Need recommendation for shipping company please
« on: November 10, 2006, 10:18:19 AM »

Hi All,

Hope you're doing well. I have to ship some belongings to Germany and was wondering if you could recommend a company that you had a good experience with. The good thing is, what I'm shipping is neither fragile nor enormously valuable- books and the like- so I don't need a "premier" service which can guarantee that priceless porcelain will not be scratched etc....instead, something cheap and cheerful but reliable would be ideal. Also, I want them to ship as sloooowly as possible so that I have more time to arrange for storing the stuff when it does arrive!  :)

Thanks so much for your advice.

The Sun King

Upakweship was ok...My husband picked my things up from the docks and got socked with some extra fees, but those can be somewhat avoided if you have the things delivered.  I would still recommend them as a shipping company because they were reletively cheap and cheerful.

BUT if I had to do it all again I would go through the post office.

I sent 26 boxes with UPakWeShip and loved them.

Thanks! I'm going to get a quote from these and Britannia, which is supposed to be a reputable company.

Bon weekend!

I used UPakWeShip, they were great stateside, I had to chase them up over here a bit but overall not bad! I would check them out.
