Default Moving Company

I have had a quote from Seven Seas but I have found a lot of bad news about them and I am not 100% sure of it, I am getting a funny guy feeling from them.

Anyone who has USED or is USING a moving company I am shipping 3-4 tea chests from the UK to Canada .... any help would be so appreciated I cannot even explain.

I am in the process of seaching the forums but any help would rock.

I am going with GB Liners for my container and the international guy who came out said to me if there was anything I wanted to send ahead of the container not to use a removal company as they use peeps like Sevenseas etc and therefore have to add their cut to it all and it therefore works out really expensive.

Why don't you find a shipping company rather than a moving company,we bring goods in all the time and deal with a shipper in our area he packs and if a lot puts on a pallet then ships out to us,as far as I know a lot cheaper than involving movers...

That depends what part of the country you are from,we come from around the Cambridgeshire area and use Oakbridge from Haverhill but I am sure that if you look at shippers in Yellow pages you will find quite a few listed then just make a few calls and see what they can do for you.I know sometimes they will use small loads to fill up containers so it is worth asking.
