Recommendations on good international moving companies from Europe?

Hello
I recently shipped a number of boxes from NL to Brisbane. I used a UK company called removal group.
They were not too bad. I packed everything myself though. They emailed me all necessary custom forms etc
And also offered £5000 liability insurance which was free.
They organise a local shipping company to picked up from the drive way.. After this
They will let you know the name of the local company where everything has been sent to.
They told me that it should arrive within 8-10 weeks but it didn't arrive until 12 weeks but that was ok for us.
We paid about £ 1000 somewhere about there it was little over. The Dutch companies we got quotes from were
Well over €1200, too much for the amount of things we were shipping.
Anyway I hope that helps

Hi Lily-

Did the international removals company you used to ship from the UK to Australia charge you according to container size, or do they quote you on weight? How does it work? Also, did you have to cover the cost yourself, or was it something you asked your company to pay for (if, in fact, you were moving to Australia under the auspices of a work contract).

Thanks!

Hello

The company charged per sqm. I was shipping baby gear and other personal items. I couldn't have filled a container!
Our move was not for work purposes therefore we paid the costs ourselves.

Sorry that should have been per cubic meter.
