20+ Years Door-to-Door Flat-Rate Pricing

10,000+ Shipments Delivered

Tens of thousands of successful international moves from the US to destinations worldwide โ€” including Ireland, the UK, and Europe.

In Business Since 2004

20+ years moving households and freight from the US to destinations across Europe and beyond.

Door-to-Door Service

We collect from your US home and deliver to your new front door. You handle nothing in between.

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 This Service Works

Built around what actually matters when you are shipping your life overseas.

01

Nationwide Coverage

Our trucking network covers all 48 contiguous states. Whether you are in New York City or rural Idaho, we arrange pickup from your door.

02

Bonded Warehousing

Secure storage in our facilities between pickup and sailing date. Ideal if you are between leases, selling a home, or need flexible timing.

03

FTL & LTL Options

Full truckload for large household moves, less-than-truckload for smaller shipments. You pay for the capacity you need, nothing more.

04

Seamless Handoff

Your domestic and international shipment is managed by one company. No coordination between multiple carriers, no separate invoices, no finger-pointing.

How Freight & Logistics Works

Our simple process gets your belongings where they need to be

1

Tell Us Your Pickup Location

Share your address, the volume and nature of your shipment, and your preferred pickup dates. We will map the most efficient route from your location to the appropriate port or consolidation point.

2

We Arrange Collection

Our trucking partners collect your shipment from your home, office, or warehouse. For household moves, we coordinate with your packing and moving schedule. For commercial freight, we match your production or warehousing timeline.

3

Transit and Warehousing

Your goods are transported to our East Coast facilities. If there is a gap between pickup and your international sailing date, we store your shipment securely until it is time to load. Everything is inventoried and tracked.

4

Handoff to International Shipping

When your sailing date arrives, your shipment is loaded directly from our warehouse to the container. The transition from domestic to international is completely seamless โ€” you do not have to coordinate anything.

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.

"Every warehouse pickup I have scheduled with CPE has been on time. Every single one. In this industry, that is basically a miracle."

CM
Carla Jennings, Logistics Mgr
