Seven Seas Excess baggage
After the chaos of the house removal last week we had a few items left off the container that we want to send out. Also the sales have been hard for me to resist!... We have decided to send out a couple of tea chest sized boxes and Seven Seas have come back with the best quote. Door within M25 to Door In Brisbane 1st box £79 and any others £45 each. This is a lot cheaper than excess baggage who wanted basically double.
They also supply all the boxes, tape, bubble wrap and collect them from your house. I had the boxes delivered today and they will collect when I am ready.
Has anyone used them before?? Any idea if the boxes will actually get there?!

wow - that look alot cheaper than all the ones I have tried so far. Might go for this lot as well, as I only have a few boxes to send out so won't at least have to fork out for a whole container. Hope they are reliable though....

What was their excuse for the delay? I thought 10 weeks was bad!

I have no idea who was to blame but Seven Seas were very reactive with their customer service and it took ages to get any answers. Megatop just gave sob stories about how they were being screwed by Seven Seas.
Eventually Megatop delivered the goods for over $100 which Seven Seas credited to my UK debit card. Someone else recently had a good delivery from them but all I can offer is my horrible experience.
