Karen anstee Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi, we are moving out to Oz in January and are collecting shipping quotes. It seems like a total minefield! Are there any companies people swear by or any to definitely avoid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 TBH any of the big 7 or 8 would most likely be fine. A few will perhaps have a bad experience, most will be fine with whomever they opt to use. On the day you won't have the same people packing and moving you as someone else on here so who is to say what your experience will be like ahead of time. Get 3 or 4 quotes in, see how they compare and pick the one you want to go with and if need be, haggle down the price a little. Ensure you get independent shipping insurance over the shipping companies own. In case of a claim it will be settled far quicker and less stressfully than arguing out with the shipping company insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirstyLP Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Check the FIDI website for FAIM certified International Removals companies serving your area. https://www.fidi.org/find-fidi-affiliate FAIM is the only quality standard specifically designed for International Shipping and helps you identify reputatble movers. Certified members pre-vetted to over 200 quality standards to demonstrate they have the qualifications, resources, experience and systems to reduce the risk of anything going wrong. The British Association of Removers website also has links to independent reviews which might also help, look for the 'overseas remover' badge to tell which companies are qualified for international moving as well as local. Hope that helps. Edited September 11, 2017 by KirstyLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
