Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
wish i could say the same, they wrapped my things in paper and cardboard boxes and have caused £12,000's worth of damage. What you need to be ccarefulabout is the way they operate, they subcontract most of there work so at the end of the day it could be jo bloggs at the end of your street packing all your belongings and what does he know or care.

Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
just a word of advice i just used anglo and they are really crap, they took 3 months to get our items to us then charged 3 times the original quote then when finally i got my stuff it was mostly badly damaged and smashed. They do not try to contact you nor will they return your calls, the extent of damage to my goods is in excess of £12,000.00 and a lot of things had sentimental value and cannot be replaced. From my experience i wouldnt touch them with a barge pole.
Hope this helps

Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
i used anglo total nightmare, nine months later still they have not resolved issues regarding damaged goods and what they so call customer service. once they have your money they they really don't care. The dust bin man would take more care of your treasured belongings. Can't say to much puts me into mood for weeks thinking about them.
good luck

Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
We had a horrible experience with Anglo Pacific. Full story here:
http://travellingtwo.com/resources/anglopacificbad
In short, they made a lot of promises but failed to resolve anything or even bother to answer our emails and keep us up to date. They only lost a box full of our most valued things like old family photos and our wedding album. Okay... not their fault that the box that went missing happened to contain those things but still they could have made resolving the issue an awful lot faster and easier.

It means you get your stuff quicker (different companies getting involved means they have to fit you into their diary which means delays).

Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
Another vote here for AP. No probs and more than competitive too.
I've also used Allied Pickfords from Aus to UK and they were sole agent both ends. Dont know if thats still the case. I di get a quite from them when returning but they were 50% more than others quotes and really iffy knowledge wise i.e. what to bring etc.

Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
anglo pacific - not the cheapest but big on promises "we take more care, we're professionals, we try harder to please you"
rubbish - they pack as fast as they can with the mentality any breakages the insurers can pick them up
e.g. our painting was packed unprotected to rattle around in a large box of metal cycle parts, surprise, surprise a complete write-off!
ap's comment - that's what insurance is for

Re: EVL or Anglo Pacific
We used EVL and they were absolutely fantastic. We decided to bring our car with us and they were the only ones who could load it into the container at our house rather than drive it to the docks. The office staff were really helpful and the lads that did the packing were amazing - super quick and nothing got broken. They were also the cheapest by miles.
