calNgary Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 We used Crown Relo to send 18 boxes of toys, clothes, personal stuff etc. They were great and everything got here intact and on time (approx 12 weeks from being taken from our house).I wouldnt hesitate to use them again Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest starkitten06660 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi, we used Allied Pickfords (Pickfords) and they were great. Arrived in 12 weeks. Good communication. I gave no address in Australia as we didn't have one then - just my email address and my brother's mobile number as he lives here, but they just emailed me in the end. Was more than happy with their service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yugoj Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 We've used Seven Seas to send 22 boxes and two bikes. Can't comment on how good they are for delivery as the boxes only left here on Monday. But so far their service has been great - everyone I have spoken to on the phone has been really nice, friendly and helpful. They even rang me back as soon as they realised I was calling an 0800 number from a mobile. They turned out to be the cheapest option for us: £30 for a large carton and £15 for a small book box. Only extra charges (so far) were £30 pick up fee because we're outside the M25. We've paid for door to door service and they say that the only other costs we will have to pay are customs and quarantine charges which are out of their control. We'll see....
