Not recommend in Thailand

1. The service is not door-to-door as it is advertised on the website.
2. The inability to schedule a time to drop off or pick up the boxes in advance has caused me a lot of trouble since it can only be done during working hours on workdays.
3. The customer service is not friendly and professional. He interrupted my talking several times and did not help solve problems.
4. As the customer service people said, I emailed the company to write my complaint; however never heard anything back.

Dear Adahliu, we are sorry to hear of your disappointment in our service and will try to speak to you to clarify what were the issues you were unhappy with since this is not in our communication history with you.

The service is door-to-door but sometimes local geography and limited access specific to Thailand's towns and villages can make this more challenging. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We do try to provide a time or time of day for you to prepare for the arrival of your shipment but local roads to your address and distance from our partner's depot can sometimes make this difficult to estimate accurately.

We will review all your calls with us to investigate if any of our Advisors were rude or unhelpful and let you know our findings.

Regards, Seven Seas Worldwide

Amazing as always !

I have now used seven seas multiple times with each move made between the UK & Australia. I have always had an exemplary service from the very start of the process to the end. They are prompt with their replies and send numerous emails so you do not forget anything. I particularly love the customer service of the men who have picked up and dropped off the items at the homes; they are always kind and happy to answer any questions warmly. It is a very seamless process- I do not have any concerns for my belongings each time the move has been undertaken. Thanks so much; I will very likely use this service numerous times in the future.

Good and friendly service

Good and friendly service. Driver was very helpful. Instructions regarding naming of items inside boxes might just be a thing you can be more specific on as we had to re-do our lists when the shipment had already been collected. But overall, we had a very good experience with the company.

Thank you Jacques for using our MoveCube service for your international move to Australia from South Africa, apologises for not being clearer but Australia is a destination with both Customs and Bio security so accuracy is essential, we will look at improving on making this clear.

Save yourself money and time and do it…


Save yourself money and time and do it yourself with a professional shipping company.

Ordered 2 boxes to be sent from Australia to the UK.

Despite providing all the information needed. SevenSeas miscommunicated this with FedEx leading to significant delays to these arriving. I would be okay with this if SevenSeas actually managed it and communicated. Instead it was down to me to do this.

Throughout this I had no communication, called over 10 times and had to lodge a complaint for anything to happen. Even still the response I got was a complete denial of any fault, saying it was out of their hands with FedEx. Which again was not true and is surely what you pay a shipping company to manage for you?

Still here 4 weeks on with 1 box stuck in fedex. The excuse we are given is that it’s due to customs, but that is not true as both boxes were cleared under the same declaration.

Thank you for your posting Laurie and letting us know your Job Reference.

Your send two boxes by air to the UK from Australia.

You completed our online documentation and this information is passed to Fedex our preferred courier on this route. We specialise exclusively in shipping personal effects and household items around the world. This is all we do, so every single shipment that we send is composed of "used personal effects".

Once a shipment is sent through a courier, like Fedex, it enters their network and therefore our direct control is lost. This is not an issue but it appears Fedex did not enter the clearance as personal effects. HMRC, the UK Customs, demanded more information for your shipment, principally wanting values.

You were not to know this, and had no need to know this information if the process we use had been followed, but when clearing through Customs, the valuation they are seeking is the "resale value" i.e. what the item could be sold for in the country. We give a low valuation since most personal effects are composed of clothes, shoes, etc, and have a low resale value.

When Fedex contacted you, you gave them the "insurance value" i.e. the value of the item if purchased new. This has been given to Customs which has now resulted in the delay and possible duties to be paid.

We deeply regret what has happened but since Fedex have started the clearance process we have a limited ability to be involved. We will work hard to see if we can have your shipment released as soon as possible.

UPDATE, your final box has now been delivered.

Following on from my last review

Following on from my last review, I am disappointed to say that staff are still providing conflicting and incorrect information — one person will state one thing, while another will say something entirely different. I have clear evidence to prove this, including written quotes and recorded call logs.

I chose air shipping, paying a higher cost on the assurance that my goods would arrive within a maximum of 20 days. This has not been the case at all. When the tracking stopped updating, I emailed to ask for an update, and again received two completely different answers: one response confirmed delivery within the promised 20-day window, while another stated it would take an additional week — meaning it will arrive well past the original agreed timeframe. I paid extra for air shipping specifically because it was supposed to be faster, yet my shipment has been unnecessarily delayed.

I also strongly advise customers to be very careful, as there are numerous unexpected extra charges that staff try to pressure you into paying. Save yourself time, money, and a great deal of stress — avoid using Seven Seas.

As I expected, I know any response to this review will not acknowledge or address their mistakes, just like the last time; they clearly do not investigate issues properly before replying, and my previous response was full of untrue statements. I would, however, appreciate it if they actually looked into the facts of this case before replying this time.

**last review are paste below**
I’ve had a horrific experience with 7 Seas; every single step has been a disaster. Their staff is completely uninformed; I was told boxes could be 30kg, only to find out later that air shipping is capped at 26kg. I was even quoted to ship a TV, only to be told after the fact it wasn't possible via air, forcing me into a new, more expensive quote.

The website is a nightmare. It refused to accept my document uploads, and when I called for help, the agents were useless. I eventually had to email everything manually just for them to upload it for me. Now, because they are "reviewing" the new quote caused by their own misinformation, my shipment is facing further delays. I still have no idea what my shipping timeframe even is.

The worst part was the collection. I am a petite female weighing 38kg, and I had multiple 30kg boxes. The driver only had to step one inch inside the door to help, but he flat-out refused, leaving me to struggle with weight nearly equal to my own body mass. Between the misinformation, the broken website, and the lack of basic human decency from the driver, I would never recommend this company. Avoid at all costs.

We are sorry to hear of your unhappiness with our service, Tanya, you are using our Boxes and Baggage service by air to Thailand from the United Kingdom.

The maximum weight of any item in a shipment is 30kg or 66lbs, and in the case of an air shipment, the minimum weight of our boxes, based on their volume, is 26kg. This means even if the physical weight is less than 26kg, the air charge will be for 26kg. The 26kg is not a maximum.

Your original quote was for 3 boxes only, if you had entered TV our online quote, you would have informed that this type of item cannot go by air. We acknowledge that our Advisors gave contradictory information on this matter, for which we apologise for the confusion caused.

We regret your difficulty in uploading the documentation for your shipment. There is no error with our system but there is a maximum file size which may have caused the issue you describe. Our team have tried to help which has included accepting your emails and uploading the documents for you.

Our quote does make it clear that the driver will collect from the door of your property but will not enter the property itself.

We x-ray all air shipments which, despite signing a form that you did not have such items, revealed that you had a item which could not be sent by air and had to be removed which further delayed your shipment.

We are sorry for your unhappiness but we have tried and continue to try to assist you with your shipment.

Delays in delivery

I've used this company multiple times in the past, and haven't had an issue. However on my latest move, my boxes, which are going from Toronto to Sydney, have sat in Melbourne for 8+ days after clearing customs. The shipment is already delayed, and I have called twice now only to be firstly provided a commitment to come back to me with a firm delivery date (this never happened), and then more excuses on the second call, where I was still not able to be provided with a delivery date.

I understand when items are on ships crossing the ocean, things are out of SevenSeas control, but after clearing customs in Australia things are entirely within their control, and considering my shipment is already late, I don't think it's acceptable to just be retaining the items in Melbourne for an unknown timeframe.

My advice to anyone moving overseas, add additional items with your airline, it works out cheaper per item and you get them straight away, not 4+ months later.

Thank you Michael for your posting and many thanks for the previous times you have used our Boxes and Baggage service by sea.

You have not provided your job number to allow us to investigate so we can only reply generally.

We quoted you a estimated transit time and within that time there are points where we are waiting for other shipments to accumulate to allow us to send the most economic shipment.

This can happen prior to shipping - we advise on the quote this can take up to 3 weeks - and upon arrival at the destination and before delivering to the depot or partner prior to delivery. This time is built into the transit time already so it is not a delay.

We are sorry this has caused you frustration and we apologise unreservedly for our team making this clear when you called.

Our transit time between Canada and Australia is quoted as being between 89-109 days.

Good to deal with

Easy to arrange shipment of good from my home, pick up was from my home address and the driver arrived on the day he was supposed to. Had a slight problem with payment due to mine being covered by a third party and for a couple of weeks I got emails to say the payment was still required, they couldn’t find it even though my name and job number were attached. All in all good to deal with from the export side, will have to wait and see if any issues when my stuff arrives at destination country

Seven Seas Worldwide was an absolute pleasure to deal with! From the outset their communication was excellent and efficient.
We especially appreciated their tracking service, that enabled us to see exactly where our Move Cube was and what stages we were in for the total shipment, the payment invoices came on time and the payment method was easy to use. When our goods arrived in the UK from South Africa, the service continued to be excellent with their driver, Mitchell being on time, very friendly and courteous when delivering our goods to their final destination.

We would certainly recommend their services to anyone relocating.
