Move to the USA

Moving your household goods
to the USA

Looking for a trusted removal partner to handle your international move? Schmidt Global Relocations provides safe, secure, and reliable door-to-door transportation of all your belongings from South Africa to the USA.

We understand how important your belongings are and how big this transition is. That’s why our team keeps you informed throughout the entire process and works only with carefully selected partners who meet our high standards of service and professionalism. Whether you’re moving a full household or only a portion of your belongings, we offer flexible international relocation options tailored to your needs. With our strong and dependable global network, you can expect the same level of quality service in the USA as you receive here in South Africa.

Different freight options to the USA

FCL (Full Container Load)
This option gives you an entire container for your own household goods. It offers faster transit times and full control over your shipment. Typical delivery times are around 6 weeks to the East Coast (e.g., New York) and 8 weeks to the West Coast (e.g., Los Angeles), depending on the final destination.
Groupage Sea Freight
For smaller moves or clients looking for a more cost-effective solution, several families share a single container. This reduces costs but can extend transit times to 10–14 weeks, depending on how quickly containers fill and the final delivery point in the USA.
LCL (Less than Container Load)
Ideal for smaller households. Your belongings are securely packed into a crate or liftvan and shipped as part of a consolidated load. Transit times are usually shorter than groupage, offering a good balance between speed and cost.
Air Freight
If you need your items urgently, air freight is the fastest option, arriving within a few days. This premium service is more expensive but perfect for essential or high-value items you want delivered quickly.

Moving to the USA with Schmidt always meets the following expectations:

Full-service relocation
Flexible and solution-oriented

Personal Service

An international move – we understand that you don’t do that every day. Fortunately we do. To support you optimally – from the first meeting until well after your move – we work with a personal Move Manager. The Move Manager takes care of everything for you during and around your move. He will keep you informed of the status of your move and is your permanent point of contact. This way you always know who to turn to with your questions and requests. It is our personal approach that makes you feel at home.

Family business with high customer satisfaction

High Standards

As a family business, we strive for the highest possible customer satisfaction. That is why we work according to high standards. For example, we always pack your belongings within the agreed time and we make boxes available for things that you hold dear and would like to pack yourself. By working with our own people and cars, we guarantee that your belongings are packed, handled and transported with care. And outside the European continent, we work with trusted partners who meet the same high standards as we do. Everything to make your international move as comfortable as possible.
