advice on int'l moving companies

23 years ago

I am moving to Barcelona, from Chicago, in April and have contacted two companies, North American and Allied, for estimates on the cost of moving my things. I would appreciate some advice about the move, and especially if anyone has used one of these companies to move themselves i'd love to hear about it. With a move this complicated, it seems like a lot could go wrong, and i'd like to use a company that was recommended by someone with experience.

Thanks!

Christine
