Consumer Report: El-Al Shipping FMC#018809N
Since Our SOUR formula is not fit to rate international movers I will only present the results of my findings without rating this company:
I would suggest you to do some more shopping around, since this company has many red flags. You can get some more quotes from international movers, and collect at least 3 visual estimates before you decide on a mover. You can also try the agents of major van lines, since most of them are licensed to do international moves.
In any case, I would recommend for everyone moving abroad to read this article from Federal Maritime Commission's website: Complaints or Inquiries Involving Individual Shipments of Household Goods or Private Automobiles.
Good luck with your move,

Answer by alexzehn (Alex Z.)
- El-Al Shipping seems to be connected to GlobEx International (www.globexshipping.com - the websites are almost identical). I could not locate any of those companies in the FMCSA SaferSys.org site.
- I found two addresses associated with this company: 3855 Northern Drive Fair Lawn NJ, 07410 (Vanlines.com) and 200 Knuth Road, Suite 214 ? Boynton Beach, FL 33436 (their website).
- Their New Jersey BBB record shows 18 complaints (a pretty high number), and the Florida BBB record shows another 3 complaints since March 2007 (just over 4 month, a high number).
- Other consumer sites also list several complaints (for example see this complaint on RipoffReport.com: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/218/RipOff0218952.htm, including a responce from the ex-employee that claims the company is a scammer), and numerous discussion on MovingScam.com. There is a lot of confusion regarding this company in the MovingScam.com forums.
In any case, I would recommend for everyone moving abroad to read this article from Federal Maritime Commission's website: Complaints or Inquiries Involving Individual Shipments of Household Goods or Private Automobiles.
Good luck with your move,
