We used Seven Seas for 20 tea chests. All arrived safely and on schedule. They charge extra for delivery outside of major metro areas but it only cost us 80 pounds to have them sent up from Brisbane to Yeppoon (about 600 kilometres). Overseas call centre but everyone I spoke to spoke excellent English and understood what I was talking about.
This was 2 years ago so things may have changed but I would use them again.
