Run from this company like the plague. I shipped my belongings from London back to the US. It took me a year and a half to get my stuff after they lost my paperwork. They never once called or mailed a letter the entire time! I received three email responses only over this time, with PDFs of the paperwork I was somehow supposed to fill out and email back. I had already mailed physical copies to London. Nothing. Nine months later I faxed my paperwork to the "American rep", secured proof and emailed it to them in London demanding acknowledgement of the receipt of my paperwork. Several months later I was informed they had received my paperwork, but I now had to pay SEVERAL HUNDRED ADDITIONAL POUNDS for the "storage" of my belongings over this time. Again, not a single call ever returned, ever. Not a single letter. Only three emails with PDFs that most people can't edit digitally. Over a year and a half. And then my belongings held hostage over additional payment, them knowing I can do nothing from another country except pay. How is this company still in business?

I have had a very similar story to scotwf. We paid for seven seas to send our box to Calgary, but rung them and got it changed to Vancouver for a fee of $50. The sent it to Calgary anyway and we STILL have not received our box 3 months later! They never return calls never reply to emails and every time we ring up no one knows what’s going on or the fob us off to ‘the US team’ who then say they will find out and ring us back… which they never do. They have lied to us saying that couriers wont work on the weekend. This is quite possibly the worst company I have dealt with, not just with moving, but with any sort of company at all…Ever. They not only do not do what they say, but the customer service and after purchase care of the team is terrible. DO NOT USE SEAVEN SEAS!!! I am going to all I can do to make sure this company is never used again, that’s how strong I feel about this devious company.

I am SOUTH AFRICAN Iship with seven seas all the time. My property arrives safely and intact all the time. My friends use this company as well and they are happy with the service.

I was contacted two weeks after my consignment was collected from my house (while in Thailand on Holiday) and told that they 'were unable to send my boxes as I had FAILED to supplie a copy of my visa for the destination country.' At no point during consultation, official quotation and payment did any one ask me for this nor was it on any paper work. They sent my boxes anyway after I explained I didn't have a visa stamp until I actually arrive at my destination! 1st hurdle passed!

Next, 18 weeks later (not the max 12 as per the deal) my boxes arrive in New Zealand where they are held for ransom by the agent. I am sent a invoice for a MAF inspection for $120 for three tea boxes. I pay this reluctantly. The boxes arrive 2 weeks later (total 20 weeks now!) un-inspected. I call them, they tell me that the container was x-rayed and that the cost is dived to the customers by volume. I did the maths... This means the MAF charge $12,000 dollars the x-ray a container. I contacted the port, it cost $90/container.

Liars and cheats, poor management and hidden costs along the way.

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! We were quoted EURO 199.00 all inclusive online, and over the phone to ship our snowboards from Ireland to Canada, when I got my credit card bill it was double that! We were told that we would always be able to track our item online as it traveled round the world. This part of the website never actually worked. So 3 weeks after seven seas picked up our items in Ireland, we called to check on the progress, (assuming it would be at least out of Europe and on it's way). It was in London England, they had been holding it WITHOUT notifying us in any way. If it had been there for another week they said they would have started charging us for storage. They said we didn't fill in all the paper work, even though we filled in all the sheets they gave us. As it turns out they lost our paper work, then found it again. Each time we tried to contact them no one was willing to assist us and they all made it seem like we had done something wrong.
I have many friends moving from Europe and Australia moving to Canada I will tell all of them and everyone I know NEVER TO USE SEVEN SEAS WORLDWIDE.
As stated above, liars, cheats and hidden costs along the way, a scam!
