Rainier Overseas Movers Avis 

It was our first overseas move and we needed help. We had several pieces of furniture and several dozen boxes full of irreplaceable personal heirlooms and mementos that needed to get from Northern Italy to New York. We weren't sure Rainier was the right choice since they're based in the US and move a lot of expats overseas – in the opposite direction. But Don and Danise were awesome from day one. They clearly explained their quote and costs, stepped us through insurance and logistics, and connected us with awesome professional movers in Italy. They kept us updated, including through the brief dockworkers' strike in Oct. 2024. All of our things got here safely and on time. When we went looking for freight forwarding companies, we got quotes from 8 different groups – US based, Italy-based and global – and Rainier made a good impression right from the beginning. They were the clearest and the most thorough in responding to our amateur first-timer questions. (One of the top global logistics companies on earth, Kuehne+Nagel, told us they weren't even in the business of shipping personal goods anymore.) Rainier is really good at what they do, and I'd recommend them 100% to any family with stuff to send OR ship back from overseas.

From the initial contact to delivery of my items in Scotland, Don helped me every step of the way. He helped with the process, the timing schedule, updates and coordination with the delivery in the UK. The items were packed well, and the coordination with the UK delivery was excellent. The UK team was even able to do a split delivery with some of my items going into temporary storage and some being delivered directly to my home at no extra charge. I highly reccomend Rainier Overseas Movers and would certainly use their services again.

My wife and I needed to ship a container to our new home and Chile. We’d never shipped a container before so we were a little uneasy about the process. However, Don and his team walked us through our options and our belongings are now safe inside of our new home. We highly recommend Rainier Overseas Movers! Will most certainly call Don next time!

After searching for months to find the best shipping company for our international move, I finally came across Rainier and they were nothing but outstanding. Chuck Crosslin took care of all the details and both teams either end were extremely thorough, punctual and took great care of our belongings. We ended up having a lot more in our shipment compared to our initial quote and Chuck ensured that the price remained as close to our quote as possible. They also stored our shipment for several weeks in the UK as we couldn’t move into our house straight away. They made the process completely stress free and had no hidden costs like some other companies. 100% would recommend.

We used Rainier Overseas Movers to move from New England to Crete Greece. They were clear in communications as well as expectations. The hand off to the local moving company Gosselin in Belgium, was perfection. We will always recommend these companies to anyone making a big move! Thank you very much 😁

All the professionals at every step of the process were very helpful and skilled. I had a particularly touchy situation due to needing to move a very large number of delicate musical items. Everything was very well wrapped, packed, and transported. High marks to this company!

Rainier exceeded my expectations in performing my move. From start to finish, they handled all the physical logistics – packing, boxing, loading, unloading – as well as all paperwork that I didn't have to do expressly myself.

The quality of the packing and the security of shipment was perfect. I have a large ceramics collection, and not a single item was even cracked.

The ease, speed, and security of the process was impeccable, and I -absolutely- recommend their services.

Relocation from US to UK:
Rainier Overseas took care of my shipment from the Bay Area to UK, in all the process went flawlessly, largely thanks to my representative Chuck Crosslin.

Chuck walked me through the process, from quotation, packing, shipping, customs clearance and delivery. He was always prompt and helpful with his responses, and on top of the process from start to finish!

I have no hesitation in endorsing Rainier Overseas and Chuck Crosslin. I would not hesitate to use them again

Thanks to Rainier Overseas Movers, Inc., in Washington State USA for a perfect door-to-door move from Gig Harbor, Washington, to Brittany, France!
From my initial contact with Dave to staging our shipment to pick-up to containerization to customs and duty on both ends to final delivery in Europe by the pros at Gosselin Groups, everything went like clockwork. There was absolutely no evidence of even the slightest damage to our shipment.
Best of all - the total time door-to-door shipment from Washington State to our house in France was accomplished in 6 weeks. And the bill was precisely what Dave had quoted me, not one penny more.
We couldn't have asked for better service. Our satisfaction level is 10 out of 10.

I used Rainier Overseas (and their fantastic agent Chuck Crosslin) for my move from the US to Spain. I truly appreciated Chuck's professionalism, honesty and reliability. The whole process starting with the packing crew (very efficient and friendly), their agent/partner in the EU (helpful and communicative) to the delivery crew (on-time and very organized) was seamless and stress-free AND the price stayed true to the initial estimate. I would contact Chuck at Rainer Overseas in a heartbeat should I ever need to move again and of course I recommend Chuck to my friends and family. Thank you Chuck for making this a great experience!!

Don and Danise made our move from Seattle to Iceland as easy as an international move could be. It was worth every penny to have their positivity and guidance through the whole process. I highly recommend Rainier Overseas Movers!

We use Rainier to relocate from the US to Ireland.
Communication with Mark from Rainier was good throughout the process, starting from getting the quote, ironing out the details, coordinating the packing and shipping, and finally shipping from Europe to our house in Ireland.
Not only did they do a truly fantastic job, but they also did it at the best price we were offered.
Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Rainier Overseas Movers, specifically Chuck Crosslin and his outstanding team, for our move from Kansas to Italy, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, their service was exemplary.

One of the standout aspects of our experience was the invaluable advice they provided. Chuck and his team offered insights that undoubtedly helped us avoid potential pitfalls throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing we had professionals guiding us every step of the way.

Even when we encountered a change of plans on our end, Rainier Overseas Movers demonstrated incredible flexibility. They pivoted seamlessly, accommodating our needs without any fuss. Moreover, their offer of long-term storage at a reasonable rate was a lifesaver, providing us with the flexibility we needed during a transitional period.

When it came to the actual move, every member of the team was consummately professional. From packing our belongings to delivery, their attention to detail was evident. I'm thrilled to report that not a single item was damaged during transport, a testament to their meticulous handling and care.

Another commendable aspect was their timeliness. Rainier Overseas Movers delivered on their promises, ensuring that our belongings arrived promptly and in pristine condition.

Overall, I cannot recommend Rainier Overseas Movers highly enough. Chuck Crosslin and his team are true professionals who go above and beyond to provide top-notch service. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient moving company, look no further than Rainier Overseas Movers. They made our international relocation a smooth and stress-free experience, and for that, we're incredibly grateful.

In December 2022, my wife was diagnosed with cancer, we moved from Guam to Seattle for treatment.

Throughout 2023, she courageously went through all her required treatment. However, in the latter part of the year, doctors advised us, the treatment wasn't working and she had months to live. On January 10, 2024, my loving wife and best friend of 32 years, and the mother of our two sons passed away.

During the last few months of 2023, I searched out moving company's for quotations to ship our household goods and car back to Guam. I narrowed my search to two company's Rainier and Navis.

Both company's provided me with reasonable quotes, as I thought, for door to door service with Navis being the cheaper of the two. When the time came for the move, Rainier wasn't available on the day I needed, whereas Navis was, so of course I went with them.

They came and their movers were nice respectful young and rather quick about the job. Everything was going well, as I thought.

After returning to Guam, and laying my wife to rest. I called Navis to find out the status of my goods. It was at that time, I discovered that the quote they provided me was not door to door, but door to the port on Guam. So apparently, I was responsible to transport a 20ft container from the port to my house.
And adding further insult, he told me that my goods required a bigger container, and the cost would be $16,500 and it still would not be door to door delivery. I told him there were many transport companies on island he could have coordinated with but he claimed he called and emailed but never received any responses.

So despite all my sadness and depression of losing my wife, and having limited funds, I reached out to a local company named De Witt. They told me they never received a call or emails from anyone from Navis. They then advised me to call Rainier Movers, as they were a company who they have done business with for years and never had any issues.

So I called Rainier again and spoke with Chuck Crosslin. I am not sure what his title is with the company, but today he is my Guardian Angel.

I explained the whole situation to him and within a week, he fixed everything. Here's the most ironic part of it all. Navis charged me only $2,900 for the work they did, while Rainier charged me the difference, to pick up my goods from Navis and to ship it to Guam, all for the same price of what they originally quoted me for. So where and what was that extra $6,000 plus charge for.

In ending, me and my sons are now at peace, albeit bittersweet, knowing that our household goods that contain all of our furniture that my wife picked out, to include all of her personal effects, that we can receive and hold onto as special memories, of their mother, my wife and best friend.

Thank you and God Bless you Mr. Chuck Crosslin, our Guardian Angel. And Rainer Overseas Movers.

This was the best experience ever. Don who works at Rainier moved me from Germany to NY. It was an amazing experience. No issues. They came and packed everything. I received my shipment within 20days. The companies they used in Germany and NY were amazing. Packing and unpacking. It went fast, smooth, professional. Don and his wife made the process so easy. They are very fast in responding to emails or calls. An amazing Company/team. I highly recommend this company.

Chuck Crosslin stewarded us through the process of shipping our household goods from Seattle to Berlin.

Communication was thorough and prompt during the months preceding the move, and throughout the months until it arrived. Their sub-contractor Mitchell did a very professional, efficient and friendly safe packing of all our goods. It was an unexpectedly pleasant experience with both companies; though we were well-organized and prepared which no doubt also helped.

Through no fault of anyone in this process, the shipping took a bit longer due to the Panama Canal water level problems. Despite the delay Chuck stayed in touch, as did the European company handling the move on the continent, Gosselin.

Everything arrived and not a thing, china, photo lenses, crystal, lamps, art work - was damaged in any way. It was beautifully packed to fully protect the contents.

I couldn't recommend Rainier Shipping and Chuck Crosslin more highly. Extremely satisfied with the experience from beginning to end.

Don Arroyo and his team are just fabulous to work with. Incredibly diligent, efficient, cautious with my belongings and easy to work with. I've worked with several moving companies throughout the country and in Mexico and I would highly recommend Rainer!

They did an outstanding job, we moved from Georgia to Guam and everything arrived on time with no damage. The representative, Chuck, assigned to our move did a great job communicating with us and making adjustments when our move was delayed.

From my first contact with the shipping coordinator to my last contact with the movers on the day of the move, everyone was professional, kind, and respectful of our belongings.
It was a pleasure working with Rainier. The high quality of their work and their professionalism they bring to their work means so much to families who are already going through a very stressful situation. To know I had them on the job meant a lot! Highly recommend!

So good I hired them twice! International moves are stressful--but Rainier made mine so much easier. I had two from the US to Europe, the first at the end of Covid times. For the first move I did all the research, called a bunch of companies, had estimates, and Rainier looked like the best. And they came through: one of the best prices, quick to answer any of my questions with patience and good humor (thank you Chuck!), coordinated all the details and managed the paperwork, and used good local companies that were on time, efficient, nice to work with and did great packing and delivery work. For the second move, I didn't need to look around: Rainier was ready and did everything right, again. Thank you, Rainier, for making two difficult moves so much better than I thought they could possibly be!
