Hiya!

I got a fairly decent quote from 1st Move international ltd. www.shipit.co.uk I've not heard if anyone has used them or not though so can't really recommend as I haven't a clue myself!

Try searching in the search tab above, I'm sure you'll find some info that way

Good Luck!

Hi,

I've got Doree Bonner, White & Company, PSS, John Mason, Crown Relocations, and Grist booked over the next three weeks to come and give me their quotes. Will report back here what they say and what I think.

P.S. Simon, switch you PMs on in your profile. I was going to send you a PM, but you haven't got them enabled.

I'd recommend Doree Bonners. Great price and negotiate the insurance down.

Also great service which is what really matters

It seems there are some familiar names that are beginning to crop up, we have a couple in mind. I note that Whites are not a member of FIDI which i am led to believe is very important to have and BAR less important as this only applies to UK/ Europe

Simon,

the removal companies do read and write on here as well. Hence I suggested you turn on your PMs - I can then tell you a bit more ...

We used Copsey in the UK, they coulod not have been better, but over here our stuff is being dealt with by OSS in Brisbane and they are as unhelpful as they can possibly be, our stuff arrived in Brisbane on 2nd March and we still do not have a date.
