We have received the NOA2 (yay! :) ) and so I have started trying to get quotes from removal companies to ship my stuff over to the US from the UK.

I sent each company a list of the boxes I would be taking, including dimensions, and got a range of quotes from £400 to £1100!

I have started looking on the internet for reviews on the companies, but so far, it seems like all of the companies have completely mixed reviews, making it very hard to know which company to trust with my items. I also know it can differ based on the local company that they use in the US.

I am moving to Las Vegas, so I believe my items will ship to LA, and then transit over land to Vegas itself.

I am wondering if anyone has any recent good experiences, and can recommend any firms? Or warn me away from any companies that were really bad!!

Thanks

Norm

We used 1st Move International. http://www.shipit.co.uk

Watch the Packing Video. http://www.shipit.co.uk/Packing_Overseas_Removals.htmThat is what impressed us and we were not disappointed. Still sealed and nothing broken when we picked it up from the port. I supposed the van company may break down your shipment before land transport. You could ask.

23 boxes and a crated antique clock was about 2.1 cubic metres after wrapping and palleting.

I used Anglo Pacific for shipping clothes and household items. They supplied the packing materials too. Six boxes at 25kgs cost $1000 (approx) Got to Denver within 6 days and everything was intact.

Thanks for the info guys.

I'm not shipping furniture, just boxes of things like books, dvds, and then possible my computer and my playstation, although I may buy new ones of those when I move depending on costs.
