Selling shares listed on Amsterdam market

Can I ask for some recommendations, please? I need to sell some Shell shares that are registered on the Dutch stock exchange. For UK shares I use X-O but they don't seem to handle these. Degiro look okay and reasonably priced but don't get outstanding reviews, though good enough. Any experience with them - or other players?
Thanks in advance.

    How are you holding these? As certificates? If so, this will limit your options.

    No, they are with EquatePlus which is expensive so looking at my options to use someone else.

    Okay that should be easy enough; have a look at this thread from a couple of days ago:

    If you want really cheap i.e. zero commission and a 0.15% fx fee look at T212 or if you want reliable but a bit more expensive, but probably still cheaper than EquatePlus, Hargreaves Lansdown. De Giro's transfer form put me off: it seems so amateurish.
