    Shipping Recommendations - UK to Hong Kong

    Does anyone have any recommendations of companies who can organise my packing/shipping/storage please? I am moving to Hong Kong at the end of June and need to get some quotes. Thank you.

    I used Anglo Pacific - they gave me the cheapest quote and everything arrived on time. For no additional cost they did all the packing in the UK and unpacked in HK too.

    UK number : 020 8965 1234

    Thanks. So far I have Allied Pickfords, Crown Relocations, Robinsons and Interdean-Interconnex on my list..but I've only had personal recommendations for the last two. Will give them a call.

    Shipping recommendation

    I used Bishops Move for my relocation. They were one of the more exepnsive to use but as I had used them before for Projects in the UK where I was moving offices I knew they were good.

    They use a delivery company here in HK to deliver and everything arrived as it should, delivered to my front door!

    You could do an internet search for shipping companies. I found a lot in the UK that way.

    Thanks. Yes, I have researched on the internet but it's always better to have personal opinions and details of how the move went. Good and bad - I'd like to hear - especially if they're on my list!

    Seven Seas

    I am also looking to move to Hong Kong this summer. I've got a competitive quote from Seven Seas, which has been the cheapest so far. The other I've looked at is Anglo-Pacific and Robinsons.

    Try www.voovit.com
    I shipped 5 boxes with Voovit from UK to HK..pretty cheap and good service. They will come and give u the boxes u need,then collect it when u r ready. Their boxes are quite big and allows u to pack up to 30 Kgs per box. I managed to ship nearly all my stuff back.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I have now moved to Hong Kong and my things are being shipped through Robinsons. They gave me the best quote and have so far been great. The packers were fantastic.

    voovit looks interesting, Mina. Does anyone know about any other shipping companies for just boxes (no furniture)?

    I've looked on voovit's website and they do seem cheap, but I understand you have to make your own arrangments to ship your boxes from the port in HK to your front door. I know this was like 5 years ago but if you're still on this forum Mina can you let me know who you used and how much it cost? worth a try!!

    If not, can anyone recommend someone to move 4-5 boxes from the port in HK to HK Island.

    Many thanks
