Why Thousands Lump Sum Transferees Trust Arpin

Michael Roche
Michael Roche5 STARS
“I selected Arpin based on customer testimonials, industry certifications and their specialty in cross-Atlantic moves to Spain. Arpin was able to coordinate and secure all the components of our move working within a one-month window due to a tight home sale closing period. I found their customer service representatives in the U.S. and Spain to be professional and personable. Their moving vendors' staff, both in the U.S. and Spain were efficient and effective - all our possessions arrived intact with all packing materials taken away. I would recommend Arpin International to any family embarking on an international move.”

"Everything went as we expected, and the delivery team brought our furniture into the apartment quickly and efficiently. From the items we have been able to inspect so far, everything appears to have arrived in very good condition. Many of our household belongings are still boxed, so we will continue to assess everything over time. Based on what we have seen so far, we are very pleased with the service. What truly stood out throughout this entire experience was the human aspect of the company. From start to finish, we were treated with kindness, compassion, professionalism, and respect. Moving internationally can be stressful, but the team consistently made us feel supported and valued. The logistics and coordination were handled smoothly, but it was the people behind the process who made the biggest difference. Their communication, patience, and genuine care turned what could have been a challenging experience into a positive one. We are grateful to everyone involved and would not hesitate to recommend their services to others planning an international move."

"We used Arpin for a shipment from New York to Italy and were very happy with their services. All the people involved at all the different levels were very competent and professional . They did a great job!"

"Very pleased with the service provided by Arpin International Group, including outstanding customer service and assistance related to our international move from Texas to Puerto Rico. While PR is part of the US, since items were shipped over international waters the move was quite complicated. Taylor J. Arpin and his team managed the coordination throughout, including packing, transportation, shipping from port-to-port, customs, delivery and unpacking of items and clean up of moving materials. They were reasonably priced, provided great advice to minimize cost and were quick to respond to calls and emails, even during weekends. I highly recommend using them for all moving needs."

"The Arpin International team delivered a fantastic job when they helped me to relocate twice in 2.5 years, once moving from UK to US, and then back again. The team was always on time, efficient, polite and helpful, no damage was done during the packing/ unpacking process. Thank you for your help, which made the whole process a lot easier for me. I would highly recommend."

"I thank everyone from all the companies involved for all the hard work, much of it I'm not even aware of because it went so smoothly behind the lines. I cannot begin to imagine all the logistics involved in such a grand move with so many components in flux. Everyone performed their jobs flawlessly with professionalism."

"Arpin moved me and my family from the UK and it could not have gone smoother, their agents were incredible and the crews were top notch and it took great care or our stuff. Our Move coordinator kept us updated throughout and helped guide us through the entire process and coordinate everything to arrive on time. They are truly experts in International relocation and will even help you through the documentation process and making everything is in under to not run into problems at customs I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a high quality and stress free move."

"The movers are beyond helpful, careful, and friendly. They really take care of all of your belongings, and if issues arise (at the border, at your residence, etc.) they are super helpful and quick to respond. A special thanks to Jeanette, the move coordinator who was assigned to me - she made all the headaches of moving overseas be effortless! Thank you!"

"Moving locally is stressful, but you can usually rely on word of mouth to find a reputable local moving company. Moving across the country is an entirely different situation. That is where Arpin comes in. I've used Arpin to relocate from CA to GA and from GA to NV. Both times I was a private-pay customer. My representatives were friendly, incredibly responsive, and happy to answer questions over and over to address any anxiety about such a big move."

“The best company I have ever moved with. The communication was excellent and they were flexible, polite and accommodating. All my questions and concerns got answered quickly. Nothing got damaged during the move which is almost a miracle considering the huge distance (I moved to Taiwan). I gave only 4 stars though because of slight delays on both moving days. Additionally, the company they contracted to pick up my things in Iowa seemed to be a bit confused (e.g., they thought I was moving to Paris).”

“Huge shout out to Arpin International Group for the amazing job they did moving me and my family from San Diego to Barcelona. They made the whole process simple, and really helped take the stress of moving our lives to another country off. The movers were kind, and the care they showed to our belongings made me feel they were moving their own items. Thank you so much! Highly recommended.”

“Dear Peter, Thank you very much for your kind email. An email like yours says a lot about the quality and customer care of your company. My experience in the past was beyond excellence, and I look for the same on this new journey.”

“Hi, Thanks for the email response. We had a really good experience with the move here (Hamburg, Germany), which was organised and paid for by my company. However we are moving back without company support.”
Melinda TiltonRepeat Customer
“Hi Peter, Thank you so much for reaching out! We had such a wonderful experience with Arpin International on our international move, first in 2020 and then in 2023, so you were the first company I thought of for a domestic move. Thank you very much for the quick follow-up!”
Piotr GrabińskiRepeat Customer
“Hi, Thank you for quick response. I've been using your services back in July 2018 when I was moving with John Deere company from Poland to Germany. Now, I am moving back, this time w/o John Deere. I am trying to arrange transportation of some of my stuff. I reminded myself that I had really good experience with ARPIN. Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you.”
Ana CarolinaRepeat Customer
“Arpin handled my move from Brazil to the USA in 2015, exactly 10 years ago! I’ll be relocating, with my family, from Jersey City, NJ, to Los Angeles, CA, in early October. I mentioned to my husband that I wanted to reach out to the same company that managed my move back then because they did an outstanding job. That’s the power of great customer service, it truly stays with you. I’m happy to know Arpin also handles domestic moves, and I’m looking forward to working with you.”
Maciej SzczerbaRepeat Customer
“We're more than happy to be using your services again. I've moved once on my own before with Arpin, Hayley moved with me in December with you, and then, this time, we couldn't be more happy with how kind and helpful you've been throughout ☺️ It really means a lot and it tells us everything we need to know about how important this company is to you. So if there's a next time, it's going to be a no-brainer!”

“Hi Jessica, We received the signed documents, thank you very much. Now that this journey is coming together, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank all of you for the service and support you provided during my international move. Relocating to another country is much more than transporting belongings. It means moving memories, closing one chapter, and starting another. Throughout this process, your team helped make what could have been overwhelming feel manageable. I truly appreciate the professionalism, patience, coordination, and care shown at every stage. Please extend my gratitude to everyone involved, including the people working behind the scenes whose efforts are often unseen but deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping me bring not just my belongings, but a part of my life safely to its new home in Italy. With sincere appreciation and gratitude.”
Albert KafkaNew Customer
“Thank you for the excellent service. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition and nothing was missing. The GPS tracker was really a wonderful tool and it was excellent. The experience with you was amazing and one of the best I’ve had. Thank you for such a great move.”
Marcello ForteNew Customer
“What a nice touch to send this email Peter [Arpin]. I appreciate your email and feel really good about our choice. We picked you because of Taylor [Arpin]. He has been so communicative and kind. We talked to 7 different companies and Taylor was the ONLY one who impressed me in this way. Our picking Arpin is 100% because of Taylor"
Silvia GiancontieriNew Customer
“My experience with Arpin was flawless. The process and communication with Arpin personnel involved in my move was always reliable. Can’t ask for more. I made a couple of mistakes in the process and the company moved to fix them with minimal help on my side. Thank you for your help.”
Annie OjileNew Customer
“Buongiorno, Taylor! Just wanted to say it has been an absolute pleasure arranging this move with you. Your customer service & attention to detail is wonderful! Just a quick note to say the packing & loading went EXCEPTIONALLY WELL!!! Stefania's team were everything I needed and more. So precise, professional and actually really fun. Everything fit into the lift van! It's fascinating how they do it.”
Celeste McLeodNew Customer
“Hello & Good Morning, Taylor, Jessica & Gerri! I wanted to take a minute and applaud you! What a wonderful experience!!! The team was on time and even a bit early, which is always so great! The packing moved along quickly with items being well wrapped, taped, labeled and inventoried. The crew was spectacular! Very personable, inquiring regarding what stayed and went, checking that all was as it should be. Gerri did a fabulous job supervising and managing the paperwork. I’m so pleased that I found you! Great experience! A few action shots for you to enjoy! Thanks so much!! Job well done!!”
Beatrijs ElsenNew Customer
“Now that my shipment has safely arrived in Belgium and everything has been unpacked, I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to you and to the wider Arpin network. This may not have been a particularly complex move from a logistical standpoint, but it was an important one for me. It involved personal belongings that have travelled with me across several countries over the past thirty years, and it marked my return home after three decades abroad. I appreciated the care and professionalism shown throughout. Thank you all again!”
Annie OjileNew Customer
“Ciao, Taylor! So nice to hear from you! I was going to write to you today. The container's arrival was truly PERFECT and actually so fun. The team Joe & Reese were really exceptional – I hope you can relay that feedback to AAA moving! I will leave a review for them as well. I have been singing your/Arpin praises for weeks! I truly couldn't be happier with the entire moving process. You all are so professional with excellent customer service! You specifically really put me at ease for the biggest move of my life ❤️ I truly can't thank you enough, Taylor.”
Daniel PuissantNew Customer
“Dear Jennifer, dear Iva, I have the great pleasure to let you know that everything went super smooth, and there was no damage nor anything missing…I want to take this opportunity to thank you both, as the move was very easy and your team did a fantastic job in coordinating and communicating, and overall, the experience was well above my expectations. So, kudos to all of you on the US side, including the local movers who picked up my stuff in New York City. I am very happy with your services and support.”

“Dear Jessica and Taylor, I wanted to thank you both, and the wider Arpin team, for your support throughout Francesca’s move. I am very pleased to hear that the delivery went smoothly and that her belongings arrived safely. Thank you as well for your responsiveness, patience, and professionalism in managing the various issues that arose along the way. Francesca has been through an exceptionally difficult period, and being reunited with her belongings means far more to her than a simple delivery. It represents an important step in helping her feel settled and begin moving forward again. Your cooperation was genuinely appreciated, and I am glad that we were ultimately able to bring the move to a positive conclusion for her. I look forward to continuing to work together on future international relocations.”
