Please help with final decision on shipping company to use.
Please can anybody offer any assistance with deciding which shipping company to use. We have had 2 quotes, one from Anglo Pacific and one from International Excess Baggage. I don't think you can judge from the s.ales people who come and do the estimate. My gut feeling is to go with the latter as they were slightly cheaper. Has anybody got any opinions or any other bright ideas? Thanks.

Hi
We have had several quotes and the cheapest for a sole use container and the best we think are Pss so that is who we are going with. That is our gut feeling and we have also heard from the company that they use on the aus end. Good luck with whatever you decide

We are not bringing the big stuff like sofas and tables and just bringing boxes of kids toys, books, and personal belongings etc. We are looking at Sevenseas worldwide to ship our boxes. http://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/

I would add i spoke to a lady today who used Anglo Pacific and wasn`t impressed. The guys that pack for Aand P, down where we live, have moved us twice in the Uk and they were fine, but after speaking to this person today I would be abit concerned. Tracy
I used PSS and was very happy.
As with insurance, remember cheapest isn't necessarily the best option.
