I can’t say enough good things about this Moving Team. They came to pick up our son & daughter in laws belongings for shipment to Germany and the experience was outstanding from the start….Fenulus, walk y & Andrew Inspected every already packed boxes, and if they felt it wasn’t “safe enough”, they re-packed it! They handled everything with great care and took the time to properly wrap and secure each item for International shipping. We were very impressed, and it also gave us piece of mind knowing that they’re belongings were being so carefully protected for the long journey. I will highly recommend this crew to anyone planning to move near or far ☺️ THANK YOU for making this important transition so much easier for our family ❤️ Mayleen Chadwick

Very professional guys. Alvaro, Leo, and Staver were nice and professional. One thing that company did not mention was that there was a 1 cubic meter volume limit for the air freight in addition to the 500 lb limit that was mentioned. By the way, the weight of pallet 50 lbs counts toward 500 lb limit and this was not mentioned either.

They were prompt, communicative, and flexible when it came to packing items for my international move. They clearly had the background knowledge needed to know which items could be shipped and how to ship them. Would definitely recommend them!

Overall, our international move was a nightmare. The only exception to all the issues would be Doug’s Moving Crew! Doug and Graham managed to unload, unpack, reassemble, and clean up in record time. Not only were they fast, but they were friendly. My overall experience did not go smoothly, but these two men made the move in process pain free. I highly recommend them for any moving job.

Outstanding Move-In Experience with Suddath - Shoutout to Devon, Justin & Cristian!**
Suddath handled the US leg and final delivery/unpacking for our international move to Orlando, and they absolutely exceeded all expectations! The entire team was fantastic, but we especially want to recognize the incredible trio who managed our unload and unwrapping: **Devon Atwell, Justin, and Cristian**.
These three were an absolute **dream team**! They arrived promptly and worked tirelessly, efficiently, and with fantastic attitudes. Unwrapping and placing furniture and boxes is a huge job, but Devon, Justin, and Cristian tackled it with impressive speed, meticulous care, and constant smiles. They were incredibly respectful of our new home, careful with every item, and went above and beyond to place things exactly where we needed them. Their positive energy, professionalism, and teamwork made what could have been an overwhelming day actually enjoyable.
Suddath clearly hires top-notch people. The overall coordination was excellent, the truck arrived as scheduled, and the entire unloading/unpacking process was smooth thanks to Devon, Justin, and Cristian's hard work. They are a huge credit to Suddath! If you're moving to Orlando, request this fantastic crew – you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Suddath, and a massive THANK YOU to Devon, Justin, and Cristian for making our move-in day perfect!

Subject: Outstanding Service by Javier, Haydee, and Yair
I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and recognition for the exceptional work done by Javier Santiago, Haydee Rodriguez, and Yair Florez today. Their level of professionalism was beyond impressive, and they truly set the bar high for moving and packing services.
From the moment they arrived—right on time—they showed incredible efficiency, working quickly yet with such precision and care to ensure every single item was handled delicately and packed securely. Their attention to detail and expertise were evident in how perfectly they organized everything, from fragile items to bulkier ones. I was genuinely amazed by the thoughtfulness and skill they brought to this process.
What truly stood out to me was their outstanding customer service. Each of them, Javier, Aidee, and Yair, demonstrated kindness, patience, and respect throughout the entire experience. They not only completed the job flawlessly but also created a sense of trust and peace of mind during what can often be a stressful process. Their positive attitudes and friendly demeanor made the day so much easier for my family and me.
They are an absolute credit to your company. I cannot thank them enough for making this step in our move to India such a smooth and stress-free experience. Their dedication, expertise, and professionalism deserve the highest praise, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in need of packing or moving services.
Please pass on my heartfelt gratitude to them for their incredible work. You are fortunate to have such outstanding individuals on your team!
Thank you once again for such an exceptional service.
Best regards,

Tommy and Henry helped us pack and load our air shipment for an international move. They were incredibly professional, courteous, efficient, and careful. We are still amazed at how well they organized our belongings to fit into the one container. It’s a huge relief to know that we can move the items that are important to us. Thank you!

They did the pack out for our overseas move back in June, the crew did extremely well packing our belongings, even the company that delivered at our destination commented on how well everything was packed. Only a handful of damages, which is nothing on a move like this. Highly recommend!

Why Choose a Professional for Your Move From the U.S. to Japan?
Navigating Complex Customs and Regulations
Japan has strict, specific rules for importing household goods. When comparing international moving companies for Japan, it's critical to ask about their customs clearance process. Our role is to manage customs clearance and documentation to prevent costly delays or rejection of goods at your destination.
Any move comes with damage risks, especially over a 5,000+ mile journey. Suddath provides professional packing, crating and transit insurance to move your belongings across the Pacific safely.
Avoiding Hidden Costs and Delays
A single, up-front quote from a reputable moving company is more cost-effective than dealing with multiple vendors and unexpected port and storage fees. With one point of contact, you know exactly what's happening every step of the way.
