Unfortunately, bad things happen to every company at some point, I think. We had a great experience with them! They were very friendly, very helpful (even when I had major stress brain farts and sent them stuff like wrong credit card numbers - oops!). The company on this end took longer than I thought (can't remember the name right now, but they're in New Jersey), but the lady was nice every time I called (every day or two). In all, the shipping time total was less than most other companies, even though the price was slightly higher. All of our belongings arrived in perfect condition. If I were moving again (which I won't ever be, lol) I'd use them again. Good luck with your move :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380937047826954640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6724254045858630529.post-81696167378110753462010-10-01T16:54:39.641+01:002010-10-01T16:54:39.641+01:00HI, I found your blog whilst researching shipping ...HI, I found your blog whilst researching shipping companies for our move from the UK to the US and we are also considering 1st Move.

I just wanted to say you're doing this for the right reasons, and don't pay attention to the people who are saying it's all about you. :) Sometimes people just have a hard time letting go of the person who has to leave the country, and it's easier to paint YOU as the bad person rather than let the person go. I'm dealing with this myself -- my fiance's friend is causing major friction. I try to ignore him, because I know what I am doing is right in my heart, and my fiance wants to come to the US. Sending you strength to do the same!<br /><br />-- MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182500623744321285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6724254045858630529.post-3398306210824387282010-06-01T15:55:56.555+01:002010-06-01T15:55:56.555+01:00I've always been jealous that in bird society ...I've always been jealous that in bird society it is the males that have to be beautiful and strut their stuff.

YouPackWeShip, 1st Move, and Excess Baggage Company. They were all very close in price per square foot. Excess Baggage was slightly cheaper, and they deliver to your door and pack and unpack, but their delivery estimate was 10-12 weeks. 1st Move is closer to four. It is an estimate, but for the tiny bit more, we're going with them. Also, they stack all your belongings on a pallet and shrink wrap them together, so your box isn't sitting next to someone else's box in the cargo container. We decided that since much of our stuff is going to remain in storage at our house, we could pick it up (the depot is less than two hours from our house) and save a few weeks.<br /><br />It's hard not to get ahead of yourself in this process. I've had shopping lists for setting up the house for months now! Little things like salt and pepper that you always have, but are likely to forget during that first big trip to the store. Thanks so much for the well wishes, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. It makes me feel good to be able to help others, as I've been helped so much by others myself during this trying process :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380937047826954640noreply@blogger.com
