Our Process

The Dimond Movers Moving Process

Step 1

Video / In-Person Survey

We survey your London property, agree the inventory and confirm the NYC address, building type and elevator access.

Step 2

Fixed Written Quote

Full door-to-door price covering London collection through to NYC delivery — sea and air options priced side by side.

Step 3

Export Packing & Collection

Export-grade packing at your London address, then consolidation at our Oxfordshire depot for container loading.

Step 4

Transit & NYC Delivery

Sea container from Felixstowe or Southampton to the Port of New York/New Jersey, or airfreight via LHR to JFK. CBP CF-3299 clearance and delivery into Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens or the wider Tri-State.

London to New York — the route we run every month

New York is our most-requested US destination out of London. Sea container is the default for a full home — 4-8 weeks door-to-door via Felixstowe or Southampton to the Port of New York and New Jersey (Bayonne, Newark or Elizabeth terminals). Airfreight is 7-12 days LHR to JFK and priced side-by-side for executive moves where timing matters more than cost.

Collection anywhere in the London M25 area, export packing on site, then consolidation at our Oxfordshire depot for container loading. Container arrives sealed at NY/NJ, clears US Customs and Border Protection through our NYC destination agent, and delivers directly to your Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens address.

US CBP customs and form CF-3299

US customs on personal effects is administered by US Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry. Returning US residents and new US arrivals file CBP form CF-3299 (Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles), which lets used household goods enter duty-free provided the items have been owned and used abroad for at least 12 months.

Our NYC destination agent files the CF-3299 on your behalf, submits the valued inventory in English and handles CBP examination if the container is pulled for inspection. Typical customs clearance is 3-10 working days after port arrival.

NYC delivery — the building, the elevator and the doorman

Manhattan and Brooklyn deliveries almost always need a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for the destination building, an elevator reservation booked with the building's management or superintendent, and a delivery window agreed with the doorman or concierge.

We prepare the COI to the exact wording your building requires (Additional Insured wording is standard) and book the freight elevator ahead of the container arriving in the US so the unload runs to schedule. Delivery into all five boroughs plus Jersey City, Hoboken, Westchester and Long Island.

Fixed pricing from London

Indicative pricing: sole-use 20ft container £3,800-£6,500 (1-2 bed apartment), sole-use 40ft container £7,500-£11,500 (3-5 bed home), shared groupage from around £2,400 for East Coast. Airfreight priced per m³ for urgent partials, typically 3-4× the per-cubic-metre rate of sea.

London parking permits arranged in advance for the collection day. NYC building COI, elevator booking and delivery window fully coordinated by the destination agent — nothing left for you to arrange the day of.
