Shipping/Removal Companies from UK to US, recommendations pls?
Were moving to LA in January and I'm arranging several international shipping quotes, has anyone got any recommendations or good experiences who they've used, or otherwise bad experiences and who to avoid?? Thanks

My company uses John Mason in the UK and I believe the counterpart in the US is United Van Lines. I have no benchmark on costs as I didn't see the bill, but the service was very good.

Quite a few threads to search out with recommendations.
But at the end of the day, it all boils down to who gets contracted to do the local US end, so someone who ended up with one particular Van Lines, Atlas etc, etc, might have a completely different experience to someone else who's local Van Lines, Atlas, etc, etc franchise is completely different. All you can do is search them out against the scam moving website.
