Ton van Bakel *****
Pleasant and smooth communication in the Netherlands and Thailand. Contact in Thailand was easier than expected. Friendly, helpful drivers in both the Netherlands and Thailand.

Koen Brekelmans *****
I had never sent a large package overseas before; I received fantastic assistance. Door-to-door service!

Dutch Sisters *****
Very pleasant and friendly cooperation. Clear for people who have no experience with shipping. Highly recommended!

Bert & Brigitte *****
This is the 2nd time Sercon Shipping has organized our household belongings for our emigration. We are very content, excellent communication, and fair pricing. Thanks guys! Bert & Brigitte.

Peter and Mirjam den Doph *****
We wanted to do as much as possible ourselves to save costs. We succeeded with Sercon Shipping! We packed our boxes ourselves and took them to Rotterdam. Sercon Shipping handled the shipment to Israel and customs. We picked up the boxes ourselves in Haifa. Having everything done by a moving company is extremely expensive; this was ideal! Joost de Bruijn *****
Sercon Shipping provided excellent service and responded very well and quickly to questions I had. They arranged everything from picking up the container, storing it, re-certifying it, and shipping it to Canada. Communication was clear and prompt, and timelines were always met or exceeded. A big compliment to Arno from Sercon Shipping. His service is highly recommended.

Scar Motto *****
This was the first time I had a shipment transported from the USA by Sercon Shipping. It went great and everything ran flawlessly; the service is top-notch, and I was well guided. Highly recommended, and I won't be going to anyone else anytime soon!

Kleine Pelikaan *****
Recently, I had to ship a very delicate work of art from Bristol to the Randstad. I embarked on this adventure together with the people at Sercon Shipping in Rotterdam. I was completely taken care of in managing the bureaucratic paperwork (thanks to Brexit) and organizing careful transport. I wholeheartedly recommend the services of these friendly Rotterdammers and... I would gladly do business with them again in the future! Mela Gadjigo ****
Sercon helped me well with a shipment of 10 boxes to Norway. As a private individual with no experience shipping outside the EU, it was nice to have a dedicated contact person who was usually available by phone. Only signing the customs forms caused stress, because we didn't receive them until the evening before the boxes were due to be picked up. At that time, we didn't have a scanner, and the photos taken with a mobile phone were not accepted.. But this could also have been due to the carrier.

Frigo Alberto *****
Out of the dozens of companies we have contacted, Sercon was the only one ready to follow us. If you are a private individual and need to import goods into the Netherlands, this is the company for you!

Madelief Debeij ****
Here it is; the review. As a private individual, I had a small shipment sent from Australia to the Netherlands during Covid times. Super friendly movers at the door in both Australia and the people who came to deliver the items in the Netherlands. As a private individual, I was a bit surprised by the box everything arrived in, but we were very satisfied with the good condition our belongings arrived in. Communication with Arno was clear and to the point. We would have preferred it if the moving costs had been included in the quote, but that is a minor detail. Should we ever need to do business with you again, we would gladly do business with you.

Sneeker Family *****
Shipped a sea container due to a move to Dubai. What an experience! We had everything handled by this team, absolutely everything: packing household contents, loading the container, shipping, customs, insurance. And in Dubai, their agent drove the container to our house, unpacked it, and brought all the items inside neatly. Very satisfied, absolutely top-notch! Ten stars, but unfortunately I can only give five ;)

Donna Lubin *****
Have done good business with Sercon twice already. Clear and pleasant guidance on their part. The contrast is huge compared to the American partner companies we (also) had to deal with! Difficult to reach, long waiting times, and unclear extra costs - but Sercon can do little about that, and it only shows how careful they are. Thanks, Arno!

Junior Stuger *****
Very good service from A to Z. They kept me constantly informed about the whereabouts of my shipment and also about which local costs I didn't have to pay twice.

Jeanine Horvath *****
In times of “COVID,” it is best to stay flexible.
Mr. Arno Bos kept me informed, and I am happy to say, my crate has arrived! Unbeatable to have door-to-door service from a small country town in the Netherlands to a rural town in the USA. Emails were promptly answered by Mr. Bos and his customs agent, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommend and would do it all over again.

 

Kees Jansen ****

Mostly satisfied. Official handling, both in the Netherlands and in Mauritius, was well arranged. However, it was annoying that we only knew the final price after the items were already in transit (significantly more expensive than expected). There was some damage to a cabinet, and five glasses and two cups were broken. We suspect this happened during pre- or post-transport.

Peter Van Katwyk *****
We shipped a large crate from a small city in western Canada to a small city in the Netherlands through Sercon and are very satisfied with the service. We had no experience in this, but Arno was patient in helping us through each step of the way.

Evelien van Reekum *****
Top service! From start to finish, I could ask any question and felt a sense of trust with this company. I would definitely recommend it.

Jeroen van Dijk *****
It was the first time for me to have a large package shipped from China. Everything went smoothly, and I was well guided by Arno, who took on virtually all the work. Klaus de Post ****

A deceased uncle in South Africa left me some belongings; I ended up with these people through word of mouth and had the items picked up via their agent in Cape Town, shipped to Rotterdam, and delivered in Sittard. Everything went smoothly, including the customs matters. I can recommend them.

Didier Pettinga *****

We shipped four boxes of possessions from Utrecht to New Zealand with Sercon. Throughout the process, they provided timely and accurate assistance and made the process very easy.

Jurrian & Marielle van der Straaten *****
Recently had two pallets of personal goods shipped from Thailand to the Netherlands. This went very smoothly; everything arrived in good condition (no damage) and at a reasonable price. Arno Bos was our contact person, and he was professional and friendly. Conclusion: a good and reliable company.

Richard van Rijssen *****
Great experience with this company, and I certainly recommend it. Excellent guidance during the shipment of personal goods from New Zealand to the Netherlands, especially regarding the necessary paperwork. Everything was arranged perfectly! Thanks, Arno. Bram van Os *****
Excellent company with great employees, and sublime service! As a private individual, I used their services to move my personal belongings from the United Arab Emirates to the Netherlands. Even though it involved a "small volume" transport, I received excellent assistance. My special thanks go to Arno Bos, who helped and informed me throughout the entire process; no question was too crazy or too much. Clear communication and good guidance throughout the whole process. My only involvement was filling out the packing lists, packing the boxes, and providing the required documentation for customs formalities. Otherwise, I had no worries or involvement regarding the transport. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company.

Cynthia Garton *****
I recently used Rotterdam-based Sercon Shipping to send a pallet of personal effects from the Netherlands to New Zealand. Arno Bos was extremely helpful, promptly providing me with all relevant information and advice on my options, as well as a fair quote to use his company’s services. He was clear with communication and kept me fully informed of the process, including the timing for the collection of my goods. He also provided me with all relevant paperwork to ensure a smooth delivery of my goods to the local agent upon arrival in New Zealand. Nothing was too much trouble for Arno — he kindly honored the company’s original quote for their services despite price increases as a result of the global pandemic. He also informed me of any delays that were occurring. I would not hesitate to recommend Arno and his team and would definitely use Sercon Shipping again in the future.

Vincent Spieringhs *****
Top company! As a private individual, I used the service to import a machine from China. I received exceptionally good assistance. Clear communication and guidance throughout the entire process. As a result, I was completely relieved of the burden and everything proceeded according to agreements. Highly recommended!

Jacqueline *****
Finally found a company that was willing and able to transport my 10 moving boxes from Alkmaar to Denver (USA). I ​​brought the boxes to Rotterdam myself; Upon arrival, they were loaded onto a pallet, wrapped securely in plastic film, and shipped like that. It went smoothly and was delivered neatly to the sidewalk in Denver. I'll use this company again next time! Five stars!

Eric Swinkels *****
Great company to arrange your international move with. I used them myself for moving household goods from Eindhoven to the USA. They are very skilled and have a lot of patience to fulfill your specific wishes. Highly recommended!

Eveline van Beek *****
Friendly service and clear communication. Calling is faster than email, and with a brief consultation, all my questions were quickly resolved.

 

Helena and Antoon *****
Excellent address for private shipping to New Zealand. Over the years, we have used Sercon's services several times. Possibly going back to the early years. And always very satisfied with the professional and reliable service you provide! Arno (and team), thanks for the patience and once again for your help in this – for us – problem-free and smooth handling.

Millie Lijbers *****
Communication was fast and very clear. For a complicated job to America involving a theater set, this was an ideal service! And they have a lot of patience for all your questions :) definitely recommended!

Peter van der Neut *****
I am really SUPER happy with the service, and I wholeheartedly recommend these professionals. Everything went like a dream and I definitely plan to do business with Sercon Shipping again! Professional!

Edwin Briels *****
Great company that got my car shipped from Rotterdam to Calcutta!

Herman van Alkemade *****
Best place to send household goods from the USA to Europe at a very good price. Was pleasantly surprised by the top-notch service they provide. They ship in groupage, so if you have items that are well-packed or not prone to damage, this is half the price of a professional mover.

Bob Hulsebosch *****
Package from the US was delivered perfectly. Good communication and reliable. Highly recommended if you want to have something shipped as a private individual.

Fabian Blumenfeld *****
I am very satisfied with the service. Clear communication, and all agreements were honored.

Quint Hamerslag *****
For shipping our container of household goods from Rotterdam to Ponta Delgada in the Azores, we asked Sercon to handle everything. And we are extremely satisfied with the cooperation. Good communication and everything clear and well organized.

Jan Willem van Petegem *****
We were helped perfectly from A to Z with our move to Madeira!

Toby Kuepers *****
Top service provided by this company! Helped from A to Z with the import of goods from China. Super fast and friendly service! Thanks again Arno!

Fred Leeflang *****
Good experience, fair treatment, reasonable price, good communication.

Samir Raiss *****
Now this is what I call a Top Company! They arrange everything down to the last detail. At first, I was looking for a good company for my containers for a long time and no one was clear or could respond quickly, but this company: Sercon, wow, what service and communication. If you have to give a rating between 1-10, I give a 10,000; I don't even think you can give a rating, it is that good! Have you ever seen a company that arranges everything for you, even at night? Companies in the Netherlands should take an example from this!

Juliana Rose *****
The handling of our door-to-door shipment to Thailand went very efficiently and professionally, and the communication throughout the entire process was excellent. Arno answered all our questions quickly. Communication with the Thai agent went smoothly and the shipment was delivered undamaged and on time.

 

Tiemen and Haelyn Buurma ****
Shipping from the Netherlands was well organized. Extremely helpful and good communication. Super good truck driver. Receiving the container in Trinidad was a particularly complicated process, which drove the costs up significantly. Demurage is 100 USD per day. My advice for shipping and importing personal goods is to be well informed about customs requirements. Sercon helped us well.

Christel Gommans *****
I searched high and low for a company that could handle the shipment of our personal goods to the US at a reasonable price and without too much hassle. Private Shipping was actually the only company that could help with that. Everything went smoothly and everything arrived intact. Bert Bast *****

A tricky job: the cargo (a large quantity of musical instruments) became increasingly bulky over time; at first, it seemed like a problem to meet the packaging requirements, but Arno expertly and kindly guided me through this maze, and everything is now sailing towards Mexico, thanks!

Martine de Bruyne *****
Second time container with personal goods shipped to Dakar. Very satisfied twice, thanks to Arno Bos.

Tim *****
Professional, friendly, and reliable!

Peter Van Oort *****
I am very satisfied with how Mr. Arno Bos arranged everything for us to deliver our container to Guldental, and the driver was also fantastic with the delivery, right on time and without any problems.

Vincent Schutte *****
Super service and help with our move to Portugal, pleasant communication and always a quick response!

Michiel Tielen *****
Successful import of classic cars, personal contact, and well-organized. Definitely recommended for anyone who, like me, is unfamiliar with container transport. Arno Bos, thank you for the excellent care and clear communication!

Fam. Bruinsma *****

We had a container that needed to go from China to the Netherlands, and they arranged the internal logistics right to the door. Everything went flawlessly, quickly, and professionally. We are very satisfied with their service. If we need to have more containers transported in the future, we will certainly work with them again!

Abigail Davis *****
Received great service from Arno Bos. He was very helpful and professional from start to finish. Communication was excellent, and he was always available whenever we needed him. Highly recommended!

Chris Lubke *****
Our emigration went quite smoothly, and the shipping of our belongings in the 40ft sea container was arranged perfectly, partly thanks to Arno Bos. Arno was always there for us when we needed him; we experienced it as a very pleasant collaboration, and I can truly recommend Sercon for embarking on such an adventure. Good price and top-notch communication.

Corrie Boltje *****
Very easy contact, both in the Netherlands and in America. Arrangements made in consultation and transport was excellent. Very satisfied; delivered perfectly.

 

Aalbert Leuverink *****
Good experience shipping a container from Australia to the Netherlands. Very good communication and fast and correct handling.

Arjan Leeuw *****
Super good service! Everything was arranged very well for our move to Spain. Dear people, thank you very much for the pleasant cooperation! Regards, Fam. Leeuw

Kaiyuan Ye *****
Excellent service. Everything runs smoothly, exactly as agreed at the beginning. Questions via email are answered the same day or the next day. Sercon is a very efficient and reliable agency. Although I do not live in the Netherlands, I trust the contact person there. Arno, in particular, deserves my thanks.

G v R *****
Container with personal goods sent to New Zealand. This went smoothly under the guidance of Arno Bos. Many thanks!

Berry Kruijning *****
Sercon Shipping provided excellent service when I had to ship a piece of heirloom furniture from the Netherlands to the US. Arno Bos guided the process professionally with timely emails, detailed information, and accurate documentation. Whenever I was worried about the timing, he responded to my emails within 24 hours and reassured me. I really felt like I was in good hands, and he even sent me photos of the crate they had built around the cabinet. Sercon handled all the paperwork and guided me through the process with the receiving shipping company here in the US. In a time of personal need, it was reassuring to know that I was being well taken care of. I received the cabinet yesterday in top condition! Thank you very much for your amazing service and for making this process run smoothly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sercon for personal shipping needs.
