Crown Quote!!!
We have just been given a quote by Crown for removals 650 cubic feet £3700 :scared: 20ft groupage.
We had a quote last year 610 cubic feet £2500. Don't know what to do now shall I start getting other quotes again? or shall I just bite the bullet?
Love

Dont know what is going on with Crown these days-we are going to Perth in September and just got a quote for sole use container-650 cubic feet for £3641. I know they get really good reports on BE but they do seem to have gotten quite expensive recently.

We ended up with PSS - couldn't fault them (apart from the Kent guys at this end who weren't too keen on unpacking the boxes - which a phone call to the depot quickly sorted out!). By the way, PSS didn't come to the house - they did the quote based on the size that the others estimated when they came round.
