Positives - clear and prompt communication / very fast delivery from Canada to the UK
Negatives - In focusing on speed it seems they sacrificed care. I had 2 pictures in frames which were very well packaged. Not only did both shatter in transit but the package was thrown around so much that the shattered glass scratched the image underneath beyond repair. Afterwards I was informed no compensation was possible.

If I could give a lower rating I would.
STAY AWAY! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. My shipment has been rescheduled 4 times and I've rented a truck twice only to find out when I arrive that my items are not there. They didn't notify me or provide any reasonable excuse. They wouldn't take accountability or even offer a partial refund. They do not care about their customers and believe they have no responsibility for the service. If you value your items, stay away from these vultures. A special call out for Shirley Hemmings and Nick Gjura for their disrespect and horrible customer service. I truly

A fantastic service for shipping my son's personal belongings from Toronto to the UK. Shirley was excellent, proactively advising me how to keep the costs as low as possible, advising me about Transfer of Residency exemptions and ringing me if she had any queries. The quote was competitive compared with others and after pick up from Toronto the shipment was in the UK and ready for delivery within 48 hours. Would highly recommend

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Not similar to earlier reviews, I have to say that employees are completely useless, incompetent and lie. They are so bad that we did not even get to booking with them. Following the quote, with all details provided by me, including the date, we discussed over the phone. They asked me for the date of the pick up, checked on the computer and confirmed we are all good to proceed. 7 days later while trying to pay, i was informed they don't work on Sundays which was the day we confirmed over the phone and on the quote. Long story short she was unable to do anything to find a date

AVOID EXCESS INTERNATIONAL AT ALL COSTS.
- Quoted delivery 8-12 weeks (UK to NZ). Current tracking suggests my shipment will arrive into NZ after 15 weeks. This does not take customs into account (an additional 2 weeks). Therefore conservative estimate of delivery = 17 weeks. I expect it take take longer due to the Christmas period.
- Following survey and prior to collection day, communication was extremely limited - series of very short, clipped emails which didt make sense and when calling my coordinator to resolve these emails, the verbal responses were very disappointing.
- Due to company
