| Hello Doug,Thank you again for coordinating my international move. From planning to pick-up, everything ran smoothly. Communication with you, billing and the insurance provider have also been smooth. I was especially pleased with the local moving company that you hired in NY. They were incredible – they called me to confirm the move date, arrived promptly and were very helpful with packing all our furniture and odds-and-ends.I would definitely recommend Intlmove to friends and family. Thank you again, and I look forward to receiving my stuff in the coming weeks! ~danielle yuen
