I approached this with some trepidation, as I had never done this before. Some of the sites I found through a google search were not very helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to find a local company that said "no problem". They were very helpful and responsive and Paul kept me and my collaborator informed through the process. The items included some delicate electronics and after I boxed them they re-boxed my boxes into crates. Everything arrived safely and on time. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Ship several pieces of medical imaging equipment from my lab in Pittsburgh PA to a collaborator in Manchester, UK

These guys ROCK! Paul McMorrow spent a tremendous amount of time with me, strategizing the best way to pack up valuable antiques to make a cross-country journey. The game changed on us several times as we both learned that what I was planning to have them moved increased by two times. Paul was very patient and helpful in brainstorming how to save money while ensuring a safe trip. He went way beyond the call of duty, particularly since more surprises awaited us once the crew arrived. One piece in particular, a very large lighted shadow box of a 19th-century leaded stained glass window, was particular vulnerable as age had already allowed the glass to buckle against the lead, making for an uneven and fragile surface. The crew arrived on time, was very efficient and friendly, packed everything at their place, actually sent me photographs of the items packed for transport, and immediately provided tracking information. I received everything in short order, all in perfect condition. I can't imagine a thing they could have done to make it a more positive experience, and they did a lot of things to help in the process, just to be of service. I am ecstatic.
Description of Work: Gave expert advice on how to coordinate delicate but large shipment of antiques halfway across the country, then helped to safely pack and transport them.
