djb007 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 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.

welshie Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anouska Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 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 Anouska x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanhewitt Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 We haggled with Pickfords and got them down to £4,100 + Insurance. Anglo Pacific were reasonable but were terrible at getting back to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest craigandkerry Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 http://www.atlantisltd.co.uk/australian.html 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb007 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 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. Regards Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest craigandkerry Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 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.
