........... anyone used them?? They seem to offer everything others do at a lower cost Is there a catch?

Im using freedom shipping. The quote they gave was much better then anywhere else. Although i havent sent my stuff yet, they delivered the boxes when they said they would. The paperwork was explained by the delivery guy and everytime I ring them with a question they are great.

Well so far so good
Got an email and text message last night confirming delivery time between 7.50 and 8.50am today. At 8.00am on the dot my boxes arrived Lovely chap who explained the paperwork to me. Most INTERESTING part was that he came in a Sevenseas van and wore Sevenseas uniform!! They are the same company now so offer exactly the same service BUT Freedom shipping was nearly £200 cheaper!!

My boxes went off today with Freedom. They arrived in the allotted time slot. The guy said one of the boxes could be overweight, but I had weighed them all so hopefully I won't get charged extra.

I was also a bit bemused when Seven Seas delivered the boxes. The guy who collected them has delivered stuff to me before, I think he works for another carrier.

I think everyone sending boxes to Aus should use them asap, then the container will fill up quickly for a fast delivery!

I've just booked with Freedom Shipping and am having my boxes delivered next Saturday.

We are being ruthless and have ordered 10 boxes but as we have a tiny one bedroom flat and are selling what we can, its just going to be documents, photos and a box for my bear collection.

Does anyone know if I have to take my photos out of the wooden frame? I have some wooden ornaments (some bought in Oz) and I dont know if they have been treated or not.

Never thought about the wooden photo thing. I have packed our wood frames etc but cant remember which box
