How Our Removals to USA from the UK Work
When relocating to the USA, your belongings can be shipped via sea or air freight, tailored to your preferences and timeline. White & Company offers two flexible shipping solutions:
Part Load Removals to USA
Ideal for smaller shipments or budget-conscious moves, our part-load service ships your belongings in a shared container with other customers’ items. You only pay for the space you use, making this a cost-effective choice. While part-load deliveries may take slightly longer due to container consolidation, it’s an excellent option if your move isn’t time-sensitive.
Full Load Removals to USA
For larger relocations, our full-load container service offers maximum flexibility and faster transit times. You’ll have exclusive use of a container, giving you more control over your move schedule. Although typically more expensive than part-load, the dedicated container space and quicker delivery make it an ideal solution for comprehensive removals to USA.
Once packed, our UK removals team collects your items and transports them to our export depot. From there, your container is shipped directly to the US port closest to your destination.

How Long Do Removals to the USA Take?
The time it takes for your goods to leave the UK and arrive in the United States is largely determined by the shipping method you choose, as well as the specific destination you are moving to in the country.
Sea freight times from the United Kingdom to the United States are approximately 4-6 weeks for a full-load or 7-10 weeks for our part-load service. It is also important to keep in mind that you will also need to allow extra time for customs clearance. Our crew of professional packers will typically take 2-4 days to pack and load a container, depending on the size of your move. Below is a table displaying the average timeframe expected for goods to leave the UK and arrive in the States.
| Destination: | Full Load: | Part Load: |
|---|---|---|
| New York | 16 Days | 6 Weeks |
| Los Angeles | 35 Days | 8 Weeks |
| Chicago | 25 Days | 6 - 8 Weeks |
| Dallas | 23 Days | 6 - 8 Weeks |
| Philadelphia | 20 Days | 6 - 8 Weeks |

Insurance for Removals to USA
When shipping belongings internationally, adequate coverage is essential. White & Company provides MoveProtect, a contractual liability solution designed specifically for removals. By declaring a Maximum Replacement Value for your goods, MoveProtect determines liability for loss or damage. Opting into MoveProtect increases coverage proportionally, while declining defaults to limited liability capped at £40 per item.

Preparing for Your Move to the USA
The USA remains one of the top destinations for UK expats, offering diverse cities, excellent career opportunities, and attractive lifestyles. From affordable housing in Texas to vibrant lifestyles in California, there’s something for everyone.
However, costs vary widely across locations, with major cities like New York and Los Angeles typically pricier. Despite this, the opportunities, lifestyle, and quality of life make moving well worth considering. Just prepare yourself for minor cultural differences—your love for beans on toast and Marmite might raise a few eyebrows!
Relocating your home across the Atlantic can seem overwhelming, but White & Company simplifies removals to USA, handling every detail safely and efficiently.
