Shipping companies - have quotes, reviews welcome!
Hi,
We are moving from BC, Canada back to Ireland (Republic) in March. I've started getting some quotes from shipping companies, thought I would list them here just in case they are of interest to anyone else. Also, would love to hear any reviews/experiences anyone has had with any of these (particularly TheMIGroup - couldn't find much on them on the net).
Williams $13510
TheMIGroup $14980
Mordano $15605
Tippet-Richardson $12320
AMJ Campbell $9975
Euro Transport US$4480 (warning, apparently this company are a scam!)
Cheers!

Wow, you could refurnish a house almost for some of those quotes. Are you taking the whole house full of furniture back?

Re: Shipping companies - have quotes, reviews welcome!
Oh, sorry, should have said, quotes are for a 20-foot exclusive container, professional packing/unpacking included.
Yes, they are - but we are taking pretty much all the furniture from our 3-bed house. We sat down with the IKEA Dublin website & costed out how much it would be to replace everything, and it came out to 14000 Euro - and the stuff we have is better quality. So, it should be just about worth it. I'm also hoping to use the AMJ quote to bargain down TheMIGroup.

Re: Shipping companies - have quotes, reviews welcome!UPDATE
UPDATE: I used the AMJ quote to bargain with Williams. They have matched it (actually bettered it - their new estimate is $7000-9000). They have a great reputation so we're going to go with them. Will update again after the move!
