Re: John Mason or Dorree Bonner shipping?
There have been a few threads on shipping, quite a few talking about those companies.
But as Ian said, makes no difference if the US end is subbed out to different folks.
Just ask who'll be responsible for the US end, then search those folks out against the scam moving website.

We used Doree Bonner to go to Colorado via LA. They were fine, and kept us informed; the shipping company they contracted in California - Nedrac - could have improved communications (regular email prompts from me for updates), but overall the service was reliable.

Hi
Did you end up going with Doree Bonner? I am looking into shipping from London to L.A. Any advice would be a great help.

Re: John Mason or Dorree Bonner shipping?
Hi yes i went with DB...they've been great so far! Fingers crossed. They're packing w/c 4th Feb so i will let you know what they're like if you wish?
I had six quotes from well known companies and i liked DB's approach and professional. I've done a lot of research on the company they use in LA too and its seems to be ok. Its really difficult and you are taking a risk but we are happy with our decision so far. Where in LA are you moving to? My husband flew out today and starts his new job tomorrow, I fly out on 19th Feb.

Re: John Mason or Dorree Bonner shipping?
Thanks for that. Its a bit of a minefield isn't it as all the companies have both positive and negative reviews depending on who you speak to. I think I'll go with them too.
My wife and I head out on march 3rd but we're not sure where we'll be moving to.Thinking of doing a months temporary residence somewhere and then looking at different areas like Studio City, Glendale, echo park etc (over the valley). Are you moving permanently or just seeing how it goes?
