I needed to ship a large LCD TV, which many will not touch.
TV was collected, crated and delivered almost as fast as I could type the email.
Excellent.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many years ago as a new online business owner shipping over sized items in the UK, to Europe and America, April and her team were life savers. They gave me tips on packaging, sizing of packaging and the best means to send the items.
I never had any complaints about the condition of the items upon arrival, nor were any items lost.
For anyone new to shipping over sized items I cannot recommend them highly enough.
