Door-to-Door Service

Flat-Rate Packages
One price covers everything โ pickup, ocean transit, customs clearance, and final delivery.
Nationwide trucking is where every international move really begins: at your front door, not at the port. If you are relocating from Texas, California, Florida, or anywhere else in the United States, your belongings need to get to an East Coast port before they can cross the Atlantic. City Post Express provides comprehensive domestic trucking and logistics services to bridge that gap, ensuring your move runs seamlessly from pickup through to final delivery on the other side.
Our trucking network covers the entire continental United States. Whether you need a single pallet picked up from a warehouse in Chicago, a full household collected from a home in Los Angeles, or regular freight runs from a manufacturing facility in the Midwest, we coordinate the domestic leg of your shipment with the same care and professionalism we bring to the international side.
We also offer warehousing and storage services for clients who need a buffer between their domestic pickup and their international sailing date. Your goods are stored securely in our bonded facilities until the optimal shipping window, giving you flexibility with your moving timeline.
By handling both the domestic and international legs of your shipment, we eliminate the coordination headaches that come from using multiple carriers. One company, one point of contact, one seamless logistics chain from your door in America to your door overseas.
Who Is This For?
Anyone shipping from locations outside the Northeast US who needs reliable domestic transportation to connect with international shipping services. Also suitable for businesses needing regular domestic freight and logistics support.

Why Choose City Post Express
Choosing who ships your personal belongings overseas is a big decision. Here is why thousands of families and individuals trust us.
The Forgotten First Mile
Most international movers quote port-to-port and leave you to figure out the domestic leg. We handle door-to-door โ and that starts at YOUR door, wherever you are in America.
Integrated Logistics
When we manage both the domestic pickup and the international shipping, we control the entire supply chain. That means better timing, fewer handoffs, and less risk of damage or delay.
Storage When You Need It
Moving timelines rarely align perfectly. Our warehousing service gives you flexibility โ ship your belongings to us when it suits you, and we hold them safely until the next available sailing.

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."
