Using Baggage Hub was the absolute WORST decision I've ever made in my life. I'm left with NO belongings and my money taken by them. They are NOT recommended at all!! 

We are in the middle of a move with them. Haven't had problems yet.

 

What happened?

We are moving our whole house (both living in Europe last 12 years and have 3 year old child), minus some furniture and all electronics, to California. I filled in a short form on a comparison website and got about 8 quotes via email (many also called) from different companies (I think it was this one?https://www.deliveryquotecompare.com/removals/international-removals/). They estimate your volume of goods to give you a quote. We live in a 65 m2 two bedroom flat, and they estimated 150-200 cubic ft move. It is by sea, and can take up to 9 weeks - we don't mind and will take essentials with us by air.  We are paying ourselves so trying to negotiate down but most estimates were in the range of £1000. Part-load shipping is the cheapest: they put your stuff into a shipping container along with other shipments so it is much cheaper. 

We used Sterling Removals before and were pretty happy with the service throughout. 

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply....but I posted this question 4 months ago and we already figured it out. Thanks though!

I HIGHLY suggest John Mason International Movers... I'm not joking when I tell you that they are literally in my house as I type, packing up all of my things for me. They're based out of Liverpool but work across the country. We are shipping 15 very large boxes and a massive coffee table and it's just over £700 door to door from Manchester to Detroit.

Thanks, but I asked this question moths ago, and my then fiance now husband has been here for over three months.

well, the great thing about threads on forums is that they can continue and help other people with the same questions...
