DO NOT USE SCHUMACHER TO SHIP YOUR CAR! They bait and switch. I booked with Schumacher to ship my 2021 C8 Corvette from Virginia to Belgium. I was told there would be a 2-4 week consolidation period and then my car would ship. They sent a third party transport to pick my car up on 17 October and I flew to Belgium on 18 October. I had no communication from Schumacher letting me know my car had shown up at their yard at all. Their website is horrible and they don't update it. My car said it was pending pickup at my house for over a month after they had it picked up. I emailed and called Schumacher several times and the story was always "We are waiting on one more car to complete the container. If you want to pay more we can ship it now." I had already paid them $4000 so I wasn't looking to pay them any more. I am at 8 weeks now and I was just informed my car is booked on a ship sailing on 29 January 2024. It will have been 4 months when I get my car and I am sure there will be additional fees on this side. Just for reference, I shipped another car on the same day, 17 October, with a US government contracted company (IAL) and that car showed up on 28 November.

Never ever again !
The worst logistics company, I have seriously dealt with in 50 years of business.
In August, I purchased a car from Bonhams auction at Pebble Beach, which I needed to transport home to New Zealand.
Promoting and offering this service on site, was Warren Barnes [VP] from Schumacher, who quoted me US$1k to LA then US$3k to NZ.
He said I had nothing to worry about, just leave it all to him, which I thought at the time was great.
After that I had real difficulty getting a hold of him, he didn't answer his phone to calls or texts, to the point, I thought he had given me the wrong no.
Then we received an invoice for US$5K - I replied to Warren and informed him what he had quoted, [$4k] his response to this being, it was an accounting error, and passed a US$1K credit, we then paid the agreed US$4K in full immediately.
After that, there was no updates or communication, until I had a motor bike and 5 x tires, I wanted to also come to NZ.
when I eventually got a hold of him" I asked if he could arrange collection of these, which were in a store in LA, where our car was also in their storage awaiting shipment.
This clearly proved to be just too hard for him; from that point, he just didn't answer his phone or emails and actually said " He forgets texts " It appeared obvious, that he really wasn't that interested, and it didn't look like our car was going to be shipped anytime soon.
I thus asked whether, he would prefer us to make alternative arrangements, to ship our car and goods, which he agreed, he would prefer and in fact, said he was "Super Happy" for us to do so, this was on October the 3rd.
We then arranged for another shipper to collect the car and in turn, asked for our US$3k Back.
On October the 5th, WB advised he had processed the refund.
On October the 16th, as we had not seen the funds returned, we enquired, as to when we could expect them.
He replied with, "refunds normally take a month " to process and we should see it around the 4th of November.
On October the 27th our accounts lady enquired as to progress on the above.
We in turn received a reply, stating it was now in the hands of their payables, "but it wasn't due until November the 4th."
Further if it didn't make the list for payment on Friday, it would be the following Friday.
This email was tagged with "that they were also deducting US$300.00 for handling!
The money US$2,700.00, after their [ not agreed] deduction finally arrived in our bank account this morning, the 8th of November.
As per my heading, never again would we deal with this company and or its VP, a very difficult, unpleasant and challenging experience.

USA to UK Shipment
We shipped household items from Florida to the UK. It took longer than expected which I understand is due to container shortage issues post Covid. However, items arrived undamaged.

House hold removal
My household goods took very long to arrive. I was never explained the time frame and it kept on being delayed. I did not take insurance as previously I had shipped the same goods to USA from UK without insurance and they arrived on time and without any problems. Even I paid half the charge compared to this time.Once you are committed you are helpless. I would not recommend this company to anybody.

Working with them since 2003
Working with them since 2003, I can say that all you read here on trust pilot is the truth
Really disappointed. After a 20 year experience from LA, the service turned bad abd bad.
Lack of respect and communication.
despite emails sent to the Manager, no response from them. They are only interested in selling, after that it gets too complicated.

Motorcycle from US to Ireland
I shipped my motorcycle from the US (Utah) to Dublin Ireland through this company and it was a mess from the very beginning.
We had discussed potential dates but they did not clearly communicate when the bike would be picked up or who would be contacting me. I received a call from a private driver who could not even tell me the company name that I was going through. He was asking about picking up the bike on a day that was not previously discussed.
Once the bike was actually picked up, it took them almost 6 months to get it to Ireland when they had initially estimated 4-6 weeks. During the time, there was no pro active communication and I kept getting the same generic answer when I reached out to ask for an updated timeline.
Upon receiving it, I had to pay an additional 500 Euro for the receiving company to pick it up and bring it to a warehouse. I had been told originally that the cost that I paid to them covered everything.
The left handlebar was also slightly bent (I assume from it being strapped down so hard) but I did not notice this until after we had taken the bike off of the property (we trailered it off). This meant that I had to replace it myself.
All around a horrible experience and I would suggest using another company as it is clear that Schumacher does not care about providing a quality service to their customers.

US to UK
We used Schumacher for our move from the US to the UK. The shipment did take much longer than expected (we were quoted around 3 months, and it took 7), but I was so thrilled with the condition of everything when it arrived. Not a scratch on anything, no weird smell from all that time at sea. It was exactly how we left it, and that's the most you can hope for with moving, I feel. The actual delivery crew were really kind and speedy as well.
