Shipping do's and don'ts!!!
Guys,
Me and the wife are heading out to Sydney soon and are after advice on which shipping companies to use and more importantly who to avoid like the plague!!!
We've sold all our furniture and are only taking around 80 cubic feet of stuff which is already boxed up and would need to be insured for approx 20 grand (GBP).
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!!!!!
Many thanks in advance

Whatever you do, do NOT use Anglo Pacific, they have been renamed on here as ***** ********. Plenty of horror stories about them if you do a search.
There's a few shiping threads on here at the moment so probably worth taking a look at those too.

We went with international excess removals with 110cu/ft and were charged 840 uk pounds...........this is their website: http://www.overseasremovals.com/
By the way, only gave them 10days notice prior to pickup, very professional, and only had 1 breakage which was an umbrella(don't think we would have had too much use for it anyway!)
Hope this helps
