Overseas Packers & Shippers

Absolutely disgraceful service.
I used these guys about 3 years ago when I had to emigrate back to the UK. After selling me their service and promising my goods would leave on August the 6/7th 2016 - I was told Nov 2016 very (so what attitude!!) it still had not even left Australia.

Sadly I have to say avoid at all costs because they are simply too slow. It started so well, they collected everything on time, they were super friendly and accommodating.

e.g. They dismantled our antique dining table with a hammer or some sort of blunt object and sent it as individual pieces, stuffed a large microwave in a cardboard box with absolutely no other packing material (microwave was smashed by the time it got to us) etc.
Also a number of items, which were taken from our property in Australia to pack the day after, were 'lost in transit'. After a month or so they found 1 of ...read more

Finally, the furniture has arrived undamaged to my wife's delight. The delivery staff was helpful and took away unwanted packaging. All and all, if I was to do it again I would use the company again.

Since the last posting I've received an email to communicate the ETA and proceeding with my contents. The relationship is heading in a positive direction.
