Shipping tips NZ to UK
We used The Moving Company from NZ to UK. Perfect.
They packed EVERYTHING with kid gloves, in paper, nothing was damaged, everything arrived. The driver even rang to tell us what time he would be there and carried everything in. they even offered an unpack service. excellent price too. Fantastic service from A to Z.
Recommend.
We used Transworld to ship some valuables.
A bit lax, but all good until they arrived in UK and the local agent used...PARCELFORCE!!!
Parcelforce is diabolical. So there our family silver, war medals, birth certificates, family photographs went and by the grace of god after two days of searching managed to track them down. so if you use Transworld for anything valuable, make sure you collect it from their agent Simpsons in UK and dont let them courier it to you.
there is nothing Royal about Royal Mail!

We used Allied Pickfords, who so far have been very good. They were great in NZ and we now await their arrival in UK (due Jan as we asked them not to arrive before xmas)
