Dear Michael and all, Just want to circle back and let you know that all of our stuff was delivered yesterday to our house in France. Very timely! Thank you for all your help in making this complicated transition to Europe a little bit less stressful. The packing company you used was very professional and I have recommended you and your company to Sotheby’s International (they were the ones who sold our home) in case they have other people crossing the pond. Thanks again!!

We used Southern Winds International to move about 2000 lbs of goods from Seattle to Melbourne, Australia and everything went very smoothly and all of our goods arrived with no damage to anything. We highly recommend this company. Michael Gilbert was our Southern Winds International contact and was very responsive to all my questions both prior to and after the packing up of our goods. The local agent in Seattle (Tacoma) was Lincoln Moving and Storage and in Australia it was Transglobal Shipping and Storage. Both local agents also provided excellent service. In addition to Southern Winds, we obtained quotes from Rainier and Stevens. Rainier gave us a quote for shipment of 10,000 lbs of…

Hi We are moving from SF Bay area to Izmir, Turkey… We had never done this before, and needless to say, were worried about shipping. I contacted many many companies, and received many quotes. Some were very low (beware!) and some were very high, and then I did some research and came to this excellent website! I contacted Southern Winds, specifically Michael Gilbert, and he gave us a middle of the road quote. Going on the good reviews from this site, I decided to trust them and gave them the deal. Mr. Gilbert was very courteous, very helpful with all the repeated questions by me, then again with my husband, and never got frustrated. He did not send anyone, however, to see the shipment …

Dear Donovan, I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all the effort you put in since October 2013 to make every last detail of my move go so smoothly. You were always so patient with all my questions. And you were always kind, no matter how stressed out I was! Thank you for that, and being so calm. I’m almost sorry that the move is over 🙂 I will look forward to settling here for now and you can be sure that when I move back, I will call you. Best wishes for the rest of 2014! Many Thanks

Donal

Michele, hi Kristine. Just to let you know that my crate arrived safely last week…. Thank you so much for a very successful move. Everything was handled so professionally and we are thrilled with it. 🙂

Anita Bermingham

Dear Ed, We wanted to “close the loop” with you on our recent relocation from CA to Maui. After all the horror stories we heard and read about sleazy moving companies and scams and price gauging, and broken or lost items, etc, we are so pleased to report that our move went off beautifully. We had a terrific crew of movers at both ends – Excel Moving in CA and then Royal Hawaiian here in Maui. Everyone was friendly, efficient, helpful, pleasant, respectful of our “stuff” and all around fabulous. We are so glad we found you folks and that you have reliable vendors under your wing. Plus, your patience with us and our bzillion questions along the way helped tremendously. We really wanted …
