Moving from US to Sydney - need a moving company

Laurengr · #1 (**permalink**) 12th August 2009, 06:17 PM

I have already done a search and could not find a single name anywhere of a moving company that someone has used to get from the US to AUS. Can anyone who has made the move PLEASE tell me what moving company you used and how it went. I'm moving end of October and have already gotten quotes from multiple companies, but don't know who to go with. I've gone through the checklist of what makes a good moving company. Just want to know of some others that have been tried and trusted.

Thank you so much!

Yes, the first few words of my post were "i have already done a search."

I've seen posts recommending ways to find a good moving company, but no specific companies from US to Australia were mentioned.

i heard pickford is good. I am from India but some folks here have used them. Google has the solution to it all my friend

BTW, pickford is a UK company, not sure if they do US as well.

cheers

I moved from SF to Melbourne last year and had a very good experience with Stevens International. They were the cheapest company we got a quote from, and everything went very smoothly. We had no surprise costs, the shipment arrived on time and everything arrived intact, including boxes of china. We got their name, as well as the others we got quotes from, from movingscam.com, where they had great reviews.

I hope that helps. Good luck with your move!
