The Good Stuff
Clear Updates
Customers commonly received updates from quotation through collection, shipping, customs and delivery, with quick answers to questions.
Storage Flexibility
ELL handled storage before onward shipping, including a secure, dry warehouse with extendable monthly arrangements when paperwork caused delays.
Customs Support
Reviews describe help with customs paperwork and clearance, including a 100-box move to Auckland that cleared without issues.
Complex Moves
Customers used ELL for international household shipments alongside car transport and even air travel for two cats to Saudi Arabia.
Competitive Quotes
Several reviewers found the quote fair or lower than competing movers, with one apartment shift chosen after comparing several quotes.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Scope. Ask whether delivery includes reassembly, since one customer discovered it was outside the agreed scope.
Discuss Insurance. Ask for the insurance terms and claims requirements before paying; reviewers describe optional cover and later claim complications.
Plan Buffer. Build extra time into international shipping plans rather than relying only on the first estimate; one shipment took eight months instead of one.
Check Inventory. Review the packing list carefully before collection and confirm priority items, especially if capacity or route conditions change.
Ask Restrictions. Request clear packing guidance for prohibited items, liquids, fragile goods and move-out approvals before the team arrives.
Choose Container. Ask about shared versus sole-container shipping: one reviewer chose a sole container specifically to avoid waiting.

Popular Mentions
Shared container
Shared-container shipping was used for smaller or budget-conscious relocations, including a UAE-to-Europe shipment and a UK move.
Sole container
One customer selected a sole container to avoid the longer wait associated with shared shipping and reported an on-schedule arrival.
Common Concerns
Long Delays
Transit times can substantially exceed the initial estimate: one Italy shipment was quoted at a month but took eight months.
Damage Claims
One customer reported broken items, boxes containing cockroaches and repeated paperwork during a delayed shipment.
Scope Clarity
Reassembly was not included in one Melbourne delivery, although the customer said this would have been helpful to clarify upfront.
Partner Variability
Destination service depends partly on the local partner; one Norway delivery team arrived late and had only two people.

The Bottom Line
ELL Worldwide Movers in Oud Metha handles more than a straightforward apartment shift. You can book household packing and international relocation, arrange shared- or sole-container shipping, and use storage when your move-out and delivery dates do not line up. Reviews also mention car transport and pet relocation, including two cats flown to Saudi Arabia.
Packing is the clearest strength. Customers describe labeled boxes, custom-fit supports, cushioning and careful handling of fragile goods; one 100-box move to Auckland arrived undamaged and cleared customs without trouble. Communication is another recurring positive, with updates covering quotations, collection, shipping, customs and final delivery.
Several customers also found the pricing competitive after comparing other movers. There is an important caveat: international transit can be unpredictable. A Sydney shipment took almost six months, while another customer reported an eight-month delay against a one-month quote, with breakages and cockroaches in the boxes.
Destination work is handled partly by local partners, so ask who will deliver and unpack your goods. Before booking, get the delivery scope in writing, especially reassembly, and ask for the insurance terms and claims process. If timing matters, compare shared and sole-container options and leave a generous buffer.
