Default Shipping to the USA

Howdy,

We are packing up in the UK to ship out to the US, the problem I am having is finding a freight company, we need a 40 foot container which I will load myself. I have tried several freight forwarders over the past couple of weeks and not one has returned my call. Any recommendations?

I used Eagle relocation based in south of England and had a very good experience. Would highly recommend them.

The global shipping crisis is making getting container slots very challenging which might explain why you've not heard back. Global shipping crisis and how it is affecting International Removals

Have you considered using an international removal company instead? The FIDI website is a good place to start to find a verified mover in your area.
