Shipping boxes to the UK - any recommendations?

Can anyone recommend any international removal/shipping companies? We're in Spain (Madrid) but will be moving to Bristol in July and want to send back some of our stuff separately. Not loads - maybe 8 cubic metres of packed boxes.

I've been looking at various companies online, but wondered if anyone has any personal experience/recommendation?

Thanks!

A few years ago, I used this company to ship from the UK, and they were fine. No frills, but efficient, reliable and responsive. And very reasonably priced.

I shipped mainly clothes, books etc - no furniture or heavy household goods.

I think it took 7 weeks for boxes to arrive, which was fine as I had brought most of what I needed in the short term with me in luggage on the flight.

Call up Langdon Removals and speak to them. They are a Bristol based removal company that does lots of trip to France and Spain (amongst other places). I have found them brilliant for part loads (i.e. a few boxes) from Bristol to France and the prices charged were very reasonable.

I would say avoid DHL. They broke 2 boxes, lost the contents of some of them and then took many many phone calls and finally the threat of legal action before they settled my claim (I had insurance). Appalling.
