Recommended shipping companies

Hi

I would like to know if anyone would recommend (or not) the following shipping/relocation companies:

- Relocasia
- Columbia Removals
- Prudential

I've read the various threads on shipping companies and understand that Santa Fe, Allied Pickfords, Links Relocation, Interdean and Asian Tigers have all been recommended. And Eagle should be avoided.

But would like to know whether I should invest my time in getting quotes from the above companies.

I will be relocating from HK to KL (Malaysia) and plan to ship all my furniture, appliances, clothes, etc for a 1000sqft apartment.

Thanks!

my inverse point of view, for i'll be relocating from kl to hk in a couple o weeks...my new employers have set me up with interdean and santa fe, both of which i have found to be pretty efficient.

I've used Interdean.they are pretty good and certainly one of the cheaper options. They did snap 2 of my golf clubs but this was bound to happen at some point any way.

Allied Pickfords are fantastic. They are incredibly quick and very flexible on timing. I gave them 2 days notice and they packed a 1000sq ft apartment in Singapore and were out the door in 5hours. that was 8 days ago and it all arrives in HK on Monday. One of them also fixed a flat on my next door neighbours bicycle while they were doing it.

Having said that, they are expensive. I am not sure i would use them if it was my own money...i would probably go with interdean. If your company is footing the bill...Allied is a no brainer.

We used Allied Pickford to move from Singapore to Hong Kong and as Bacon pointed out the guys in Singapore were fantastic! BUT, sorry to say the Hong Kong crew did not impress us as much. We had to put a call into the company because things were not going well. After the call the big guy personally came to the house and things got straightened out. All in all it wasn't that bad, but it was only the Singapore side that was stressfree.
