hi ya, we are looking at going with pss. got them out to give us a quote quite a while ago and have just kept in contact with them concerning our date for moving (waiting for house to sell ). phoned them the other day and they said they just needed a few days notice to arrange the container and lads to come to dismantal our belongings.
hope this helps

HI, we used sevenseas worldwide late last year and they were excellent - we had 5-6 large boxes of stuff, mainly personal items, clothes, CD's etc but also some quite expensive stuff including some art, photographs and a Les Paul guitar.

They were one of the cheapest companies(I got about a dozen quotes) and they did door-to-door service, had excellent customer service and tracking so I knew where my stuff was. It aprrived in less than 8 weeks (from the door of my house in England to the door of my paretns house in NSW). Nothing was broken - the boxes looked to be in perfect order.

I could not recommend them highly enough!

Apparently we're using Unigroup UTS Worldwide. My friend here who has done numerous international moves has just used them for a local move and said they were the best she's ever used.

We used PSS which were great, only one broken wine glass. Just make sure who ever you get, check every cupboard is empty before they seal the container. Our container had just left when i discovered a kitchen cupboard full of pots and pans.
