HI

We have gone with a company called GB Liners. We found the pricing to be very competitive and the staff have been exemplory. Our belongings are currently in storage and the staff who carried out the removals and packing couldnt have been better i would recommend them to anyone.

Regards
Darrell.

Hi

We used Fox International, they gave us by far the cheapest quote. They used Wridgways this end and not one of our belongings were lost/damaged etc.

Thanks so much everyone and Majesticcritic, I will watch out for your posts.

Looking into the others mentioned now.

I have had quotes from Anglo Pacific, Hoults Removals, Pickfords, John Mason and Crown Removals. All quoted between £3600 - £4300 for a 20ft container (sole use). I have decided to go with Crown Removals. The consultant was very good and gave lots of information about moving to Perth. Good luck!!

Hi

Just a question who was the cheapest ? Who was the most expensive ?

I have had one so far (PSS) £ 4300, more coming next week.

Will update when I get other quotes.

Regards and good luck

Hi Anouska,

John Mason came in @ £3600. Pickfords, Anglo and Crown all came in around £4300. Hope that helps. :wacko:

[Anouska]

Thank you geordie lass :)

Yes it helps we are shipping a 20 ft like you, I have used PSS twice before and paid them one years storage, I was happy with them but I felt let down when they didn't offer any discount for all my past custom.

Thanks again

We haggled with Pickfords and got them down to £4,100 + Insurance.

Anglo Pacific were reasonable but were terrible at getting back to us.

[djb007]

GB Liners came in at £3900 + insurance

hello,

I have no idea what they are like, but looking round it's the cheapest quote we've found. we are hoping to be heading there in January and we intend to use them. If anyone's heard good or bad about them then please let us know.

cheers

HI

Not heard of the company, but just ensure your container is for sole use as i believe with some of the cheaper quotes this is not the case.

Cheers Darrell - yeah supposedly it would be for sole use but will have to see, the only thing they don't cover is any potential extra costs at customs.
