Hopefully this should be the appropriate forum to ask this question.  I have been offered a TT position in the US, and thus I and my spouse are relocating from our European country to the USA.  Would anyone have any recommendation on a good relocation/cargo firm that would allow us to send a cargo container with the furniture and things that we want to bring with us to our new home?  I have found a number of possibilities, but I currently have no way of checking their reliability and many of these places do not have very polished websites.

I've stated here before.... I used Sefco when I moved to the States. Joe moves diplomats from all over the world to places all over the world.

At the time I moved to the UK his prices were more than reasonable. Since I've not used the service since I can't say anything other than that.

Thanks, expat.  I am going to ask for quotes from these too.  Currently, I have a quote request out for American Baggage (http://www.discount-shipping.net).  However, I have no idea if they are reliable, and their name fazes me a bit...

Names shouldn't bother you at all. These companies are brokers. They arrange everything for you. You can a choice of how much you want them to do... a full move... or you arrange loading and unloading of the container. You can arrange all of it yourself. But I found it much easier to have them do it. I have NO idea what is involved in a big move. That's why I had them do it.
