We've just moved from the UK and we used a Finnish company called Beweship who we found to be excellent.
They actually used Allied Pickfords to pack all our stuff into crates and then Beweship came and collected the crates. We had 4 crates in total. Packing started on Tuesday, was finished by Wednesday and in Espoo by the following Wednesday. The Beweship guys would have unpacked the lot for us but we decided to do it ourselves. Some of our stuff is still in their storage warehouse in Vantaa but we are allowed to go and get things when we need them for no extra cost.

PS I see from your profile that you do triathlons...if you want any info on local clubs and swimming pools let me know. Where are you moving to?

How much did you pay for the Beweship moving? I reckon some of the moving companies charge you quite much. There are other ones as well for instance victor ek etc.

I you want a cheaper transportation offer. For instance if you pack the goods yourself (saves you at least 50 %) then you could look into this finnish company http://www.travelcargo.fi They are specialized in private persons and have quite cheap transportation options. They also handles normal removals, which of course are !"#¤% expensive...

Shop around.
Try and find a Finnish company whose logistics have screwed up, if they have an empty truck coming back get ready to haggle.
