I am extremely happy with the service provided by 1st Move International. They answered all of my questions whenever I called, the removal team was on time and very quick and friendly. My personal effects were secured very thoroughly and arrived at the destination in super quick time and in perfect shape. I was constantly updated on the status of my shipment throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend 1st Move International. Worth every penny

House move to Vancouver. 1st Move International was very professional and careful with our belongings. The process was smooth enough and helped us feel less stressed about moving abroad. The delivery of the cargo was delayed by a month once it reached Canada, but that was not due to any fault of 1st Move. We were told delays were a possibility and the team was quick to send us contact details of the agent who was supposed to receive the shipment here in Canada. When opened the Shrink-Fast packing everything was intact inside, which was surprising and a great relief for us. We are really grateful for this and would highly recommend!Thank you for all your help!

100% worth it, in every aspect. Chap at house was brilliant. Montreal was great...only yuck was traffic in and out of the city, no ones fault. I would use again without thinking twice. Thankyou👍👍

Brilliant company to work with - really responsive and helpful office-based staff dealing with all the preliminaries for the move from London to Canada followed by amazingly quick and hard-working team of packers and movers who dealt with the 5.5 cubic feet of stuff to be shifted down 8 flights of stairs (!) into the van. Have not yet had reports from the recipient in Canada but I expect that to be wholly positive. I just wish we'd used them when we made our move to and back from New Zealand a few years back.
Noble
Canada
Being an elderly widow, my moving from the UK to Canada was a huge change for me. It was something I had wanted to do for many years. My only grandchildren are in Canada. To be honest I was very stressed at having to transfer personal effects. Right from the start 1st Move International gave me the confidence I needed, I could leave everything to them. Their kindness, care and professionalism shone through every step of the way, from door to door Cambridge to Vancouver. Everything arrived safely and I thoroughly recommend 1st Move International

Christine

Thank you so much for all your help and care over the last couple of months shipping my possessions to Vancouver. It's a long way via Shipping Container and Train. All the boxes were delivered safely at 11.45am Vancouver time this morning, a beautiful sunny day. Now I will feel more 'at home' with my familiar things around me. I am so relieved and excited, my new life in Canada has really begun, one of the boxes is full of Lego, so my grandson is looking forward to seeing this after school! He is excited at the prospect of a big box of Lego that once his dad played with! We are in the same building so it is perfect for me. So thank you once again for your professionalism and care.

Thank you so much for all your help with my emigration to Vancouver.....I really appreciate your help.... This move has given me many sleepless nights....but then you came in and took control.... I have been looking at Vessel Finder and so I can track the Montreal Express...it is so exciting.... My late husband and I used to rent an apartment on Vancouver Island.....and so many times we would see a tug pulling a barge loaded with containers on its way to Alaska, I would often wonder what was inside...now I have an idea... So Thank You for everything

My experience with 1st Move was wonderful, very efficient and it arrived almost a month earlier than they initially expected. Everything was packed in their warehouse and arrived safe and sound. I would use their services again
M Vegas
Canada
Thank you for your professional handling of my shipment, with no damage to the items, and appreciate especially that you have made sure to include all details needed for the move, and guidance in every step of the process. I would recommend this company for any overseas move so that anyone can have piece of mind when looking for an international shipping company.
S Sen
Talsarnau to Halifax, Canada
A great company. I had items shipped to me from the UK to Canada. I must say I was very impressed with 1st Move International from start to finish. This company deserves 5 stars. My items were from my mother's estate and very meaningful to me. They were there for any questions I had. They kept me informed throughout and helped with all the necessary paperwork. Everything was packed carefully and despite having many fragile items, nothing got broken. I would definitely recommend this company for shipping your items overseas.
M Gareau
Crawley to Canada
Everything right from getting the quote to having my belongings arrive in their new country was flawless and they were exceptionally helpful throughout and very competitively priced too.
R Friedman
Reading to Ontario, Canada
I had a great experience with 1st Move International moving my belongings from UK/ Reading to Canada/Ontario. Communications were easy and fast. The guys who packed my stuff were quick and efficient. I had many fragile items that needed an extra care. I was kept informed of each step along the way. Also, the initial quote ended up being slightly less once my things were weighed and packed up which was a bonus! On the Canadian side, I had to go to Immigration to get my stuff released due to some paper work needing to be signed but other than that, it was delivered all in a great condition and nothing missing. I would definitely recommend 1st Move International!
R Azawi
London to Toronto, Canada
Their service is efficient and professional. A smooth running experience.
J Laviolette
West Sussex to ON, Canada
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a question the were quick to reply. The process could have been explained a little clearer but all went well. We were very pleased with the packing and management of our personal property and furniture. Everything arrived intact! We also appreciated the sealed pallets as an added Covid measure. I would have appreciated receiving the list of goods prior to our departure as we needed it to clear customs when we declared it at the airport. It required an extra trip back to the airport, with the list, to complete our declaration. The only disappointment was the time it took to get our belongings. We paid a premium using this company to get our stuff quickly but it still took 6 weeks. I can understand some delay due to Covid but it was more than we anticipated. We also had to pay extra at our end to have it delivered to our residence. Be prepared to possibly pay for customs inspection if your shipment is chosen for inspection . Of course ours was! I think under normal circumstances, if you want your belongings quicker, this is the company to use.
D Belyea

Just wanted to let you know that my shipment arrived safely and has been unpacked. Everything looks great, really happy with the service.
J Pieczonka
Hampshire to Canada
This is the second time I have used 1st Move International to ship my belongings from UK to Canada. Each time has been a 'slick' and easy to understand process to enable my belongings to be organised, collected and delivered to the receiving warehouse in Canada. I would use again in the future.
P Harrington
Mold to Canada
Wow, it's all I can say. From the word go, First move International was there for me, no matter how stupid the question I had. The whole process was done with ease and simplicity, and the whole crew was extremely pleasant. I have already recommended you and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks for making the next leg of my journey a little easier.
R Boulderstone
Gerrards Cross to Canada, Toronto
The goods arrived at our Toronto house yesterday. I am quite amazed at the idea of these household things going from Gerrards Cross in the UK, onto an ocean vessel and arriving at our house. The packing job was excellent. The cost of shipping was more than the goods would have fetched at auction or elsewhere in the UK, but the cost was worth it to the family. My husband’s parents bought the dining room set forty years ago, and were quite proud of it. It will end up at our cottage in Muskoka, where I am sure it will get another forty years of use, if not more. I don’t mind sharing my comments. I found your service through an on-line search that had users comments posted on it. I finally finished unpacking the glassware and porcelain. The only thing that was broken was a hand from a porcelain figurine that I broke while trying to pack it myself. My attempts to pack were re-done by your packers when they came to pick up the goods. I think they were being kind when they said that they have seen worse.
Rita C.
Romford to Paradise NS, Canada
So glad I went with 1st Move International. After reading reviews of many moving companies for my move from the UK to Canada, all of which had horror stories, I selected 1st Move because they palletise the shipment, rather than loose load a container. This felt more secure to me and, having received my shipment, excellently packed and with nothing broken I am glad I went with this option. Whilst I hope not to be moving countries again any time soon, I would use 1st Move International again for sure.
L Hopkins
Camberley to Halifax NS, Canada
I honestly can’t believe how easy they made it to ship a vehicle from the UK to Canada. My brother bought a vehicle online and I agreed to sort the UK side, which I was apprehensive about, but 1st Move were more than happy to deal with us both and also with the seller for collection.
M Offer
London to Montreal QC, Canada
So I moved to Canada, and needed to move all my stuff, including computers/screens/audio equipment and guitars. Overall they were really great! They came to my flat in London, took all my stuff in 15 minutes, and 45 days later, all my stuff was at my door, perfectly packed. Extra care was taken for my guitars and I really appreciate. Not a single item was damaged! I would recommand them to anyone! For me, not a single penny had to be paid over what we agreed.
L Lucas
Watlington to Halifax NS, Canada
Afternoon from rainy Canada! Just wanted to let you know that our furniture arrived yesterday. We would just like to say a massive thank you! You guys have been top notch! Could you pass on our thanks to the packing team? All was packed superbly and all is intact! Would will definitely be recommending you guys!
K Minkus
London to Sherbrooke QC, Canada
Just wanted to let you know that I received everything and I’m really happy. Thanks for taking extra care for my guitars and my screens, I’m now fully ready to work in Canada! Have a nice day.
L Lombard
Southampton to Halifax NS, Canada
I dealt with 1st Move to transport a Citroen 2CV on RORO from Southampton to Halifax. The first thing to mention about 1st Move is the quality, clarity and accuracy of their communication. From the very first email query, it was clear that this was an organization on top of their business. For the year that it took on my side to get things organized, they never pressured me but they reminded me regularly that they were there to help. The car was located and registered in France and I was initially concerned that driving it to Southampton could pose import/export problems but I was reassured over the phone that this was routinely done. I was also worried about the fact that this car is not easy to start but again, 1st Move confidently answered how this would be dealt with. I had clear instructions of where to drop the car off and it turned out to be a very simple process. 1st Move also referred me to a very competent agent in Canada who professionally guided me through the import process. Overall, this has been an excellent customer service experience and I would certainly recommend 1st Move to anyone interested in shipping a vehicle anywhere in the world.
J Bourque
London to Halifax NS, Canada
From England to Canada. We just moved from London, England to Halifax, Canada using 1st Move and were really pleased with how it all went. The packing was extremely efficient and our items arrived exactly when we were told which was brilliant. Boxes I had marked 'fragile / do not put heavy items on top' were at the top of the pile and therefore were treated exactly as I wanted which was great. Highly recommended.
M Putman
Harrogate to Vancouver BC, Canada
Prompt, efficient service. Very impressed.
S Whiffin
Didcot to Vancouver, Canada
1st Move did a great job in communicating with us regarding costs shipping times. The best part was when the container was opened, and our car was very secure, in place, and undamaged. It wasn't even dusty. I just drove away. After 2 months in a container that came from England, all the way, through the Panama canal, and eventually arriving at the Port of Vancouver, It was a pleasure to see it completely intact. Thanks again. Great job!
D Neville
Bodelwyddan to Airdrie AB, Canada
The service I received was fantastic. 2 guys came and wrapped all our belongings and loaded them into the van. Very pleasant men, jovial, made the whole process a pleasure and at this end in Canada we were contacted when the pallet arrived and then delivered at our convenience. Nothing extra to pay, just what we paid upfront.
M Collins
Warrington to Halifax NS, Canada
Fantastic experience, items were packaged carefully to ensure no breakage and arrived in perfect condition. They picked the items from my home and delivered them to the port with excellent communication of how the process would work. Highly recommended.

R Ellchuk

The people at 1st Move served me very well when transporting my car from the UK to Halifax, Canada via RoRo. Even when I threw them the last minute curve-ball of a change of vehicle. They were efficient and professional throughout.
R Armour
Hampshire to Halifax NS, Canada
Fantastic to deal with on the import of my S3. Will be shipping more cars with them this summer.
L Whitman
Barnstaple to Halifax NS, Canada
I have imported a couple vehicles to Canada with these folks and let me tell you. They are the best in the game. Absolutely the best people to deal with. They make sure you have all the paperwork ready and they happen to have some of the best prices. I truly feel like a valued customer every time I call them. I feel I could call them with any issue and they would resolve it for me over the phone. 100% would recommend and I plan on doing business with them in the future. I only hope that our relationship grows!!
c Farmer
Glasgow to Toronto ON, Canada
Thoroughly excellent experience dealing with 1st Move International. Although their quote was a little higher than a few other companies, I cannot argue about the service provided. It has been excellent. The quality of packaging of our belongings makes this entirely worth it. Absolutely everything was extremely well packaged, packed and protected. Nothing was overhanging on the pallets at all and you can tell that every box has been handled with care. Communication has been great throughout the whole process. We even tracked the ship online as it crossed the Atlantic. Our items arrived in Toronto without any issues what so ever, and if we ever feel like moving continents again, we will use 1st Move International again.
A Taljaard
St Leonards On Sea to Montreal QC, Canada
My experience with 1st Move International was great. I am based in Canada and needed to have some items shipped over from the UK. 1st Move International worked with my family member to get the insurance and packing done. Tessa was really helpful. It was also great to see a photo of the package on Facebook, because I was using my own transport to pick up the shipment and it helped with planning. And the ship they gave me to track was the right one (unlike another moving company I used previously). Overall 1st Move International were great to work.
T Gallini
Dorset to Halifax NS, Canada
First contact with 1st Move was well ahead of our scheduled car shipment and I had no idea what was involved. 1st Move offered advice and responded to our queries so promptly it really was a pleasure dealing with them. I thought we had a good experience and would recommend 1st Move to anyone.
C Suter

C Suter
Colchester to Vancouver BC, Canada
I made numerous calls to ask questions before booking and the men were all patient and helpful. The whole process worked well from booking, to delivering at the docks to being informed of the vessel etc. We enjoyed watching the ship cross the Atlantic. Yes I would use you again!

We had a great experience with 1st Move International moving our belongings from London to Toronto. Everyone I spoke to on the phone was super courteous and friendly and any emails I sent were answered within a normal amount of time. The guys who took the boxes & belongings from our house were quick and efficient and we were kept informed of each step along the way. Also, our initial quote ended up being slightly less once our things were weighed and packed up which was a bonus! On the Canadian side, we had to go to Immigration to get our stuff released due to some paper work needing to be signed but other than that, it was delivered all in one piece on the pallet and nothing missing. I would definitely recommend 1st Move International!

P Kiff
Gloucester to Toronto ON, Canada
We received notice of our consignment’s arrival in Mississauga ON on Tuesday Feb. 13th, and collected it yesterday Feb 14th, after clearing customs and the carrier involved. Everything went extremely smoothly, the whole process taking no more than 2 hours. Once back at our residence and the unwrapping completed we are delighted to inform you that all items were in perfect order, not a scratch or dent, it was in the same pristine condition as it was when collected in Minchinhampton, Glos by your staff. My wife and I are delighted, your service and attention to detail was faultless, thank you. We shall certainly recommend your services to all our friends and associates here in Ontario Canada. Very best regards,

N Stevens
Oxford to Toronto, Canada
I paid for kerbside delivery from my apartment in the UK to my apartment in Toronto, Canada. Pick-up was quick and efficient. I was not charged any extra fees on the delivery end and my goods arrived in pristine condition. If I had been slow about declaring my goods with the customs agents, I would have had to pay storage fees. But I was quick about it and didn't have to pay storage fees. I am very happy with the speedy and careful service and I would use this company again.
J Foren
Dyke to Hamilton ON, Canada
A 1st-class, friendly, customer-oriented service. From start to finish 1st Move International demonstrated first-class customer service. Their rep explained the entire process and kept me up to date with regular email communication. I was sent timely and courteous reminders to help me plan my packing and preparation for shipping. When I had to call them, they answered my questions promptly and treated me in a friendly and professional manner. Their movers arrived (I lived in the north of Scotland) exactly on time and carefully packed my goods on their van. Later, I was shown a photo of my goods professionally packed. 1st Move International were so helpful in providing me with forms and advice on how to prepare for my arrival in Canada and subsequent delivery of my goods to my new address. I would have no reservations about recommending them to anyone and would happily use their service again should the need arise.
M Williams

N Brook
Derby to Montreal, Canada
Excellent, quick and reasonably priced! I shopped around to move some family Heirlooms which were priceless to me. I started working with another company and they started to change the rules as the process moved forward. I stopped working with them because I lost trust. I then found 1st Move International. Not only were they nice to work with but my items got here in a fast timely fashion at a reasonable cost. They were very honest about fees as my price was reduced significantly once measured to actual size. 1st Move were very easy to talk to and explained any questions and walked me through the whole process. 1st Move would absolutely be my first chose if I ever needed to move items overseas again and I would totally give them a very strong recommendation.
S Gee
London to Saskatoon, Canada
I have been very happy to have moved with 1st move. As a non native speaker, they have been patient and helped me a lot. Also, everything is organized and you are never in doubt or waiting. You always can track your belongings and I found the facebook page original and reassuring. Thank you to all the team for their support. A happy customer.
K Harder
London to Toronto, Canada
Quality service with great people who care. From the get go, 1st Move inspired confidence, able to answer every question and concern I had. The collection and packing/wrapping team went beyond my expectations... carefully protecting every item. Expertly putting together a solid and secure pallet which was wrapped and everything arrived safely, no breakages. It was wrapped very well in 5 layers and packed very well....shrink wrapped (black), bubble wrapped, Clingfilm wrapped, corrugated cardboard wrapped, Clingfilm wrapped, Fragile items wrapped in extra clingfilm and bubble wrap, Stacked and arranged very well on the pallet, with odd shaped items protected in the centre of the pallet. Shipping was smooth sailing..... left and arrived on schedule. Customs agents this end had all the paperwork prepared and my shipment was a formality getting through customs. Not one item broken.... great to have all our stuff back. Thanks 1st Move - 100% recommended.
R Topping
London to St John NB, Canada
Excellent Service, Explained the process well! We thought moving our things abroad was going to be complex and difficult. 1st move made the whole process very easy and straightforward. They explained the rules well and checked in with us throughout the process. They decoded the customs procedures for us and helped us to meet with officials feeling confident and prepared. Thanks so much!!!

Great Service. My wife and I used 1st Move International to move some household items and personal effects from Southampton UK to Toronto Canada. The whole process was smooth and easy. The team were a great help and showed excellent email and telephone communication, clearly guiding us through the process. On collecting the shipment in Canada it was well packed and none of our personal items had been damaged in any way. This company provides great value for money. We cannot fault this service and would defiantly use them again.
J Smokcum
Birmingham to Winnipeg, Canada
Great experience. In the lead up to the move, the staff were communicative and very helpful with every question I had. They made sure to contact me regularly to check in and make sure everything was running smoothly. On the day, the people who came to pick up my things were prompt, efficient, and friendly. I felt very reassured that everything would be organised and take care of. Great service.
L James
Wisbech to Creston BC, Canada
Customer service, packing..... all excellent. From start to finish I was kept well informed, responses on email understandable and fast. Personal interaction great. Pick up and packaging without a hitch, break or damage. Personnel patient with questions and attempting to solve any misunderstanding on both sides of the ocean. Always kept informed. Would not hesitate to recommend the company.

A Cruttenden
East Kilbride to Kitchener, Canada
Never having shipped anything to another country, I had no idea where to start. 1st Move International took all the guess work out of it. Every step of the way, the team were there to answer all questions, no matter how ridiculous. All emails were responded to the same day, not bad when you consider I am in Canada and all my belongings were in Scotland. Even making the payment was easy. The wonders of the internet! Once the shipment was picked up from Scotland, I was kept informed of its progress the whole way. I loved being able to track the ship across the Atlantic. Many thanks to all at 1st Move International for all their hard work, and for not laughing too much at all my ridiculous "blonde" moments!
J Mandic
Kingsbridge to Onoway, Canada
Great. Thank you and the bodies there, who have been great right through. The Montreal and Edmonton factions were also good, things worked a treat. No nasty surprises from the shipping companies here, in fact the bill for the last bit was a hundred dollars less than the quote. Customs were great and the storage where we're unpacking say they'll take away all the rubbish. The pallets were packed well and everything held together superbly.Take care and give my regards (and apologies where necessary) to your lot.

With no experience of international shipping, I looked on the internet for a company. I picked this one by chance and hoped for the best. So glad I chose them - really don't think I could've got any better. VERY, VERY satisfied with every aspect of their service.
S Jenkins
Oxford to Ottawa, Canada
The pickup in the UK was really fantastic - as was the support before, during, and after the pickup. I felt respected even though I had a relatively small shipment. The company in the destination country (Canada) was good. They contacted me in advance and provided support during the pickup process.
R Dolgoy
Caerphilly to Airdrie, Canada
From start to finish, the whole procedure was amazing. The emails were very informative, the guys that came to the house to pick up the furniture were very friendly. I loved seeing the pictures on Facebook of my packages. What impressed me the most was when the furniture arrived I was able to see how well each item had been carefully packed. Lots of layers and padding! I was like a kid at Christmas unwrapping it all. I would definitely recommend 1st Move International to others. They are a 5 star company!
M Battle
Chalfont St Giles to Digby, Canada
Now that we are back from our holiday and sadly Canada seems a long time and long way away I wanted to thank you all for your help in ensuring the safe arrival of our furniture, and answering my emails and phone calls.

Please pass on my thanks to all your team for the move. The guys today were great, very hard working and very tolerant and good-humoured and flexible and helpful too - even though I was too disorganised to have arranged snacks or lunch or anything! Still here clearing out - Yeeshhh!

We were blown away with the professionalism and care towards us and our belongings. The whole process was seamless from start to finish, with our whole shipment arriving in Canada 2 weeks earlier than anticipated. The packing was so thorough, nothing was broken, and the grandmother clock is now ticking away proudly in our Canadian home. We will recommend you. Thank you!

Morning Tessa, We just wanted to say thank you for the great service we received from your company and its employees, please say thank you to everyone who helped get our shipment out here to Calgary in perfect condition, the shipment was collected yesterday and is now all unpacked in our house. It was a pleasure dealing with someone who is happy and cheerful and obviously enjoys their job. From beginning to end my experience with the people involved was great. I always got an immediate response/answer to any question asked. We will definitely recommend Shipit to anyone that asks. My shipment went from UK to western Canada without a problem. Thanks again.

T Higgins
Manchester to Toronto ON, Canada
I find it hard to fault First Move International. The only glitch was my fault - I forgot to provide an inventory of boxes I packed myself - but this was brought to my attention quickly and courteously, with the suggestion of a number of costed possible solutions. I was able to put it right so there was no delay in the shipment. Apart from the smoothness of the operation, I found the friendliness and competence of everyone I had contact with a tremendous help. They realised that moving overseas is very stressful for the client, especially when, as in my case, it had to be taken from start to finish in a few days. I can recommend them to anyone moving overseas, and would certainly use them myself if ever I have to move again.

Hi Mark, Car got here all in one piece! It looked a little lost among the new B.M.W.s & Porsche's. No problems with the collection at the docks. I’ve also sent you a photo just outside the docks stoping for coffee & one in it's new home with the Porsche you shipped to Alberta a few years ago. Thanks for the great service.

Everything arrived as expected. Thank you for all your help. While moving stuff from one country to another is inevitably complicated, I think you made it all happen smoothly, and kept me well informed of progress.

Although I miss England terribly, I have to thank you and everyone on your staff for how effortlessly and perfectly the move was handled. You kept all your promises regarding dates and costs. My items were carefully wrapped and handled and arrived without any damage. All communication was clear, complete and timely. All correspondence and phone calls were polite and professional. Everyone I dealt with was great. I would recommend 1st Move International to anyone (and have). Cheers,

I have now used 1st Move to ship my personal belongings to Canada for the third time (surely a record of some sort!) Service was as usual cost-effective, efficient and friendly. Particularly impressed this time as had to organize from abroad. Everything arrived amazingly packed and intact. Highly, highly recommended!

I have used 1st Move to ship my things from Uk to Canada. Their service was fantastic and the packing skills impressive. Someone has put a lot of thought into organizing the boxes on the pallet so that the fragile items were safe. All the boxes arrived in good condition and the contents were undamaged. I would definitely recommend 1st Move to anyone considering a move overseas.

I would recommend 1st Move to anyone moving overseas. They have all the timings down to a fine art and the way the put everything securely on the pallette is amazing. My Belongings Arrived in Canada when they said they would and not a thing was damaged. well done 1st Move.
