What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from people who trusted us with their international move.
"Coordinating pickups across three Texas warehouses used to eat up my entire Monday. Now I send one email to Robert and it is handled by lunchtime."
"Reliable. Punctual. No excuses. That is CPE in three words."
"I was worried about consolidation damaging our fragile inventory. The warehouse team packed everything like it was their own. Not a single breakage across 14 pallets."
"We compared five trucking companies for our US-side logistics. Two missed the pickup window during the trial. One quoted us twice what they originally said. CPE was the only one that showed up, on time, at the agreed price."
"Jennifer arranged a same-day pickup when our original carrier no-showed on a shipment headed to port. That kind of responsiveness earns loyalty."
"Third year working with CPE for consolidation services. They store, they sort, they palletize, and everything reaches the port on schedule. I focus on selling, they handle the rest."
"The warehouse photos they send before sealing each container give me total confidence. I can see exactly how everything is loaded."
"A logistics consultant I trust told me to call City Post Express. Best advice he ever gave me. Pickup, warehousing, and port delivery all handled under one roof."
"On time. Every time. Not much else to say."
"My biggest concern was the cost of warehousing while waiting for a full container load. CPE's consolidation pricing was transparent and actually came in under what I budgeted."
"Robert personally oversaw the loading of our oversized machinery onto a flatbed. Not many logistics companies have people who actually care about your freight."
"We needed temporary warehousing for inventory between production runs. CPE offered flexible terms without locking us into a long contract. Exactly what a growing business needs."
"After a competitor damaged a full pallet of electronics during transit, our insurance company actually recommended City Post Express as a safer option. They were right."
"Pickup was at 7 AM on a Saturday. Driver arrived at 6:45. That professionalism carried through the entire process."
"Consolidating shipments from four different suppliers into one container saved us almost 30% on shipping costs. Jennifer at CPE made the coordination look effortless."
"Second time using CPE for a major warehouse-to-port move. Went even smoother than the first, which I did not think was possible."
"Knowing my freight is staged and ready at the warehouse before the vessel cutoff date lets me actually focus on running my business instead of chasing trucks."
"A partner in our industry group recommended CPE after their own great experience. We have since referred two more companies ourselves. That says it all."
"The difference between CPE and our previous trucking company is that CPE communicates before problems happen, not after. Proactive logistics is rare and valuable."
"LTL pickup from our Minneapolis facility, consolidated with other freight at their warehouse, then delivered to port as a full container. Seamless from start to finish."
"We moved from managing three separate vendors for pickup, warehousing, and port delivery to just CPE handling all three. Fewer headaches, lower costs, better results."
"Before CPE, European orders were our biggest headache. VAT paperwork, customs holds, angry customers emailing about delays. All of that disappeared within a month of switching."
"Clean, simple, reliable. Exactly what a one-person Shopify operation needs."
"Scaling into the EU felt terrifying until Jennifer walked us through their fulfillment process. We launched in four markets simultaneously and every single order landed on time."
"Our European return rate dropped 40% after switching to CPE. Turns out, when products arrive undamaged and on time, people keep them."
"We got quotes from five fulfillment partners. Two never followed up. One could not handle VAT. CPE was the only one that understood what D2C brands actually need for European expansion."
"Robert sorted our IOSS registration in a single call. We had been going back and forth with our previous provider for six weeks on the same issue."
"Second year using CPE for our European fulfillment. Black Friday, holiday rush, summer surge — they have handled every peak without a single missed SLA."
"High-value, fragile products going to 12 European countries. Not one damage claim in eight months. That alone justified switching from our old 3PL."
"The Shopify integration just works. Orders flow through, tracking updates automatically, customers get notified. I barely think about European logistics anymore."
"A friend in the DTC space told me about City Post Express after we had a nightmare holiday season with another shipper. Best referral I have ever gotten."
"Perishable goods, tight timelines, customs paperwork for food products. CPE handles all of it. My EU subscribers get fresh coffee every month like clockwork."
"Inventory syncing was my biggest fear — overselling in one market while stock sits idle in another. Jennifer set up a system that keeps everything balanced across channels."
"Heavy, oversized products shipping to Europe. Every other company either refused the dimensions or quoted us into oblivion. CPE found a rate that actually worked."
"Went from 15% of revenue being European to 35% in one year. The logistics bottleneck was all that was holding us back, and CPE removed it completely."
"No hidden fees. No surprise surcharges three months in. What they quoted is what we pay. After two previous 3PLs that was honestly refreshing."
"Robert personally handled our first bulk shipment to the UK and walked us through every compliance requirement. We felt supported, not sold to."
"Hazmat classification for shipping candles internationally had us stuck for months. CPE sorted the paperwork and had our first European order out within two weeks."
"Fast. No drama. My EU customers finally get the same experience as domestic ones."
"We were terrified of EU VAT compliance destroying our margins. CPE structured everything so cleanly that we are actually more profitable on European orders than we expected."
"Repeat customer — started with a test batch of 50 units to Germany, now shipping 2,000 units a month across 8 countries. They scaled with us without missing a beat."
"My operations partner at another brand introduced me to Jennifer. Within one call I knew these were the right people. Six months in, that instinct has been confirmed every single week."
"The cost of NOT having reliable European shipping was killing us — refunds, reshipping, lost customers. CPE paid for itself in the first month just from eliminating those losses."
"The relief I felt when my winter clothes and laptop arrived in Dublin four days before my start date — I cannot overstate it. Robert on the CPE team even texted me a photo of the crate being loaded."
"Our relocation company quoted us three weeks for air freight. City Post Express did it in eight days, door to door, for less money."
"Forty-eight hours. That is all it took for critical medical equipment to go from our Boston warehouse to a hospital in Dublin. No other company even came close to that timeline."
"Cannot fault them. Fast, professional, done."
"My business partner recommended Jennifer at CPE when I was panicking about documents stuck in customs. She had everything cleared and delivered within the day."
"A factory shutdown was 72 hours away. Tens of thousands of dollars on the line. City Post Express got the replacement parts onto a direct flight and we never missed a single production day."
"Third year running we use them for electronics shipments to our Belfast office. Consistency is everything in logistics and CPE delivers it — literally."
"Honestly expected the worst after two other freight companies ghosted my quote request. Robert responded within the hour and had my prototypes in Edinburgh two days ahead of schedule."
"Trade show materials. Paris. Tight deadline. They made it look easy."
"Temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments are not something you trust to just anyone. We have been with CPE for two years now and have never had a compliance issue or a late delivery."
"My biggest worry was customs delays eating into our timeline. Completely unfounded — everything cleared same day on the Dublin side."
"Emergency replacement parts for our Manchester line. Jennifer coordinated the pickup, the flight, and the customs paperwork simultaneously. Parts were installed 30 hours after my phone call."
"After getting burned by a budget carrier that lost a pallet somewhere over the Atlantic, I switched to City Post Express. Night and day difference in tracking, communication, and care."
"Door to door in 36 hours for legal documents. That kind of speed changes what is possible for our practice."
"Lab equipment with strict handling requirements. Robert walked me through every customs form personally. Cleared on the first attempt, zero damage."
"A colleague on a construction project in Cork told me about CPE. Glad he did — my specialized tools arrived in Dublin perfectly packaged and right on schedule."
"Quoted by three companies. CPE was not the cheapest but they were the only ones who could guarantee the delivery date. Worth every cent — the shipment arrived a day early."
"Being a small business, I half expected to get treated like an afterthought. Instead they gave my single urgent box to Glasgow the same attention as a full pallet job."
"Real-time tracking from LA to Rome. I knew where my shipment was at every single stage. That peace of mind is what I am paying for."
"Quarterly air shipments of sensitive testing equipment for two years straight. Not one late delivery. Not one damaged item. That is a track record."
"My restoration shop contact in Birmingham could not believe how fast the parts arrived. Neither could I, honestly. Robert kept me updated the entire way."
"Our original carrier fell through with 48 hours until deadline. A logistics partner referred us to CPE and they pulled off what felt impossible — shipment in Brussels, on time, intact."
"Every warehouse pickup I have scheduled with CPE has been on time. Every single one. In this industry, that is basically a miracle."

"Our original carrier fell through with 48 hours until deadline. A logistics partner referred us to CPE and they pulled off what felt impossible — shipment in Brussels, on time, intact."
"Relocating a four-bedroom house across the Atlantic felt impossible until we talked to Robert. He mapped out the entire process, handled every customs form, and our furniture arrived in London without a single scratch. We still cannot believe how smooth it was."
"After twenty years in New York, moving our entire household back to Dublin was overwhelming. City Post Express turned what could have been a nightmare into something manageable. They treated our belongings like their own."
"Best decision we made during our entire relocation. Everything else was chaos — visa paperwork, selling the house, saying goodbyes. But the shipping? That was the one thing that just worked."
"A colleague who relocated to Glasgow last year insisted I call City Post Express before anyone else. One conversation with Jennifer and I cancelled the other three quotes I had pending."
"Our dining table was handmade by my grandfather. The thought of it crossing an ocean terrified me. Robert personally oversaw the packing and it arrived in Galway in perfect condition. I cannot thank them enough for that."
"We got five quotes for our household move. Two were outrageously expensive, two were suspiciously cheap with vague terms. City Post was the one in the middle that actually explained what we were paying for."
"Forty-three boxes, a sofa, a bed frame, and a piano. Yes, a piano. They shipped my piano to Limerick and it arrived in tune. I am still in shock."
"The customs aspect of a full household move to the UK had us losing sleep. City Post handled every single document, every declaration, every form. We did not touch a piece of paperwork."
"Second full household move with CPE. First was Seattle to Dublin five years ago, now Dublin back to Belfast. They have our business for life."
"Jennifer called me personally to let me know our container had cleared French customs. Not an automated email — an actual phone call. That tells you everything about how this company operates."
"Fifteen years of memories packed into a 40-foot container. Furniture from every phase of our kids growing up. When we unpacked in Dublin and everything was exactly as we left it, I sat down and cried."
"Smooth, professional, transparent. Exactly what you need when your whole life is in boxes on a ship somewhere."
"My sister used City Post for her move to Cork and told me to call Robert directly. He remembered her shipment from two years ago. That kind of personal service is rare in any industry, let alone international freight."
"The other company we almost went with could not even tell us when our stuff would arrive. City Post gave us a delivery window on day one and hit it exactly. For a whole-house move across an ocean, that precision is remarkable."
"Robert coordinated the pickup to align with our closing date on the house. That kind of logistical awareness — understanding that we literally had nowhere to keep things — made all the difference."
"Our entire household in one container. Furniture, artwork, the kids' bikes, boxes of Christmas decorations. All of it arrived. All of it intact. Genuinely could not ask for more."
"I expected hidden fees. I budgeted an extra twenty percent just in case. The final invoice matched the quote to the dollar. First time that has ever happened with any moving company."
"Moving furniture to Portugal sounded like a logistical nightmare. Jennifer broke the whole process into simple steps and suddenly it felt completely doable. Her expertise turned chaos into calm."
"Four-bedroom house, two cars worth of garage stuff, and about fifty boxes. They inventoried every single item. When it all showed up in Copenhagen, we checked every box off the list. Nothing missing, nothing broken."
"Coming home to Ireland after eighteen years. Emotionally it was huge. City Post made sure the practical side matched the feeling — our home in Galway felt like home from the day our things arrived."
"Got a referral from my relocation agent, who said City Post is the only company she recommends for household moves to Europe. Now I understand why. They are simply better at this than anyone else I dealt with."
"The whole-house move seemed impossible when we started planning it. By the time our container arrived in Cork, we wondered why we had ever worried. Robert and his team just handle it."
"My dad found City Post Express and honestly I thought he was overcomplicating things. I was just going to cram everything into suitcases. So glad he insisted — eight boxes arrived at my dorm before I did and it cost less than extra luggage fees."
"As a mom sending her daughter across the Atlantic for a full year, I needed to know her things were in good hands. Jennifer kept us updated at every stage. One enormous weight off my shoulders during an already emotional time."
"Best decision I made for my study abroad. Full stop."
"Our son was panicking about how to get his things to Ireland two weeks before departure. Robert calmed him down, arranged a quick pickup, and everything was waiting in Galway when he arrived. Absolute lifesaver."
"I compared airline excess baggage costs versus shipping with CPE. Shipping six boxes was literally half the price of checking them as luggage. Plus I did not have to drag them through three airports."
"Second year using them. Shipped my stuff to Dublin last September and they stored my boxes over summer when I came home. Going back this fall and doing the exact same thing."
"I was so worried about Dutch customs holding my stuff. City Post handled all the paperwork and my boxes cleared without any issues. Seven boxes of textbooks and clothes delivered right to my student housing."
"Jennifer suggested we ship a week earlier than planned because of holiday delays. That kind of proactive thinking saved us from a real headache. Our daughter had everything on move-in day."
"Quick and painless. Boxed everything up on a Saturday, they picked up Monday, arrived in Glasgow three weeks later."
"My roommate used a different shipping company and half his boxes arrived damaged. I used City Post and everything was pristine. He is switching to CPE next semester."
"A girl in my program shipped with City Post the year before and told everyone in our group chat to use them. Four of us did. All four had great experiences."
"Robert answered my email at 9pm on a Sunday when I realized I had filled out the customs form wrong. That is customer service you do not find anymore."
"Packing up my dorm room was stressful enough. Having a service that just picked everything up and delivered it overseas made the whole transition manageable. I could actually focus on saying goodbye to friends instead of logistics."
"Used CPE for all four semesters abroad. At this point they probably know my shipping preferences better than I do."
"When your child gets into Oxford, the last thing you want to worry about is shipping logistics. City Post made it one phone call and done. Jennifer even followed up to confirm delivery."
"I packed my guitar in one of the boxes and was nervous the entire time. Arrived in Manchester without a scratch. They clearly know how to handle fragile items."
"The tracking updates were actually useful, not just generic status messages. I knew exactly when my things were on the water and when they cleared customs."
"My older sister used CPE two years ago for her semester in Dublin and practically forced me to use them too. Glad she did — smooth experience start to finish."
"Feeling homesick is hard enough without also not having your stuff. Having my own bedding, books, and photos waiting for me in my flat made Bristol feel like home from day one."
"Flat rate. No hidden fees. No weight surprises. Just tell them how many boxes and they give you a number. That number does not change."
"My anxiety about this whole process was through the roof. Robert talked me through everything on the phone and by the end of the call I felt completely calm. That patience matters."
"Three kids, three study abroad programs, three times using City Post Express. They have earned our family's loyalty. Already planning to use them again for our youngest next year."
"Honestly, the relief I felt when everything arrived in Dublin was overwhelming. After months of planning this move, having one thing go perfectly smoothly almost made me cry."
"After comparing four different international movers, City Post Express was the only one that gave us a flat rate with zero asterisks. The others all had fuel surcharges, customs handling fees, or vague estimates that kept changing."
"Third time using CPE. Will not use anyone else."
"My mother-in-law recommended City Post Express after she used them for her own move to Kilkenny. Now I understand why she would not stop talking about them. Genuinely seamless from start to finish."
"Robert walked me through the customs paperwork line by line. I had no idea what a Transfer of Residence form was, and he made it completely painless. My 28 boxes cleared Irish customs without a single issue."
"I was terrified about shipping my grandmother's china overseas. They packed each piece individually and everything — every single piece — arrived without a scratch. That meant more to me than I can say."
"Got quotes from three companies. One was double the price. Another could not give me a firm number. CPE gave me a flat rate on the phone and stuck to it."
"Moving home after twelve years in the States was emotional enough. Jennifer made the logistics the one part I did not have to worry about. She even called to check in after delivery."
"Straightforward and professional. Twenty-two boxes door to door in under four weeks."
"My sister used City Post last year and told me not to bother looking anywhere else. She was right. Same great experience — they clearly do this at a high level consistently."
"We were worried about timing — our lease ended August 1st and we needed everything in Cork by September. Robert coordinated the whole schedule and our boxes were waiting for us when we landed."
"No drama. No surprises. Just a well-run operation that does what they say they will do."
"The biggest worry I had was customs duties eating into my budget. City Post handled my Transfer of Residence application and I ended up paying zero duty on everything. That alone saved me a fortune."
"A friend from my expat group in Paris recommended CPE, and now I have recommended them to three more people. The French customs process seemed daunting but they handled every piece of documentation."
"Jennifer was incredible. She answered every panicked email I sent — and there were a lot of them — with patience and actual answers, not canned responses."
"I keep telling people: the flat rate is real. What they quoted is what I paid. After getting burned by hidden fees with a different company on a previous move, that meant everything."
"Used them two years ago for a small shipment and came back for the full mini move this time. Exact same level of service both times."
"Robert personally called me when my shipment cleared UK customs. That kind of individual attention from an actual person — not a chatbot, not a ticket system — is why I chose them."
"Packed up 24 boxes of my life and handed them over to people I found online. Sounds terrifying when I put it that way, but from the first phone call I trusted them completely. Every box arrived perfect."
"Comparing their quote to what I paid in excess baggage fees on my last international move — I wish I had known about CPE sooner. Five boxes on a flight cost me more than 26 boxes with City Post."
"My cousin in Galway used them. My aunt in Dublin used them. Now I have used them. It is the family-approved moving company at this point."
"Everything about this company is built around removing stress. The tracking, the communication, the flat pricing — it all just works. Moved 30 boxes and never once felt anxious about it."
"Relocating a four-bedroom house across the Atlantic felt impossible until we talked to Robert. He mapped out the entire process, handled every customs form, and our furniture arrived in London without a single scratch. We still cannot believe how smooth it was."
"After twenty years in New York, moving our entire household back to Dublin was overwhelming. City Post Express turned what could have been a nightmare into something manageable. They treated our belongings like their own."

"We got five quotes for our household move. Two were outrageously expensive, two were suspiciously cheap with vague terms. City Post was the one in the middle that actually explained what we were paying for."
"Forty-three boxes, a sofa, a bed frame, and a piano. Yes, a piano. They shipped my piano to Limerick and it arrived in tune. I am still in shock."
"The customs aspect of a full household move to the UK had us losing sleep. City Post handled every single document, every declaration, every form. We did not touch a piece of paperwork."
"Second full household move with CPE. First was Seattle to Dublin five years ago, now Dublin back to Belfast. They have our business for life."
"Jennifer called me personally to let me know our container had cleared French customs. Not an automated email — an actual phone call. That tells you everything about how this company operates."
"Fifteen years of memories packed into a 40-foot container. Furniture from every phase of our kids growing up. When we unpacked in Dublin and everything was exactly as we left it, I sat down and cried."
"Smooth, professional, transparent. Exactly what you need when your whole life is in boxes on a ship somewhere."
"My sister used City Post for her move to Cork and told me to call Robert directly. He remembered her shipment from two years ago. That kind of personal service is rare in any industry, let alone international freight."
"The other company we almost went with could not even tell us when our stuff would arrive. City Post gave us a delivery window on day one and hit it exactly. For a whole-house move across an ocean, that precision is remarkable."
"Robert coordinated the pickup to align with our closing date on the house. That kind of logistical awareness — understanding that we literally had nowhere to keep things — made all the difference."
"Our entire household in one container. Furniture, artwork, the kids' bikes, boxes of Christmas decorations. All of it arrived. All of it intact. Genuinely could not ask for more."
"I expected hidden fees. I budgeted an extra twenty percent just in case. The final invoice matched the quote to the dollar. First time that has ever happened with any moving company."
"Moving furniture to Portugal sounded like a logistical nightmare. Jennifer broke the whole process into simple steps and suddenly it felt completely doable. Her expertise turned chaos into calm."
"Four-bedroom house, two cars worth of garage stuff, and about fifty boxes. They inventoried every single item. When it all showed up in Copenhagen, we checked every box off the list. Nothing missing, nothing broken."
"Coming home to Ireland after eighteen years. Emotionally it was huge. City Post made sure the practical side matched the feeling — our home in Galway felt like home from the day our things arrived."
"Got a referral from my relocation agent, who said City Post is the only company she recommends for household moves to Europe. Now I understand why. They are simply better at this than anyone else I dealt with."
"The whole-house move seemed impossible when we started planning it. By the time our container arrived in Cork, we wondered why we had ever worried. Robert and his team just handle it."
"My dad found City Post Express and honestly I thought he was overcomplicating things. I was just going to cram everything into suitcases. So glad he insisted — eight boxes arrived at my dorm before I did and it cost less than extra luggage fees."
"As a mom sending her daughter across the Atlantic for a full year, I needed to know her things were in good hands. Jennifer kept us updated at every stage. One enormous weight off my shoulders during an already emotional time."
"Best decision I made for my study abroad. Full stop."
"Our son was panicking about how to get his things to Ireland two weeks before departure. Robert calmed him down, arranged a quick pickup, and everything was waiting in Galway when he arrived. Absolute lifesaver."
"I compared airline excess baggage costs versus shipping with CPE. Shipping six boxes was literally half the price of checking them as luggage. Plus I did not have to drag them through three airports."
"Second year using them. Shipped my stuff to Dublin last September and they stored my boxes over summer when I came home. Going back this fall and doing the exact same thing."
"I was so worried about Dutch customs holding my stuff. City Post handled all the paperwork and my boxes cleared without any issues. Seven boxes of textbooks and clothes delivered right to my student housing."
"Jennifer suggested we ship a week earlier than planned because of holiday delays. That kind of proactive thinking saved us from a real headache. Our daughter had everything on move-in day."
"Quick and painless. Boxed everything up on a Saturday, they picked up Monday, arrived in Glasgow three weeks later."
"My roommate used a different shipping company and half his boxes arrived damaged. I used City Post and everything was pristine. He is switching to CPE next semester."
"A girl in my program shipped with City Post the year before and told everyone in our group chat to use them. Four of us did. All four had great experiences."
"Robert answered my email at 9pm on a Sunday when I realized I had filled out the customs form wrong. That is customer service you do not find anymore."
"Packing up my dorm room was stressful enough. Having a service that just picked everything up and delivered it overseas made the whole transition manageable. I could actually focus on saying goodbye to friends instead of logistics."
"Used CPE for all four semesters abroad. At this point they probably know my shipping preferences better than I do."
"When your child gets into Oxford, the last thing you want to worry about is shipping logistics. City Post made it one phone call and done. Jennifer even followed up to confirm delivery."
"I packed my guitar in one of the boxes and was nervous the entire time. Arrived in Manchester without a scratch. They clearly know how to handle fragile items."
"The tracking updates were actually useful, not just generic status messages. I knew exactly when my things were on the water and when they cleared customs."
"My older sister used CPE two years ago for her semester in Dublin and practically forced me to use them too. Glad she did — smooth experience start to finish."
"Feeling homesick is hard enough without also not having your stuff. Having my own bedding, books, and photos waiting for me in my flat made Bristol feel like home from day one."
"Flat rate. No hidden fees. No weight surprises. Just tell them how many boxes and they give you a number. That number does not change."
"My anxiety about this whole process was through the roof. Robert talked me through everything on the phone and by the end of the call I felt completely calm. That patience matters."
"Three kids, three study abroad programs, three times using City Post Express. They have earned our family's loyalty. Already planning to use them again for our youngest next year."
"Honestly, the relief I felt when everything arrived in Dublin was overwhelming. After months of planning this move, having one thing go perfectly smoothly almost made me cry."
"After comparing four different international movers, City Post Express was the only one that gave us a flat rate with zero asterisks. The others all had fuel surcharges, customs handling fees, or vague estimates that kept changing."
"Third time using CPE. Will not use anyone else."
"My mother-in-law recommended City Post Express after she used them for her own move to Kilkenny. Now I understand why she would not stop talking about them. Genuinely seamless from start to finish."
"Robert walked me through the customs paperwork line by line. I had no idea what a Transfer of Residence form was, and he made it completely painless. My 28 boxes cleared Irish customs without a single issue."
"I was terrified about shipping my grandmother's china overseas. They packed each piece individually and everything — every single piece — arrived without a scratch. That meant more to me than I can say."
"Got quotes from three companies. One was double the price. Another could not give me a firm number. CPE gave me a flat rate on the phone and stuck to it."
"Moving home after twelve years in the States was emotional enough. Jennifer made the logistics the one part I did not have to worry about. She even called to check in after delivery."
"Straightforward and professional. Twenty-two boxes door to door in under four weeks."
"My sister used City Post last year and told me not to bother looking anywhere else. She was right. Same great experience — they clearly do this at a high level consistently."
"We were worried about timing — our lease ended August 1st and we needed everything in Cork by September. Robert coordinated the whole schedule and our boxes were waiting for us when we landed."
"No drama. No surprises. Just a well-run operation that does what they say they will do."
"The biggest worry I had was customs duties eating into my budget. City Post handled my Transfer of Residence application and I ended up paying zero duty on everything. That alone saved me a fortune."
"A friend from my expat group in Paris recommended CPE, and now I have recommended them to three more people. The French customs process seemed daunting but they handled every piece of documentation."
"Jennifer was incredible. She answered every panicked email I sent — and there were a lot of them — with patience and actual answers, not canned responses."
"I keep telling people: the flat rate is real. What they quoted is what I paid. After getting burned by hidden fees with a different company on a previous move, that meant everything."
"Used them two years ago for a small shipment and came back for the full mini move this time. Exact same level of service both times."
"Robert personally called me when my shipment cleared UK customs. That kind of individual attention from an actual person — not a chatbot, not a ticket system — is why I chose them."
"Packed up 24 boxes of my life and handed them over to people I found online. Sounds terrifying when I put it that way, but from the first phone call I trusted them completely. Every box arrived perfect."
"Comparing their quote to what I paid in excess baggage fees on my last international move — I wish I had known about CPE sooner. Five boxes on a flight cost me more than 26 boxes with City Post."
"My cousin in Galway used them. My aunt in Dublin used them. Now I have used them. It is the family-approved moving company at this point."
"Everything about this company is built around removing stress. The tracking, the communication, the flat pricing — it all just works. Moved 30 boxes and never once felt anxious about it."
