chrisandcord Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Moving in November, when would you guys say we should start getting quotes for shipping?! Shall I just start now? I want to do all the big companies so might take a few weeks anyway! What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bindylou Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi, I moved over here in Dec'12 & started looking at shipping companies around Sept time, although I didn't actually book anyone until mid Nov. It worked for us. At the end of the day quotes are free & gives you a good idea of the expected cost. They can maybe help you look at the items you don't necessarily need. I used Whites & were more than happy with them. Shipping companies offer real good advise & my advise is plan early, but don't necessarily book until you are ready. Good luck & enjoy the adventure!

StraighttothePoint Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Will it not depend on how long a quote is vaild for? If you get one now would it be vaild for 8 months? May be ask a couple of companies how long their quotes are valid for and base it on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgvchris Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 We had our things collected yesterday and booked them 2 weeks ago. Speaking to the guy that came round they have been given as short notice as a few days to arrange collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
