Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi @Scotty1981 I think whoever you choose there will be someone who has positive and negative opinions of the company. One of the best seem to be PSS. If I was you Id get 3 or 4 quotes and work from there. Make sure you read the small print as some companies are more transparent than others. Some companies will add an extra in to the price where others may have it as an optional extra. Also have a look at independant insurance companies like Letton Percival, they will save you a fortune.

The Raillys Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I also have been looking into this as moving about the same time. I got 3 quotes today. PSS, Anglo Pacific and one called Move Corp. PSS & Anglo Seemed similar in price, Move Corp a lot cheap, However, a google search showed some terrible reviews for Move corp, of lost belongings etc. PSS seem to have the most happy customers. Would love to hear others actual experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty1981 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi thank you for your responses, I am in the process of getting some quotes and have decided to try PSS, Whites and 1st Move International. I am still waiting for PSS and Whites but 1st Move came back cheaper then I was expecting to pay for removals so I'm just waiting to see what the others come back with. Have you looked into any companies to exchange your money with.... Wishing you all the best with your upcoming move.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raillys Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 We have already set up our Australian bank account and have been sending money using transfer wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirstyLP Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 My advice would be to always look for an international removal company that is a member of FIDI as they will be certified to the FAIM international moving quality standard, this means they are qualified for the specific skills/experience/knowledge required for international moving and are pre-vetted to reduce the risk of anything going wrong during your move. Additionally members of the BAR Overseas group offer an advance payment guarantee, you can also find reviews of members on their website. When you get your quotes make sure they are all like-for-like including a similar volume, inclusions/exclusions, transit time, services (i.e. if anything is being crated or dismantled) and that the companies are of similar standing. Hope that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange34 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 We used Crown from Glasgow 2 years ago and they were fantastic. Letton Percival for insurance too.... Done 2 international moves and very happy with both these companies. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
