Gday Mate Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hi PomsinOZ! We are moving to Perth from Manchester at the start of december and could do with some recommendations for shipping companies. We've had a bunch of quotes done, but it is proving hard to settle on a firm as they all seem to offer a relatively comparable service (albeit with some differences around their use of sub-contractors / preferred partners etc in Australia), and all come out of the online reviews with a pretty similar write-up in online reviews (good sales experience, tricky to claim if stuff got broken etc). What would be useful is any recommendations from those of you who have moved recently and had a great experience... Can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstyLP Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Have you looked at the http://www.trustedmover.org website? It's run by the British Association of Removers and many of their members customers post independent reviews on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 We have John Masons and PSS who are on the forum and both have great reviews. I would recommend getting 3 or 4 quotes and then going with who you feel comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used Robinsons who managed to lose the pendulum for an 1815 grandfather clock, the bolts to the dining table and 2 single beds and have been so difficult trying to follow up afterwards. They limit compensation to £40 per crate as well so insure with insure your move. We had quotes from Crown as well and they were our second choice.
