Hong Kong to UK - no problem
HKM, January 2018
"I have just shipped a load of stored possessions from Hong Kong to the UK. Door to door took just over two months and cost around what I was expecting. The Seven Seas crew at both ends could not have been more helpful and I had no concerns about the shipment at any time. There were no breakages - even the glass on an A3 framed certificate (bubble wrapped) arrived intact. Great job."
