From Scotland to the US: A Smooth Move Home with Cos Freight and Sirelo

A Shift in Plans — and a Smart Decision

We moved back to the US after living in Scotland for a year. At first, we thought we would only bring back what we could fit into boxes on an airplane. However, after using Sirelo to research international moving companies, we realized it would be a much better idea to ship everything back instead.
Shipping our belongings allowed us to bring home many items that wouldn’t fit in our suitcases — things we would have otherwise had to leave behind in Scotland. Working with Sirelo helped us narrow down the long list of potential movers to just a few solid options, which made the decision-making process much easier and far less overwhelming.

Choosing Cos Freight: A Clear Standout

Cos Freight was the only mover that contacted me via WhatsApp, which I had marked as my preferred method of communication when filling out my details on Sirelo. They were competitively priced from the start and became even more affordable as we refined the specific services we needed.
Our representative, Zayn, stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process. He was always kind and considerate, even responding to our questions outside of business hours due to the time zone difference. I also looked into the other companies suggested by Sirelo, but none of them could match Cos Freight in terms of price, service, and communication. I would absolutely choose them again without hesitation.

Moving Day: Quick, Friendly, and Stress-Free

Everything about the move was fantastic. The mover came the day before — just as he had offered — to take a look at everything we planned to ship. On moving day, he arrived exactly on time and helped us carry everything down to the truck.
He was extremely helpful, strong, and friendly. The loading process went smoothly and efficiently — we were completely finished in under three hours. Together, we packed the truck carefully to ensure the safe transport of our belongings to the warehouse. The whole experience was calm, well-organized, and reassuring.

Tips for a Successful International Move

The first and most important tip I would give is to start with Sirelo. I had no idea where to begin when it came to researching international shipping companies, but Sirelo made it so much easier by filtering my options down to a manageable list.
Next, I highly recommend using Sirelo’s luggage volume calculator. It helped me estimate how much space our items would take up, which made it possible to get accurate quotes from each company based on the same volume (in cubic meters).
After that, reach out to each company Sirelo suggests and request a detailed quote. Compare prices and services, then choose the one that fits your needs best. Stay in close communication with your chosen company, and make sure they understand the specific details of your situation: the floor you live on, the volume and nature of your items, how urgent your move is, your budget, and any other relevant logistics.
Starting the process well-informed and clearly communicating your needs can make all the difference. Thanks to Sirelo and Cos Freight, our move home from Scotland was far easier than we ever expected.
