Didn’t have to pay until everything was packed and loaded and they were quick and friendly both sides of the pond...and they kept in touch during the whole operation even down to the exact time they would arrive at the door this end
The thought of shipping my stuff was causing me more stress then any other part of my move here and at the end of the day it turned out to be the smoothest
