Found a solution for my short notice!
They found me a packing company who spoke English at short notice to help them out as their own people were not available. Communication was pretty good throughout. I would have liked to know exactly what I needed to do in order for my belongings to be in the next delivery to the UK, but it didn't matter that it went the following week, so that was OK anyway! Used the company on my move to and from Italy so I would definitely recommend them!
