Why City Post Express?
20+ years on this route. Flat-rate pricing. Door-to-door across all 50 states. A real person answers the phone. Here is why it matters.
What Sets Us Apart
International shipping is full of companies that promise low prices and deliver headaches. We have been in this business for over 20 years because we do it differently. Here is what that means for you.
Licensed, Bonded & Federally Regulated
City Post Express holds Federal Maritime Commission License #034938 and is a fully bonded freight forwarder. That means we are vetted for financial responsibility, we have posted a surety bond to protect consumers, and your money and cargo are protected by federal law.
Licensing is the baseline — most legitimate US freight forwarders are regulated this way. What actually sets us apart is what comes next: 20+ years on the US-to-Europe route, flat-rate pricing, and a real person on the phone from pickup to delivery.
25+ Years of Experience
City Post Express has been shipping personal effects and household goods from the US to destinations worldwide since 2004. That is over 20 years of navigating customs regulations, building carrier relationships, and perfecting the logistics of international moves.
Experience matters in this industry. We have seen every type of shipment, every customs complication, and every logistical challenge. When something unexpected comes up — and in international shipping, it sometimes does — we know exactly how to handle it because we have handled it before. Our tagline says it best: our experience is your experience.
True Door-to-Door Service
When we say door-to-door, we mean it. We pick up your belongings from your home in the United States and deliver them directly to your new address overseas. You do not need to drive to a depot, arrange your own trucking, or figure out last-mile delivery at the other end.
Our service covers every step: pickup from your US address, transport to port, ocean freight, customs clearance at the destination, and final delivery to your new home. Whether you are in New York, Connecticut, California, or anywhere else in the country — we come to you.
Flat-Rate, Transparent Pricing
We believe you deserve to know exactly what you are paying before we pick up a single box. Our flat-rate packages include everything: pickup, freight, customs clearance, documentation, and delivery. The quote we give you is the price you pay — no surprise surcharges for stairs, long carries, packing materials, or anything else.
The only additional costs are government-imposed customs duties or taxes, which vary based on your destination and eligibility for duty exemptions. We will advise you on expected duties before you commit, so there are truly no surprises. Why pay more?
Personal, Human Service
When you call City Post Express, you get a small, experienced team that handles your move end to end. We know your name, your shipment details, and your timeline — without the layered support tiers of a large freight forwarder.
This personal approach is not just a nice touch — it is how we catch problems before they happen, anticipate your questions, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Large moving companies pass you between departments. We give you one team that handles everything from start to finish.
Deep Customs Expertise
Customs clearance is where many international moves run into trouble. Incorrect documentation, missed exemptions, unexpected duties — these are common problems when you work with companies that do not specialize in your destination. We have been clearing shipments through Irish, UK, and European customs for over two decades.
We prepare all customs documentation on your behalf, apply for Transfer of Residence relief and other duty exemptions where available, and coordinate with customs brokers at the destination to ensure a smooth clearance. You do not need to visit any government office or fill out any customs forms — we handle it all. Learn more in our customs guide.

Our Promise to You
Moving overseas is one of the biggest transitions you will ever make. Whether you are relocating for work, returning home to Ireland after years in the US, sending your child to university in London, or starting a new chapter in Europe — it is a significant moment in your life. Your belongings matter. They are not just boxes of stuff; they are pieces of your life, your history, and your home.
We understand that, and we take it seriously. Every shipment we handle gets the same level of care and attention, whether it is five boxes of student essentials or a full container of family heirlooms. We do not cut corners on packing protection, we do not skimp on documentation, and we do not disappear once your shipment is on the water.
Our promise is simple: we will treat your belongings as if they were our own, communicate honestly and clearly at every step, and deliver on the timeline and price we quoted. That is how we have earned the trust of thousands of families over the past 20 years, and it is how we plan to earn yours.
Why It Matters Who You Ship With
Unlicensed Operators
Unlicensed operators work outside federal oversight. If your shipment goes missing or arrives damaged, there is no bond to claim against and no regulatory body to complain to. The low price is not worth the risk.
Hidden Fee Companies
Some movers quote a low base price to win your business, then pile on charges for stairs, long carries, packing tape, Saturday pickup, fuel surcharges, and more. By the time your shipment arrives, the total bill can be double the original quote.
City Post Express
Flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, 20+ years on the US-to-Europe route, and personal service from a team that knows your name. The quote we give you is the price you pay. That is how it should work.
