Can you let me know which broker you used? GBP 350 is very reasonable compared to what rates the shipping companies use.

Try these people - they often get good recommendations on this and other expat forums:

A Letton Percival & Co Ltd
The Old Malthouse
Trueman Street
Liverpool
L3 2BA

They have a website...
