We move from Ontario in 2005 and use Tippett Richardson. Good packers and all our stuff returned to the UK in good condition. Cost us $10.5K.

Hi
We used Allied Pickfords for our move from derby to BC in January this year. They were fab and competitively priced. I hear Tippet Richardson are also quite good.

The cheapest quote we got was from Tippet Richardson but we preferred MI who quote $800 more, so we told MI what Tippet had quoted and they matched it no problem

Just thought i would say.....My furniture has finally arrived Yay!!!! And so far looks ok. I carn't unpack yet as we are moving again in about 3 wks ( i hope). So i wont know for sure until then, whether their is any damages...........

It was recieved in the Uk by John Mason Internatioanal, who have been great and it was actually delivered to my door by a company called Pearsons who's 3 delivery lads were lovely

So hopefully a great end to what has been a nightmare
