Excess baggage are the cheapest and been doing it for years. They will negotiate prices too so if you find a better deal else where, haggle with them....most of the bigger places will come down in price. Robinsons in London are ok too...Interdean are ok...Crown....Anglo have mixed reports..

Unfortunatley no company can ever promise that nothing will happen...it really depends on the customer service you receive from an individual and the coordinator you end up with. There are so many different people that deal with one shipment, so it can be stuffed up anywhere!! The risk is low none the less, don't be afraid! but don't use any small, unknown companies....always make sure they are with FIDI and all the other Internationally recognised orgs. The bigger ones I think are the better ones to go with, and remember to haggle with them! You should be able to get them down in price!!!

Heythere,

Yes I would try Excess International, Crown Relocations and Allied Pickfords. Crown and Allied both have offices all through Asia, and Excess would have partners there.....GOOD LUCK!

What qualifies you to give this advice?
There are many smaller companies that offer a better and probably cheaper service than the 3 big companies you have mentioned. Do you work for them or something? Or are they the only companies you have heard of?
