“After getting a number of quotes from different parties, Astro's was very competitive. Peter was informed and aware of the documents required by the Irish Customs & Revenue authorities for port clearance and answered all my emails promptly.”
“Astro Intl. and Peter Karys in particular were excellent and very professional to deal with on our move back to Ireland from Wisconsin. After getting a number of quotes from different parties, Astro's was very competitive. Peter was informed and aware of the documents required by the Irish Customs & Revenue authorities for port clearance and answered all my emails promptly. He also followed up with me with reminders of what was required and when. This was a very straight forward experience thanks to Astro! I'd definitely recommend to go with them!”
“The UK agents that Astro International worked with at Felixstowe port were equally professional and a delight to work with and everything was delivered promptly and safely. … All aspects of the work were professional, good humored and fairly priced.”
“Mr. Karys at Astro International looked after our shipment from the initial queries by telephone from the UK, through packing, collection and final shipment to the UK. The UK agents that Astro International worked with at Felixstowe port were equally professional and a delight to work with and everything was delivered promptly and safely. We would use Astro International again for any packing and shipment and cannot recommend them highly enough. All aspects of the work were professional, good humored and fairly priced.”

“Dear Peter, Just a quick note to thank you all for the exceptional service you provided for our rather complicated shipment of a container between Melbourne, Boston and France.”
“The crew were highly efficient, swift and very cheerful. A couple of the items needed creativity and careful handling to get them through narrow spaces – this was done very well, without damaging walls or the packaging.”
“The shipment was delivered by Astro International on time and has been unloaded. All the items I requested were unpacked. There was no noticeable damage to the unpacked items. The crew were highly efficient, swift and very cheerful. A couple of the items needed creativity and careful handling to get them through narrow spaces – this was done very well, without damaging walls or the packaging. The team also offered to do more than I asked. I was very impressed and would be grateful if you would pass this feedback on to their supervisor.”
“Wonderful service from Astro and their agent Transworld in New Zealand.”
“It was a long move (to the other side of the world!) and we were concerned about whether or not our boxes would arrive… Our fears were unfounded because Peter and his guys were professional and careful all throughout the packing and moving process.”
“We worked with Peter at Astro Int'l to ship our personal belongings when we relocated from Boston to Singapore. It was a long move (to the other side of the world!) and we were concerned about whether or not our boxes would arrive, and if so, whether they would still be in good shape. Our fears were unfounded because Peter and his guys were professional and careful all throughout the packing and moving process. Peter was responsive via phone and email, and addressed our concerns patiently. The rates he quoted were fair and I feel like it was value-for-money and a good experience all around. Highly recommended.”
“Overall it took 6 weeks to receive the items in Barcelona and the estimate was about 6-8 weeks, so no surprises. … I recommend Astro International without any hesitation”
“Hi, My move from Wakefield, MA to Barcelona, Spain was peaceful with the help of Peter and Bill from Astro International. I delivered all my household things packed including my car at their warehouse in Brockton, MA. In a 20 foot container Astro packed all my things safely and loaded my car with necessary fixers and holders safe in any normal ship/carrier movements in land and water. I have received the container in Barcelona port and shipping company, MSC helped me to unload the container at the Terminal and I moved the house-hold items and Car by myself after obtaining Customs clearance from the Spanish Customs/Tax department with necessary paperwork. Overall it took 6 weeks to receive the items in Barcelona and the estimate was about 6-8 weeks, so no surprises. Peter carried out the whole processes with great care and consideration and followed on each an every enquiry I had pre and post shipping. As soon as the shipment left their warehouse Peter send necessary papers I need to obtain the Customs clearance here in Barcelona by FedEX, and with bill of landing from MSC, Customs clearance process was effortless. I recommend Astro International without any hesitation and please feel free to use me in case any of your future customers need a reference. Regards, Subin”

Peter is a stand up guy and although their facilities are modest to be polite, they do a top notch job.

I have no issues with recommending astro intl. to others.”

“I'm signing up for Yelp just to write a review for Astro. When you look online for reviews for international movers, the name of Astro pops up here and there on moving forums, universally with very positive comments. They are specialized in international moving. They just moved us from Boston USA to Rotterdam, The Netherlands. They are by far the most professional and pleasant crew I ever worked with. From the first home survey by Peter, he was always on the ball, clear and direct. Any question I had, I got an immediate answer, and his was the only quote out of 5 that I got that had everything possible included from the get go: for all others I had to call to ask why certain things where not included after which the price went up. On the moving days itself (they took 2 days) the moving crew of Bill, Joe, James and Joel were incredibly hard working, professional, efficient, helpful, polite and a pleasure to work with. They took great care of our stuff. Both on the administrative level and on the physical moving level the people of Astro displayed more professionalism and know-how than any other moving crew I've ever worked with. Highly recommended, would not move internationally with anyone else.”

A crew of 4 handled the packing with care and precision. The crew arrived on time and departed at the assigned time. Astro Int'l showed to be professional, punctual, flexible (storing my goods for some time) and followed through until completion. I would highly recommend Astro Int'l services for any international or national shipment of household goods and vehicles.”
