Default Advice needed for removals to Dubai

Hi everyone
Im after a bit of advice, I'm moving to Dubai in early January and need to arrange for extra baggage. I'm flying with Emirates & was quoted £25 per KG for anything over my 30KG limit which seems like a ridiculous amount and my company won't cover that cost.
The recruitment agency suggested this company excess-baggage.com has anyone used them? They agency haven't actually used them before just googled it and I'm just worried about handing over my possessions to a firm I don't know!!

Thanks in advance

I have a lot of clothes, shoes, bags etc. I struggle to stay within my luggage allowance for a business trip and moving all my stuff to another country is proving difficult

Thankyou. Looks like they are the same price as excess-baggage so I'll do a bit more investing and see which is easier/has best reviews

or ask on exwoman forum if anybody is shipping a container out with room for your small amount. Then you just need to send it to their home...they can then check contents and reseal.
