container arrived to be delivered. We don´t live near an urban center, so perhaps that could be a factor. During that time, it would have been nice to get more updates, but they did prepare us for potential delays. They sent a 4 man crew to do the offloading into the house. They were great to work with and very accommodating. Expect delays. No one I know who has done a US to EU household shipment gets their stuff "on time" given the complexities, multiple agencies involved, and EU bureaucracy. In the end, I was glad we brought our stuff. It is time-consuming to give away or sell your belongings on the US side, and would have been more expensive and wasteful to rebuy the same stuff in the EU. All in all, I´d say it went better than I expected and glad to have been working with professionals. read more

Schumacher Cargo Logistics has failed to ship my vehicle on the promised shipped date already three times. Originally promised on 6/30, then 7/24 now 8/11. Even the 6/30 ship date was already one month after taking possession of my vehicle on 5/24. There is no way for me to take my vehicle back and change forwarder. read more

I am going to keep it short.... STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. they straight up robbed us and blamed the South America port. In Los Angeles Schumacher told us we had an overflow of items. they kept our items for 5-6 weeks in there warehouse where they took our belongings, changed boxes, mixed items and never told us about any of this. when we received our items at our final destination everything was sealed with the company's tape so ALL the mishandled was taken place in LA. where a 75" tv was placed they changed the box to a 20x20" and kept our tv. and several other items. seriously save the headaches and stay away. I am sure you can find another cargo company read more

I contacted a few logistics companies to ship my car from France to California. The person who replied from Schumacher was pleasant and had the title of COO, I thought I was in good hands. I cannot describe how DISAPPOINTED I am with this company. I agreed to the quote on November 27th to arrange for pick up, the car was picked up on December 10th with two days to get to the port, I was told the container would be a 40 foot shared container and would ship within 2-3 weeks (three weeks would be January 2nd). I routinely asked for updates, and could not get a concise date it would ship, as we got closer to the end of December, I was told that if I want the car to ship sooner, I could pay an additional $2500 for a 20 foot container and that would ship on or around January 4th, already days after the original outside window date/cost. Of course I asked when the shared container would ship at our agreed upon price and was told that we do not have that information at this time. So would my car still be there now if I didn't pay the $2500 for the 20 foot container ? Sitting at the Schumacher holding area in Rotterdam for a month. I agreed to pay the $2500 EXTORTION money so I could get my car. I even sent a note to the president of the company who never replied. I got an invoice that was higher than the agreed to price, so of course we had to go back and get it revised, you cannot trust anything will go as planned. I was told at one point that everything I was told was factual, clearly it wasn't when it came to dates, time or in this case cost. Just before New Years, the shipper reached out to the previous owner to have more papers signed, he was not happy at all, in fact he assumed the car was in California already since it has been over a month since it left his house. He begrudgingly signed the documents. SO we had the papers signed, the car was there and I tried to pay the freight charge so it would ship when promised, I paid within an hour of getting the final invoice including the extortion payment, and only then found out the ship wasn't leaving until January 8th, nearly four weeks after the car arrived at their port location, ONLY because I agreed to the additional $2500 extortion amount.The 8th wound up as the 9th, then the 10th, and then the late in the day on the 11th. The original ship date was January 2nd for the 40 foot container. With he EXTRA $2500 made it over four weeks. I know they cannot control when a ship leaves, but it compounded the misery.... A few weeks before the ship was to dock in Los Angeles, I asked for an updated accounting of the taxes and duties due from me when it lands, previously I had an estimate that valued the car incorrectly, all I wanted was an updated estimate, more than 20 emails and a phone call later, I got what I requested. It was a VERY simple request I thought. Especially since the person I was dealing with is the company COO. A week before the shipment was to be delivered, I reached out to the COO and Car shipping supervisor and asked why the tracking information they provided hasn't updated in over a week. I was told the next day that it shows that the ship is scheduled to dock in the specified date. I asked how do we know if the information is still correct since it is not updating. I found the ship on a different website than they provided, it is showing the ship is at anchor after leaving the Panama Canal for 4 days, of course, the information I found on different websites was more accurate than what I was getting from Schumacher employees, the shipment is delayed again, I KNOW that they are not responsible for what happens on the ship, but being able to report on it should be their job. I am sure I have become a pain in their ass, but if they just communicated, I wouldn't have been. The car was finally released to me on February 26th, 90 days after agreeing to ship with this company. The car transport supervisor routinely doesn't answer direct questions without prodding . I keep all of the over 100 emails as proof of my comments above, it has been a very disconcerting experience and I do NOT recommend. This is not the first car Ive imported from Europe, the first experience was 40 days from the time the shipper was called until the boat arrived in Los Angeles, that was in 2023. 90 days may be acceptable to some people, but the lack of concise communication is a huge concern. If they would have provided updates with answers to future steps, most of this could have been avoided. read more

If you want to have a headache and lots of stress, hire this company. They are good until you make de deposit. After that, they stop responding and in every occasion, remind you that you can get other service if you pay more money. I hire them for a very small move from USA to Europe. Every single thing went wrong. Because I had such small shipment, I decided not to pay insurance because they lied and told me that in the last 2 years no claims were made. When the delivery came to my house, my expensive belongings were wrapped on paper that was all tear out. Broken glass everywhere, packing was done just as if they wanted to make sure I regretted not getting insurance. Shipment was delays and I ended up having to pay import taxes. Daniel, always found a way to pass the blame on someone or something else. And of course, the fault was mine because of whatever reason. At the end, the fault was mine, I read the reviews and raised concerns about how bad they were but Daniel told me they are just from people who can't be satisfied, and still I hired them. Stay away of this company and do yourself a favor. They are not cheap but surely a very expensive headache read more

From start to finish, Schumacher did an amazing job from sales rep Tami Grant, to Hayward warehouse manager Barry Ryan & his crew, they were knowledgeable gracious professionals. And when we unwrapped everything, we were impressed by the quality of the packaging & protection of our furniture. We called it "Schumacher corners" because it was so hard to talk the wrapping off the items. Once our furnishings arrived in Rotterdam, Marieke Janssen from Import Global Moving & Shipping took over on this side of the pond. She answered every email, quickly, and with kindness, a true professional. Her team that unloaded our furnishings at our home were stellar! Schumacher had great partners overseas. I can't C thank everyone involved enough! read more

My shipping company in the UK made arrangements with this company to deliver. There is a 3 day window where it's included in the price I already paid but they won't deliver. So now they're charging me for each day after that window. Unfair since I'm available 2 out of the 3 days within the delivery block. Dealing with the company, employees gives me a pit in my stomach. Nobody is willing to actually talk to you. If given the choice I wouldn't choose this company for any transportation needs. They can hold my shipment "hostage" and I have to pay regardless if its fair. Its two weeks overdue (which I understand isn't their fault) but charging ME for this is! read more

Terrible Company to work with. If there were a ZERO rating, this company would truly deserve it. I normally read reviews before making a decision but was caught up in the expectation this company could collect our personal possessions from our US home and ship them to our new home in less than 12 weeks. The time frame promised by Schumacher helped determine what items we would ship and influenced our decision not to 'fly' them over. Shipping overland saved us $2,000 ... which we eventually had to spend on clothing and other items as we waited and waited and waited for our items. In short, we saved no money! I have since read the reviews and the majority are terrible (with the exception of Schumacher's own web site ... what a surprise). I would not recommend Schumacher Cargo for 'personal' shipping. Just don't do it. Look elsewhere, consider the reviews and spend more money if you have too. It took 6 months for our personal items to be shipped from the US to New Zealand. The sales person basically lied to us from the get-go and even told us that if we could have everything ready in less than a week that it could be quicker. When I checked in after hearing nothing for 9 weeks I was told that our items were still in the US. The communication was non existent. If I did not ask for updates I would not receive any information or updates. On a positive note, the local delivery company and team in New Zealand (Conroy Removals) were fantastic. They were proactive with their communications and kept us updated. read more

Schumacher is the worst logistics company I have ever been involved with in 35 years of government service. Unresponsive to emails, will not answer the phone or return messages upon request. My shipment was sold to them as underwriters and it went to sh1t as soon as they laid their hands on it. I was charged an extra $537 for storage when they couldn't move it in time, which I grudgingly paid- if not I would have lost everything I own. Thanks for nothing you criminal ba$tard$. The crew that eventually did deliver my kit was polite and efficient, yet 4.5 hours late and obviously overworked. I would give Schumacher no stars if I could. The worst. And pi$$ on Gosselin too for selling my account to them with no notice to me whatsoever. Postscript- In fairness, nothing was broken or missing, so there is that. Half star. read more

Recently shipped lots of household goods/furniture from USA to Australia and the process was seamless from start to finish and took a lot of the stress away. Kimberly, and Mark were always extremely responsive with all my questions and concerns and all my things were packed and organized so so well by the team. Didn't take very long to arrive to Australian (2-3 months), and everything was in great condition upon arrival. The team on this end also (Palmers Relocations) were great. I'd read lots of negative reviews prior to this but couldn't have asked for a better experience during a difficult time. Seemed a little on the pricier side compared to other quoted initially, but they take care of EVERYTHING and do a great job so worth it. Thank you! read more

I recently shipped household goods (furniture, artwork, China) from New York to Tuscany, using Schumacher Cargo. They were professional and responsive from beginning to end, and the pricing was very competitive. The initial move team in the US was great, and they packed everything with great care. On the other end, in Italy, the delivery was right on time and the crew unpacked and placed the goods in my home, quickly and safely. Their customs broker in Europe was very professional and communicative along the way. I highly recommend Cedric Drocourt and his team at Schumacher!!!!! read more

In March 2022 we hired Schumacher Cargo Logistic company to relocate from USA to Spain. As part of a relocation from the USA to Spain, we requested and accepted a quotation from Schumacher to transport our household goods and Vehicle from the USA to Spain in a sole 40ft container. While the container was in transit, it came to our attention, via the receiving logistics company, that our Vehicle was not present on the packing list or bill of lading. The receiving company (contracted by Schumacher directly) or ourselves were unable to get hold of anybody at Schumacher to provide support for the missing property. After multiple attempts via phone and email, we finally got someone in their operations team to acknowledge that there was an issue in their operations department and that the vehicle was not shipped with the rest of our household goods as quoted and paid for in the contract. We then have to chase Schumacher multiple times, trying to get hold of them by phone, email, etc. every attempt to communicate with them failed. After 3 weeks someone finally replied and let us know that our car is still in the warehouse in the USA, we have been waiting for the car 5 months already. We have then requested Schumacher to refund us for the money that we paid to ship the car and release the car, as we don't want to use them to ship the car to Spain anymore. They refused to do so, so the only option we have is to ship the car with them. They gave us the container number for the car back in June, I'm writing this review in September and still haven't heard back from them, they are not answering the phones, they are not replying to our emails, at this point we don't know where our car is and we are ready to sue them. If anyone reading this would like to join us and sue them as a group please contact me. read more

Thank you for taking the time to outline the details of your shipment…
This review is to give a big thank you to Mark Neville and Kimberly Ortiz of Schumacher. They were both incredibly prompt in responding to my emails. I had a moment of panic when I thought I left my wallet in a box the movers packed up, and Kimberly was INCREDIBLE and responsive through the process of making sure they had the boxes checked before they left the city. I cannot thank her enough for the patience and professionalism she showed. I was very skeptical about all moving companies because reviews are all over the place, but I can say now with confidence that I was impressed by Kimberly's service. read more

Update - Thanks for the follow up. I did contact my shipper as recommended. I have in writing that we do not owe a long carry fee from them and written correspondence where they informed Schumacher it should not be charged. Note, the overcharge for container volume was also never credited despite agreement from Schumacher and proof submitted of the volume. Attached is a copy (with names redacted) read more

Update 8 April 2019: Still no repayment or repairs for the damages to my house. No furniture repaired. No payment on the insurance claim. No repayment for services not provided. We are now 15.5 weeks since delivery. On Mar 20, 2019, at 9:55 PM, Martin Baker Dear Mr. R. I have been advised by our lawyers not to have further communication with you directly. Please be advised, this will be my final message to you. Kind Regards, Martin Baker ‑ CEO/President, Schumacher Cargo Logistics, Inc.

I have done many moves in my life both nationally and internationally. International moves are stressful. When things go wrong it adds to the stress. When things go catastrophically wrong, as in this case, a good moving company can help to resolve the issue and make things right. Martin, I trust you will live up to your reputation and make good on the items above. All the best, Dennis Update 8 March 2019 I spoke with Martin Baker CEO of Schumacher at his request this evening to settle the claim. Unfortunately Mr. Baker has no interest in settling the claim. He refused to repair the damages to our home. We got an estimate for repairs after his two handyman said it was too much damage. He said our estimate was too high. I said I am happy to have your people do the repairs as we are not looking for money, but he refused. He offered to pay less than .60 cents on the dollar for the repairs and would not refund any money towards the services he failed to provide and failed to provide professionally. Being that the container cost was only $1,800 of the $24,000 move, Mr Baker was paid over $22,000 for packing boxes and dropping off at port, and then picking them up at port and delivering them. Unfortunately this logistics portion of the move was a complete failure. Look elsewhere. Schumacher are grossly over paid and grossly undeliver. Not only that they damage everything paling the way - both houses and over 25% of the goods Update 25 February 2019 I spoke with the CEO of Schumacher Friday evening and verbally agreed to settle the house damages portion of my claim. Upon receiving the settlement agreement, the CEO changed the agreement to include discharging Schumacher's liability for services not provided/provided poorly, liability for damaged goods (insurance claim in progress so this can't be legally discharged until insurance claim is made good) as well as the house damages. I tried over several emails to get the settlement agreement to align with our agreed discussions for house damag. Unfortunately Schumacher insisted on adding items to the agreement that we in fact never agreed. Schumacher have a duty to repair my house, which they refuse. They also refuse to tell me who their insurance carrier is to get it fixed. We are now in week 10 since the damage occurred. Completely unnecessary. He says it's the subcontractors and he needs to wait for them to resolve it. In fairness, I have no contract with them. I have over $60,000 in losses and dozens of excuses from Schumacher. I must say they are good at quick at BBB and Yelp responses. Unfortunately my emails, phone calls and voicemails have all lacked responses over over a week now. Be careful these lads are sleazy! Be careful. Update 22 February 2019: Schumacher are now telling me to claim the damage to my house they caused to my personal home insurance policy because the damage is too expensive! We still have not been reimbursed for services not provided and our insurance claim. Is still unpaid 9 wee Update 13 Feb 2019: Schumacher have still not refunded the monies promised for pet charges and no refund on services not provided, Dublin house has seems it's second handy many come out yesterday. He stated there was way too much damage and that Schumacher needed to hire a professional painter for at least a week to do the work. Now in the 8th week of the claim and the furniture restorers have been dispatched for 8 of 60+ items. Still no resolution to the other items despite having a full cover policy. Schumacher still claim to be working with me on all the above, but have done nothing towards resolving the above other than telling me I need to go off and arrange it all. Wonder what I paid them $24,000 read more

If you can choose another company to ship your goods. We received a quote for about $2800 to ship our goods from US to NZ. They quoted a deliver date in NZ of late November. They picked up our items on July 6th. The guys who came to pack were wonderful, although said they were not quite prepared for how heavy some items were. Schumacher told us that the actual cost would be tallied once items were received at the warehouse, crated, and packed for shipping. We emailed multiple times asking for a final number for payment. Mind you we paid $2500 cash deposit before they came to get our stuff. Weeks went by and no word on the final cost. They send us insurance documents to fill out and we estimated our items to be around 10K in value. A week or so after filling out insurance paper work we get the final quote that our stuff was going to cost over 10K to ship and that it was already in a container to be shipped out the next day, August 19th. The invoice said we had to pay over 8K or there would be additional fees etc. At this point we had no choice. All of our stuff was in their custody and we felt stuck. We paid the invoice. A month later we received a communication that our shipment had been flagged by customs and we had to pay to have the ocean container moved and inspected. They told us our items were shipping a full month before this! We tried to ask for verification from customs or some sort of document proving that customs was charging but did not receive any proof. Our items were not actually shipped out of the US until October. We were advised the arrival date would now be estimated at 11/23. The delays were At this time-our items have just arrived in NZ. And we had to pay the additional $1600 for a "customs" before they would release our items for delivery. If I had known the cost would be over 4x the quote I would have not shipped anything and bought new stuff when I arrived for less money. Disgusting way to do business. I guess we will see how our stuff even arrives. read more

It's easier for a pig, with written horse on its back, to win the Kentucky Derby than for Schumacher Cargo to provide a decent service. BEWARE of this company and if you don't read reviews, as I used to, just take a look at the pics. I hope that what follows can help others to get a better service, avoiding mistakes ... and why not? maybe SCL. My move was from San Francisco, California to Italy. 1. Despite making clear to Mr. N*** my concerns about "hidden costs", an extra € 600 was pulled out of the hat for a delivery shuttle because the truck could not get to the final destination. But hey! it was written in the paper that if shuttle was needed it was not included in the initial cost: whether you need it or not just find it out by yourself ... or consider moving to a different moving company! I am sure I am not the only one to have been "surprised". 2. Nobody showed up at the first date for shipping cost estimation. 3. Packing (pics). I was charged for 208 cft (at the rate of 15.75 $/cft). By the time the shipment reached London the volume shrank to 170 cft (red circles): a miraculous volume shrinkage called "the London's 'dry' weather effect". 23% volume inflation (almost an extra quarter of the real volume!) was called a mistake. I am wondering how many cft are "mistakenly inflated" every shipment! BEWARE! "To think evil is a sin but it often hits the mark!" and the 'mistaken volume fable' could have been credible if a. I did not have to solicit an answer from SCL-despite they had been informed by Britannia about the "mistake"; b. there was a heartily apology from them; c. boxes had been filled properly (see pics). The cost of the shipment goes by the volume (half empty boxes=more boxes=more volume=higher cost) or filled with useless items (packing paper rolls, packing material and even a bag of trash). My 2 cents: since I packed about a third of the shipment (high density packing=small volume but heavy weight), volume was likely "corrected" accordingly. According to them returning MY money was "a reasonable resolution"! Not a due action! Packing was so poor that the Britannia delivery cru was embarrassed and wrote "Item badly packed at origin" (pics). A vintage typewriter and the vintage bicycle were damaged, packing paper ripped, boxes crushed, suitcases broken, books damaged. I received this answer after months: "Looking at the photos you send I cannot offer any explanation that would satisfy your question". Rrreally? ... and continued ... "During the shipping process items can be damaged and whilst we do the utmost to prevent this, it can happen and for which reason we do offer insurance coverage if required." Oh sure! the insurance coverage (see next)! ... 4. They offer two options, an itemized coverage and a total loss protection. Before signing I asked for advice about the best option and booked the latter accordingly (I hope Ms. O*** doesn't mind if I forgot to thank her for her 'priceless' help). Despite in the paperwork is stated "Coverage is to apply from such time as the property enters the custody of the mover until unpacking is completed at destination residence, including course of due transit ..." and "With this insurance protection your belongings will be insured against "All Risk" of physical loss or damage from any external causes", if you purchase total loss coverage they can beat and damage your stuff and you don't have any right to compensation (or maybe the cause was internal!!!). Here is their answer: As regards to the insurance tis was advised at time of booking with a reasonable explanation of the policies, along with links to additional information ayt our website. "Take reasonable CARE" about this!! Conclusions: if you have the time to pack yourself and pay as if they did it, debug insurance coverage stuffs from their website, find out by yourself if the door-to-door service is really to your door or if additional shuttle costs need to be covered and (why not!) pull the horse-sleigh by yourself, well they are the right moving company! To Mr. Damien S.: while waiting to read your comments let me respond first: 1. Yes, I just received my reasonable refund; 2. boxes were filled the way you see in the photos and not altered (I am sure you do not need my help to look bad! --everything is still in storage in original numbered boxes and anyone can check for volume and weigh); 3. I am wondering how many times these kind of "miracolous inflations" go unexposed. read more

The following statement is my review of Schumacher Cargo Logistics: In mid-March if 2018, I submitted an RFQ to Schumacher via their website to ship our household goods from Olympia, WA to Trondheim, Norway. My family did not have a definitive timeframe, just that my husband had to report to his new job in August. The next day we received both a phone call, and an email, from a Schumacher Cargo Logistics sales representative by the name of Nathan Stowell. Nathan was extremely helpful by explaining the complete process of shipping our household overseas from start to finish, and then gave me a rough estimate of cost to ship a 20ft shipping container based on the information I provided. As you can imagine, shipping anything overseas--be it a 20x20x20 fiberboard box or a 20 foot shipping container--is not cheap . So when dealing with forking out that kind of money, I always do due diligence by shopping around to make sure I am getting the best deal. Once again, Nathan was very helpful in letting me know that while comparing prices, I needed to make sure that the price I was quoted also included Terminal Handling Costs (THC). All too often, Schumacher competitors tend to omit the THC from their quotes. We ended our call with him letting me know that he would be happy to help answer any questions I may have regardless if I choose to ship with Schumacher or not. As our move to Norway began to take shape, I contacted Nathan in mid April to ask if it would be possible for Schumacher to pack and move my family's belongings from a storage unit. Once again, Nathan said this would not be a problem, but depending on the storage unit layout, and other factors (i.e. accessibility, etc) that there may be additional accrued costs associated with our shipment. The plan that we put into place was that as soon as possible, after arriving in Norway, and purchasing or renting a new home, I would contact Nathan and give him the go-ahead to arrange for packing and loading up my household goods with my best friend in attendance to help ensure things went smoothly and to answer any questions/give direction, as needed. In early October I contacted Nathan to let him know that I was ready to have our items shipped. Nathan sent instructions and after Schumacher received payment in full, I was contacted by another Schumacher representative by the name of Valerio Martelli, who was also pivotal in the relocation my household, by working with me, remotely, and my best friend, locally, and on October 12, Schumacher Cargo Logistics packed and loaded my worldly possessions into a 20 foot shipping container. I received a tracking number, information on the shipping route my container will travel, and an estimated date of delivery (approximately 8 weeks later). From the Port of Tacoma, down the west coast, through the Panama Canal, across the Atlantic, a stop in Hamburg, Germany to Oslo, Norway where it entered the country of Norway. After clearing customs, Schumacher contracted with a local company to then drive the container from Oslo to Trondheim and in the afternoon of December 15, my family and I were reunited with our prized possessions. If you have made it this far in reading this review, I am impressed. But what is even more impressive was the fact that only three things suffered damage in the move: One was an IKEA water tumbler, one was a plate that I picked up years ago from a yard sale, and an Ethan Allen lampshade that had damage to the inside lining. That's it. Everything made it here in one piece and is accounted for. AMAZING! In this day and age where consumers are no longer loyal customers and with companies, it seems like it's a race to the bottom when it comes to providing excellent customer service; I feel like I totally lucked out in selecting Schumacher Cargo Logistics. But luck had nothing to do with it. Rather, it came down to a company (Schumacher Cargo Logistics) that quite simply excel at what they do best: Shipping and relocation, and it is my absolute honor to post this glowing review of my experience with Schumacher Cargo Logistics. I will definitely use Schumacher again when returning to live in the States. Needless to say, if you are in need of logistics company to relocate your household goods CONUS or OCONUS, I highly recommend Schumacher Cargo Logistics. Sincerely, Erin S.

I recently bought an antique 1961 Car through Dk Classic Cars (April 2018). I dealt with Jesper who was very responsive to my emails and wonderful to deal with. I can not rate the quality of my car yet as I still have not received it due to an issue with the shipping company Dk Classic Cars set me up with to ship the car to Canada. They use Schumacher Cargo Logistics, Inc. as a shipping company to ship their cars around the world at the expense of the buyer. The representative i've been dealing with at DK Classic Cars (Jesper) introduced me in email to the person at Schumacher Cargo Logistics that will be arranging the shipment (Filip).I had the car shipped with Schumacher Cargo from Denmark to Halifax Canada. I was dealing with Filip however somewhere along the way his email "got hacked" and I only received the "quote" that I had to sign and send back. I never received the actual invoice at this point. I was given banking information to send a wire transfer to - I believed this was correct as I had no problems purchasing the car though DK Classic Cars using a wire transfer that was listed in a different name than "Dk Classic Cars" so I figured this was normal. I sent the payment to the information I was given. I got a confirmation that payment was received by filips email address (which he has since contacted me on). When my car arrived in Halifax I get an email with an invoice (first time I ever seen this invoice) I was extremely confused so I emailed Filip asking why I was required to pay for shipping again. He responded saying payment wasn't received I went back and sent him our original email communication at that point he claims he doesn't make spelling mistakes. I called to clarify what was going on I said to Filip on the phone that this seems like an inside job and that he set this up - a crook situation he then responded to me saying "his company doesn't give a shit about me". I'm sorry but a company should care about their clients if they don't care about their clients they will not have a repeat customer. I called the transfer company and they looked into the information I used for a transfer I set the name as "Schumacher Cargo Logistics" instead of the name I was given. They emailed me back a few days later saying nothing can be done and the transfer is unable to be recalled due to the fact this doesn't appear to be a fraud account. My car is currently sitting outside at the Halifax port area being withheld in the sun from me collecting a daily port storage fee until Schumacher receives the shipping payment. I was told in the beginning the car would not be shipped until 50% of payment was received, I got an email stating the car was shipped so if the payment (I sent 100% of it) wasn't received why was the car shipped? I have since been in contact with the bank the money was deposited to and they said to try a recall again, we requested a recall however I recently got work that the account they are trying to recall from has NSF so the recall is unable to be completed. As far as I am concerned this should be taken care of by Schumacher and DK Classic Cars and my car should be released and the shipping company should be responsible for the port fees collecting on my car daily. This isn't my fault that their companies email "got hacked" and the same email has since been corresponding with me - seems a bit funny. The money was sent to the information I was given by a Schumacher employee via their email address. I have proof of payment for this transfer along with the emails I have been in contact with both local police and a lawyer and there's nothing that can currently be done at this time. I would not recommend using this company until their shippers get their ducks in a line and figure out what customer service is! This has been nothing but a nightmare VERY DISAPPOINTED! read more

We had a great experience with Schumacher. In spring of 2022 we moved from Huntington Beach to a small town in southwest France. We did not move any furniture, just art, tools, clothes, a couple of looms, a surfboard, golf clubs and dishes. A total of 44 boxes. It cost around $4500 for everything and it went really well. The folks in the office around Los Angeles were always responsive and gave us a remote estimate based on the number of rooms, etc., that we planned to move. I can't remember the exact cost per cubic foot or weight, but the final cost was almost exactly what they estimated. We scheduled the pick up a few weeks ahead of time, and they showed up with a very efficient crew and a massive roll of packing material. Although I think they may have over-wrapped some things, resulting in several trips to the dump in France, on the whole they did a good job. Once our stuff was in their hands, it did take six months to get to our place, but we kind of expected that, it being a smallish load, maybe two pallets worth of stuff. They kept us informed of where it was at all times. Once it was on a ship, they transferred the responsibility to a Dutch firm in Rotterdam, who kept us informed of the ship name and number, so we could see where it was on the ship tracker site. Once it arrived in Rotterdam they sent us some forms to fill out for customs. No big deal, all PDFs that were easy to print and scan and send back. A couple weeks after that, they called and said "we'll be there next Wednesday." As promised, on Wednesday around noon they showed up in a big van that pulled right up to our front door. A couple of friendly Dutch gentlemen speaking perfect English carried everything in, put it in the empty living room, and turned around to drive back to Rotterdam. The driver said the French authorities had stopped them en route and opened a couple of boxes to verify no drugs or new items subject to import tax, but it was not a problem. There were no hidden charges, no BS about customs. Other than it taking so long, we were completely satisfied with their service. R Blair in Carresse-Cassaber read more

I contracted and paid Schumacher Cargo Logistics, Inc. $5,835.00 to transport my Pontiac GTO from Baumholder, Germany, to Houston, Texas, during a military permanent change of station move. It was collected on May 15th,2024, and it arrived at the destination port/terminal in New York on July 5th, 2024. Despite this, it has still not been delivered to its final destination in Texas. The company representatives actively duck my calls/emails. The tracking information on the company's client portal shows that my GTO cleared customs on July 30th, 2024, and that it was delivered to their warehouse on July 31st, 2024. I received an invoice on July 30th, 2024, for Duty in the amount of $23.75 and Bond for the amount of $95.00. I promptly paid the invoice. I contacted the company after hearing nothing further, and inquired as to why my shipment continued to be delayed. I received an email on August 19th, 2024 from a company representative claiming "shipment has been unloaded at our warehouse but there are additional cost incur due to the hold I should have final amounts next couple days". I inquired again, and was told that the info would be provided "by the end of the week". This happened numerous times, without results. I then received an invoice on September 4th, 2024, for an administration fee of $75.00 and demurrage charges amounting to $1,245.75. These charges were issued 36 days after the shipment had cleared customs. I question why these fees were delayed for over a month, and also why the administration fee is $75.00 when the company's own website lists the applicable fee for a shared container shipment as $55.00. As of September 4th, 2024, 112 days have passed since the vehicle's collection. Given these issues, Schumacher Cargo Logistics has failed to provide the services promised in a timely and transparent manner. These delays and additional charges have caused significant frustration and financial burden, during an already expensive international move. read more

Allow me to add one more voice to the chorus of horrible experiences with this company. Like the other reviews, they were totally uncommunicative through the entire process. At one point we were told we would be charged extra to have it shipped to our new home because it was a different address than they had been given. I emailed our Schumacher agent copies of the original invoice which clearly showed our address as being the final destination and asked that she write back and confirm that she received an email. After a week of not hearing anything, I called her to see if she had received my email. She said she had but she was not going to write me back because there was nothing to say. She was rude on the phone and spoke over me. Finally, I got a hold of the freight cashier who confirmed that we should not have been charged extra. Then we were told that we owed an extra $585 because our goods had been inspected in customs and we would not receive our shipment until we paid that money. There were no documents to verify that the shipment was sent to customs inspection and no way for us to see how the figure was arrived at. I emailed the freight cashier asking for these documents and have not heard back from her after more than two weeks. Furthermore, when we finally received our goods, all of the boxes were sealed and showed no signs of having been inspected. After paying our final invoice, we were told we would have the shippers contact us to arrange a delivery date within a few days. That process took closer to two weeks and we were given just 48 hours advance notice of a delivery between Friday and Sunday. I can't say enough about how bad our experience with this company has been. Nearly every other reviewer on Yelp has had a similar experience. Stay away! read more

They make extra money from the US Custom Exams. Please be careful with the excessive fees that Schumacher Cargo bills you. Emlie Matos,the Import Coordinator and Ruth Ortiz, the Import Freight Cashier made false caculation on the charges on Custom Exams. My container from UK to US were shared by 23 people. The cost on US Custom Exams is bleow: 1st attachment- Tailgate exam $250.00. Tailgate exams is when US Customs opens your container and inspects inside. 2nd attachment- X-ray exam 250.00. X-ray exam is self-explanatory. X-ray machine used to inspect. 3rd attachment. CEX (contraband examination $295.00) CCP (customs clearance at port $25.00) Total fees for container on Exams: $820 The total volum of 23 people in my container is 2400 Cft. Mine is 440 Cft. It is not 490 CFT. All the charges are based on volume. My items takes 18% volum of the container My Charge on Exams: $820 x 18%=$148 Invoice# 156938: $43.76 (Demurrage) Total Fees: $148+$43.76=$191.76 But I was billed $299.59. Invoice# 156637: $255.83 (Exams) Invoice# 156938: $43.76 (Demurrage) Total amount due: $299.59 Emile and Ruth said my stuffs took majority space of the container. I contacted the UK cargo company who did the shipping. In fact, mine only took 18% of the contrainer. It is unfair to demand me to pay for the most of US Custom Exams fees. Emlie Matos and Ruth Ortiz are not willing to correct their wrong caculation, intead they threaten me to start storage charge if I dont pay for what they want. It is horrendous and stressful expenrience to deal with them. Could Business Manager here help me to resolve this issues ASAP. My shipping is still hold at your storage.

RELOCATION TO SOUTH OF SPAIN: We used to Schumacher to relocate us from Los Angeles to Marbella, Spain. Initially in LA I did 3 quotes. Schumacher sales person was 2nd who came to home to check my furnitures. This was the point were I started to TRUST this company. They were so professional with packing. e.g our 2 Tempur mattresses was vacuum packed that moisture could not get in. They arrived safe and sound to Spain. Then all classware was single packed that classes would not break..and they did not. To me Most awarding was to see dedicated 8 person packing team and how they count and named every single item. After that they send PDF list to my email. I did even know I had so much stuff. What ever questions I had during the 2 months move Schumacher personal replied my email right away. Then I decided to send vehicle over with different container, Schumacher crew was so flexible with terms and they understood my pain with time table etc what it means to move overseas. At the other end their International partner was extremely good with customer service as well. I was notified with several emails. I was even able to postpone arrival date more than 2 weeks. What a flexibility. So this are my main points why I would not consider other companies than Schumacher for my next move. THANK YOU GUYS, YOU REALLY ROCK !! All the best, TAP H. read more

I had some large items which needed to be freighted from the USA to the Middle East. Not being from the States and not knowing any US freight forwarders, it was a quick internet search, an email, and then a massive hope that things would go well. There was a warm feeling straight away as the response from Schumacher was immediate and to the point. My enquiry was distributed to the relevant dept and person, and we then had a constant and productive communication. My equipment arrived, and I changed from sea freight to air freight. That didn't phase Schumacher. They immediately switched things around, and then once all sorted, the box was on a flight to Dubai. There was an extra step which was actually more important than all so far - the handling of the freight in Dubai. Schumacher stepped in again though, put me in contact with a local agent here, and all continued to run smooth! Schumacher did all the behind-the-scenes liaison such that all I had to do was nominate the delivery address within Dubai and provide my residency documentation. To say that this freight task was seamless and painless is an understatement. And putting my money where my mouth is, I have another US-to-Dubai shipment on the horizon - using Schumacher is the only company that I'll be contacting! read more

My experience with Schumacher Cargo Logistics was wonderful. They explained clearly to me how packing and shipping were going to take place and everything went fine and in accordance with their description. It took a long time (2.5 months) for my shipment to travel from Texas to Italy because it was a relatively small one (ca. 20 boxes), but this was part of the deal and the reason why I was able to take advantage of their convenient rate for a shipment within 100 CFU and spend less money than paying for a 'regular' cargo on my own. In any case the price was worth the service. Schumacher Cargo Logistics staff was prompt not only in answering my questions but also in dealing with small glitches along the way. They allowed me to deliver some additional boxes to their warehouse after the main shipment was already there and reassemble it in order not to exceed the 100 CFU we agreed upon (and the related price). They helped me significantly with the paperwork required by European customs. They also covered some additional fees their European associated partner claimed after the shipment arrived in Rotterdam. In conclusion, I strongly recommend their services to anyone moving from US to Europe. read more

I have used Schumacher Cargo Logistics for International sea freight from L.A and Brunswick, Georgia on several occasions over the past 5 years to ship a boat, three caravans 30ft+ and two 40 ft containers which they packed in their Gardena yard in California. All items have arrived safe and sound with no damage, and the level of service has been great. On my last trip to the US I stopped in to Gardena and organised the a few jobs in their yard, it was great to meet all the guys and girls and they were super friendly and helpful,especially to my 5 year old son who they made a big fuss of, he was in his element in the yard. I am on my third sales rep and now deal directly with Filip Michelet in the Gardena CA branch, he is absolutely fantastic to deal with and he really takes customer service to a new level. I am not very experienced in shipping and importing but he helps me through and has been amazingly patient. We now do business on the phone and emails and I am looking at another Travel Trailer (caravan) to ship from New Jersey as I write this. Thanks for the great service and I look forward to my next trip to LA and the Gardena yard Jared Marriott Perth, Western Australia read more

9/8/2018 I would like to say thank you very much to the Schumacher Cargo Logistics Team and the very professional sales executive I had the pleasure of dealing with Ariel Martinez on the consignment of a Modern Classic - American Muscle Car from Seattle Washington USA to New Zealand - Aotearoa. Ariel worked extremely hard and was instrumental in getting this car processed from pick up to delivery to there yard . All e/mails were replied to in a good timely fashion , he has a great phone manner , polite and respectful and understands what customer service is all about. There were excellent photos sent of the Dodge Challenger on entry to there facility with information after transportation. If you are thinking of purchasing a car from the USA to New Zealand or any other part of the world then Schumacher Logistic's is the Team to go with. I would use this company again and would definitely recommend using this company to any body interested in Classic cars - bikes etc, for importing or exporting. I'am very grateful to Ariel for his commitment and dedication on seeing this consignment through. He is a real asset to this company. Kia ora thanks . Regards Marc read more

From: Asaf Kibel AK Connect Inc. When I started my business a few years ago, I looked for established, well known company. Schumacher Cargo Logistics turn out to be what I was looking for. They do business since 1977, they are professionals when it comes to moving and service and they have business relationships all over the world. I start doing business with them 3 years ago. At some point our business transactions grow and I went to visit Schumacher Cargo Logistics offices and facilities in theirs CA location. What a great environment, everyone who works there is always available, Luis, Steve, Rebekah, Arpad, Ivan, Suresh, This facility has it all; parking, containers, trucks, the warehouse is well equipped, it's a safe place to store personal belongings. As a customer we usually don't get to see the facility, is it clean, safe? Where are the items stored? Things can go wrong sometimes, with SCL I ensure you that every problem will resolve and in the end as a customer you will be happy. I can say that I did the right choice for my clients and my business, by choosing to work with Schumacher Cargo Logistics. Asaf KIbel - Owner AK Connect Inc read more

Hi there, Honestly, I'd like to share my experience with Schumacher. The only person that worked tirelessly to assist us in getting our shipment from in a timely manner was Donna TRenova from (NJ warehouse)She was supportive in many ways even when I got disappointed from other people working at this company she was always calming me down with her sweet words and speaks great about her co-workers, she was always proactive and generous with her time. We know that she went over and above what were her responsibilities to make sure that our shipment was finally delivered to us, without Donna I wouldn't any better I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for everything that she did for us, and she was with us from the moment that my shipment was loaded the truck in New York in June 2019 to when the shipment arrived to our home in Austria. One more thing to add, if I ever decided to do any shipment I would choose Schumacher because of this great woman. Thank you so much to Donna her efficiency, and her help in every way. Should I need to do any international moving , Schumacher Cargo will also be my first choice read more

Schumacher is the most professional and customer friendly cargo moving company out there. On top of that they offer the best deal out of all the moving companies. Nathan came to my place a few days after we talked on the phone and he was really nice, professional and clear about the whole procedure. Many companies out there are too lazy to check your place and will only give you an appraisal over the phone. Nathan took the time to come over cause he knew they were the most competitive company out there. He explained to me very well how the whole shipment was calculated and how it was gonna take place. My whole recording studio arrived in perfect condition from LA to Lecce, Italy. Even the few items I added last minute were packed neatly with all the rest. Everything was wrapped and packed super safely and arrived without a scratch (all my guitars and speakers and pre amps). Nathan and Valerio were always super quick to answer my calls and emails. The time delivery was a couple weeks longer than expected but better safe than sorry. Other than that I would give it a five star service at an unbeatable price ! read more

Shipping internationally can be complicated, frustrating and often results in long wait times. I've lived and work in 11 different countries, I've been there...more than once. It took 10 months to get stuff to the US from Zambia and 1 1/2 years to get it out of Libya. There are a lot of moving parts, sometimes the sippers can only do so much. If you were a first time overseas shipper, you were might have been disappointed, it is always a waiting game. I saw my boxes leave my house in Zambia May 18, 2021 just clearing customs in the US Feb. 15, 2022. SCL has been very, very good. Especially working with Donna. She responded to every inquiry the same day, even multiple times in the same day. I know I was probably bugging her with updates (starting to get impatient with Covid, shipping delays, etc.) but EVERY single email and question was addressed. I highly recommend. Again, if you are a first time shipper you need to be patient. Cheapest is not always the best, ask around. Going cheap can come back to bite you. My international career is finished, but I would definitely use SCL again. Stephen E. read more

I've had a great experience with Schumacher Cargo Logistics. The staff (Christopher and Alicia) have been enormously helpful and patient with all my questions and concerns. I know they've been organizing international shipments for a long time, but I'm completely new to the process and had far too many questions for them. Their answers to my questions were always thorough and reassuring. The Schumacher price came in at about half of what I got as estimates from other shippers and was completely reasonable considering all the services Schumacher provides. The Schumacher crew did a fantastic job when they picked up my stuff from a storage unit. They arrived earlier than the scheduled time, were very courteous and patient, and did an excellent job making sure that my boxes and loose items were properly and safely packed. The crew got the pickup job done carefully and quickly, and I'm very grateful to them. Here's hoping everything goes well at the other end but I couldn't be happier than with what I've experienced with Schumacher thus far. read more

We have utilized Schumacher Cargo to shipped 19 vehicles over the last 2 years. Our experience has been excellent. From our sales executive, Filip Michelet, we can count on an accurate shipping quote and prompt booking. Rebekah Taylor, our import specialist has assisted us through the import process and made the job much easier. We have worked directly with the shipping coordinator in the NJ warehouse, Arpad, to facilitate the release of our vehicles for transport to us. We have always received excellent service and help making the release run smoothly. Our representatives have worked with us to make sure each vehicle was taken excellent care of. From assisting transporting the vehicle to the warehouse in Europe for export to the US, to gathering export documents, to loading and securing each vehicle with care to assure it arrives in the US in the same condition it left Europe. We have trusted Schumacher Cargo to ship our cars ranging in value from $18,000 to 2 Million and they have not let us down. read more

We have employed the services of Schumacher to move all our worldly belongings from Boston MA to the UK. So far the service we have received from the East Coast Team (Bob Lonek and Angela McKenna) has been outstanding. They have not failed to keep us informed of possible shipment dates and were extremely helpful in negotiating extra storage time in the NJ Warehouse. Our shipment is due to sail in a few weeks and I hope the sub contractors chosen in the UK can live up to my expectations. The moving team who packed our goods in Boston were beyond professional, arriving 1.5 hours early (for some this would be a complaint) not us. I was nervous and wide awake so when they arrived at 7.15am, I was so pleased. I have never seen 3 men work so hard to pack up everything in our 3 bed house. They were done by 4.30pm. Truly amazing. Thank you for everything so far and all being well the shipment will arrive on time and the UK team will do just as good a job as the US side. More to follow ... read more
