    Not great. We got Abels to manage our move from the UK to USA (California bay area) and we were…read moreless than satisfied with the service. (1) Long Delivery: We got a part-load service, meaning that we had to wait for a full container before our shipment left. We were told that for our case, this would be typically 6-8 weeks. It took 14 weeks in the end. (2) Non-transparent pricing. When asked, they told us that the cost was pro-rated based on the volume of our shipment. We were quoted for 40 cubic feet, but in the end we only used 37 cu ft. However, we had to pay the quoted price because it's the same price between 30-40 cu ft. I don't understand why this is because we were on the part-load service and they were filling up the entire container anyway. (3) Wrong port. We were told that our shipment would go to port A but instead it went to a port 350+ miles away. We were told at the start that if our destination was more than 30 or 60 miles away from the port, we would incur extra charges. This meant not only further delay in our shipment, but us having to pay extra $95. It was all a tad more stressful than I liked. So I would definitely go with a different company next time.

    Like most other reviewers, very poor experience with Abels/Sclusa. We moved from London to San…read moreFrancisco back in 2014. We were told 6/8 weeks for delivery, it took almost FIVE MONTHS (May to September). We were not informed that we would have to pay an extra fee at the arrival to the port (over $100, if I remember correctly), which isn't the end of the world, but I generally prefer clear communication and properly set expectations. Lack of transparency and overall disappointing experience, avoid if you have other providers in the area.

    DO NOT USE MANANDVANINUK!!! when i first booked them, the man i spoke with on the phone gave me a…read moregood quote and seemed friendly. He promised me faithfully that i wouldn't have to lift a finger when it came to moving day which was reassuring as i have long standing back issues and was recovering from pneumonia at the time. When the 2 men arrived, the more senior of the 2 came up to the 2nd floor where my flat was located.....which he huffed and puffed about and kept shaking his head (i had informed the company of this when i booked). Taking a look around he then informed me that i had too much stuff and that i would need to give him an extra £100 cash, which i shouldn't let the office know about.....this was a fee to cover the 'overloading'. I stupidly agreed as i just wanted it to be over. I then said that i would wait downstairs at my neighbours and he looked at me sternly and told me that i must help with all the boxes. He walked up those 4 flights of stairs maybe 5 times and myself and his very keen colleague did all the rest. My back was getting worse by the minute and when i asked to take a break because of my back issues, he told me absolutely not because he was in a hurry......all the while, he just stayed on the van talking on his phone. To add insult to injury, he made me unload the other end too. I was stupid for going along with it but i was a girl on my own and he was very intimidating. I was shell shocked by the end of it and he even sneared at me when i paid him and asked for more money.....as it had taken too long apparently. Like it was my fault that he didn't help or that the company had underestimated the job at hand!! I complained to the office the next day and was promised a call back which didn't come. I asked for my £100 back which i never saw and im now suffering on a daily basis with my back as that awful day really aggrivated an old injury. They are liars and crooks. Do not use them. Go with a well known company that won't rip u off.......its just not worth it!!!!!!!
