Recommended Shipping Companies
Can anyone recommend a Shipping Company to ship our household items (furniture etc) from Norfolk UK to Florida US?

Re: Recommended Shipping Companies
I moved 15 years ago from Ipswich Suffolk to Florida and used a local company door to door. Googled to see if my memory was correct! and Greens Removals Stowmarket,Suffolk,is the name. I wrapped and packed personal items although they offered that service. From what i remember it all went to plan and seemed reasonably priced. Just had a look around here and it was only about 4 pieces of furniture plus all the numerous boxes but cannot recall the cost although at a guess was somewhere around 2k.

To Floridablues and ncKaeDS - Thank you both for your advice. I am obviously new to this sort of thing so I really appreciate any help that I can get. I will certainly check on Greens and Bournes. (I believe Bournes have a web site where you can calculate the size of the container needed, although I think I shall leave that to the removal rep who visits me.
