International Moves

Free In-Home Estimates for International Moves

International estimates need a closer look. We can't just guess over the phone. Our team will come to your home—whether it's a 1950s tract home in Cambrian Park with those original pipes we need to be careful around, or a newer place in Milpitas—and assess exactly what's going. We'll measure doorways, check for tricky stairs, and flag anything that could complicate the packing or the shipping process. That way, the quote we give you is the quote you can plan your budget around.

Your furniture will travel further than it ever has before. It needs protection that a trip across town just doesn't require. We use commercial-grade materials and techniques designed for the rigors of international shipping. We build custom crates for fragile items and use heavy-duty shrink wrap to guard against moisture and handling. We've packed up everything from antique dining tables in Rose Garden to full home offices in Sunnyvale, making sure every piece arrives in one piece.

Getting a large piece through a narrow hallway in a Japantown apartment is one thing. Getting it into a shipping container is another. Our team is experienced in breaking down beds, desks, and large entertainment centers into smaller, more manageable pieces for transport. We label everything, keep hardware in separate bags, and document the whole process with photos. When your furniture arrives at your new home abroad, you'll have a clear map for putting it all back together.

The way we load a container is critical. It's like a game of 3D Tetris where the stakes are your belongings. We strategically place heavier furniture first to create a stable base, then fill every gap with padding and boxes to prevent shifting during the voyage. We also handle the tricky part of getting your goods to the port. That might mean navigating a steep, narrow driveway in the East Foothills with a hand truck or coordinating with your building's loading dock in downtown San Jose. We handle the curb-to-port leg so your shipment gets to the ship on time.

Arriving in a new country is exhausting. The last thing you want to do is wrestle with boxes and furniture assembly. If you choose our unpacking service, we'll have your new place feeling like home within hours. We'll place furniture according to your floor plan, unpack boxes in the right rooms, and set up beds so you can just collapse after your journey. We'll even break down the empty boxes and haul them away, leaving you with nothing but clean space and a fresh start.

The truth is, an international move is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes patience and serious planning. All Stars Movers brings decades of experience to the table, handling moves of every size from every corner of Santa Clara County. We've helped families in a two-bedroom condo near Santana Row with a shuttle move out of a low-clearance garage, and we've packed up entire estates in Los Gatos. Whether you're moving a single room or a whole house, our process is the same: careful planning, meticulous packing, and clear communication from the first estimate to the final delivery.

Every Bay Area move has its quirks, and international moves are no exception. We're used to the older homes with galvanized plumbing in Willow Glen, where we take extra care not to jostle the walls. We know which streets downtown San Jose have one-way restrictions and where the turnarounds are tight. And during the rainy season, we're prepared for slick driveways and the possibility of flooding near Coyote Creek. Our experience with these local conditions means we can plan a route and a loading strategy that avoids problems before they start, keeping your shipment on schedule.

Twenty years in the moving industry—and a good chunk of that helping Bay Area folks ship their lives overseas—teaches you a thing or two. We've packed everything from precious family heirlooms to entire households for moves to Europe, Asia, and everywhere in between. That experience means we know the ropes, the paperwork, and the packing tricks that keep your belongings safe across oceans. Find out more about our story on our About Us page.

When your move involves borders and customs, you need a crew that's sharp. Every All Stars Movers team member goes through thorough background checks and gets trained in the finer points of international packing—like using the right materials to protect against humidity changes on a long sea voyage. We treat your belongings with the same care we'd give our own, whether we're loading a container in Palo Alto or a truck bound for the port.

International moving quotes can feel like a guessing game—some companies lowball you, then hit you with port fees, fuel surcharges, or packing costs you never saw coming. We don't play that. Our written estimates spell out every cost up front, from the packing materials to the truck to the long-haul logistics. No surprises, no jargon, just a clear price so you can budget with confidence.

All Stars Movers operates under California Public Utilities Commission MTR #0192540, which means we meet strict state standards—even more important when your move crosses international borders. Unlicensed movers might quote you a bargain rate, but if your goods get damaged on a ship or lost in customs, you're on your own. With us, you're protected by California regulations and our comprehensive insurance coverage, so your overseas move has a safety net.

According to the American Moving & Storage Association, nearly 40% of moves involve some form of damage or loss when using unlicensed movers. That's a risk you don't want to take when your items are traveling thousands of miles. Our credentials and track record mean your belongings—and your peace of mind—are in good hands.

We've helped families from San Jose to San Francisco coordinate international relocations, often dealing with tricky logistics like narrow Berkeley Hills driveways or tight parking on city streets in the Mission. When it comes to getting your stuff safely from the Bay Area to your new home abroad, we've got the experience to handle it all.
