We used BIR for relocating from Johannesburg to Norway. The service offered by BIR was excellent. The shipment reached in specified time. All furniture and fragile items were well packed and in perfect condition on arrival in Norway.
The staff in SA and Norway were professional and we are happy with the overall experience.

Very professional and efficient. Took the stress of packing away from us and it was a last minute decision to relocate. But everything worked out well and we received our goods in excellent condition. Not a single damage to our items. I am so glad I used BIR and will definitely recommend them to anyone who is relocating

I would recommend British International to anyone. From the packers that where extremely professional and made what was a very stressfull situation a pleasure to [Names removed by Sirelo] at the administration end, they were amazing and made sure that everything went smoothly. Best Company for moving Internationally. Price wise they are also very competitive .

If you are considering to make use of BIR please think again! We relocated from SA to the USA in January this year. Initially it started off great and we felt confident that we made the right choice. Unfortunately our confidence are now completely lost. We at least got our consignment at the beginning of March this year, however we incurred a lot of additional costs to which they agreed some of it should not have been for our account in writing. We however paid the additional cost due to lack of feedback from their offices and as we didn’t want to accumulate any further costs and in order for our consignment to be released by USA customs.
Till this date we have not received feedback as promised by the GM, even after numerous follow-ups.
Disappointing and frustrating to say the least!

Do yourselves a huge favour and use someone else. Anyone but these guys! This company not only forgot to ship my goods the first time causing me to wait and further 5 months on top of the 3 month initial delivery time. What was worse was they didn’t notify me of the fact that my goods were not shipped till I paid all delivery and storage charges on the receiving side 3 months later only to be told, ‘sorry your goods are still in Joburg!’ How do you forget to ship a palate, then not tell someone for 3 months! To make matters worse we specifically ask for a statue to be looked after (huge sentimental value). We had assurances from the boss of the company via email this would be taken care of. Needless to say the statue was destroyed. The rest of the goods were delivered in good condition but the most important piece was destroyed. So between incompetence, poor comms, and destroyed packages, not the best experience! To top it off I’m still waiting for a refund for the charges on the first delivery which never arrived! How do these guys still get business!Read more
