I just thought i should share my experience of AngloPacific removal company, in case anyone is thinking of using them to relocate.

Just make sure that you get all the agreements in writing.

I used them to relocate to canada and they gave me an "all inclusive" price. "All inclusive" my arse !!

When my container turned up i got pinged for an addition 500 bucks and they wouldn't release my container until i paid it.

Just a word to the wise - pick someone else who doesn't lie - or it may cost you like it did me.

We are thinking of using Anglo Pacific to get us home from Vancouver. We used Dolphin Removals from Enfield in London, and it was horrendous. Don't touch them with a barge pole. After agreement on price, they collected household contents, and took it all back to their depot, rang me and said it would be leaving on a later ship, and we were without furniture for a month in our home abroad, with three children. I could have strangled them. Then, when the furniture gets to Canada, the company dealing with it this end said the shipping company hadn't been paid, and wanted $2000 to release the container to us. The container gets to us, and the contents were chucked in boxes, three mountain bikes damaged because they were shoved on top of furniture instead of oacked in containers as promised. I blew a gasket, and kept emailing them for compensation, but as predicted, the little sod didn't reply. DON'T USE THEM. THEY LIE.
Anyway, on our way home now, as it hasn't worked out for us here, and parents now need us at home. My husband will be paying Dolphin a little visit. Just to say hi. Worried now that we will have the same problem with Anglo!!!!!!

I would be very careful about using either Anglo Pacific or their Australian partner OSS.

I was quoted 8 weeks for delivery: my goods took 13.

I was told the price was all inclusive: it wasn't and got hit for $100 in Australia.

Having booked a day off work to receive my goods (they won't specify a delivery time) they never turned up. On complaning I was told this was 'standard'. I therefore had to book another day off to receive the goods, ending up seriously out of pocket
