If it makes you feel any better, don't blame yourself for saving money. I went with the reputable (expensive) option moving from the UK to the US. Still took over a year, and half my things were broken. I paid for insurance too, and that was a complete waste of money, as they refused to cover any of it.
I'm sorry about your un replaceable items, but don't feel any guilt over it.
