Does anyone have experience with Movecorp to ship their items internationally? Any information is appreciated. Merci.

Re: Experience/Reviews with movecorp.co.uk

I used them to move some boxes of stuff over from the UK, delivered about 3 weeks ago (the day before I got here).

Cost: They did it quite cheaply as had a van going anyway, so you could get lucky with timing etc, check when you contact them...

Delivery: Everything arrived intact, which is the main thing!
They were a bit vague at first about delivery times/forms needed, but in the end all was ok, and that may have been to do with the rush to get it on that shipment (and hence at reduced cost).

Forms: had to fill in a detailed-ish form of contents, insurance form (if you chose to take it) and the swiss customs form. They provided examples of all of these to make it easier to fill out the right amount of detail.

Don't think anything was checked as all the boxes were still sealed when they got here, but I hadn't put anything questionable in there!

Hope that helps!

Re: Experience/Reviews with movecorp.co.uk

Hi.

We have used them as well to move all our household goods from London (from Big Yellow storage) to Zurich in November. They were fairly competitive with their quote but delivery was 5 days later then what was initially suggested by them (we had a shared load rather than individual load). Most items were ok, some cracks and chips here and there but then I guess that's just the risk when moving long distance. Had some issues with the forms though - they had all the forms from us (inventory, insurance, etc) but 1 day before delivery their german sister company who was doing the border checks for Switzerland called as they had no forms from the UK. So I had to rush to get all the forms sent to him via email which was a bit of a pain.

Overall they did an ok job.

Re: Experience/Reviews with movecorp.co.uk

i have got a quote from them and it is cheaper than any other companies, so far i tried to book the pick up date, and they couldn't tell me but asked me to give them like 10 days window gap.
that means within 10 days they could come anytime and i wouldn't know when. so for the cheap price sake, maybe i could work around it. however, i have received rather negative comments from the competitors, and i never mentioned movercop to the competitors....now i don't know if i should still go ahead..

Do any of you have experience with them for a move from Switzerland to the USA? Their price seems reasonable but just worried about our stuff going from here to UK to USA.
