Container costs and removals
I have got John Masons and Doree Bonner coming round next week to give me quotes.I am hoping we might only need a 20ft container if so any idea of the cost?
So far I am not impressed by J Mason's customer service. A right moany trout on the phone who asked me when we were leaving I said I didn't know and she then asked if I had the visas. What difference does it make ?
They also sent a very brief letter which has all of their contract clauses on the back.
Doree Bonner so far so good. I will let you know the prices after they have been round.
Any others that people can recommend ?We live in Greater London and are going to Brisbane.

Re: Container costs and removals
Hi Tina
Dorree Bonner are slightly dear at £3122 but cheaper than Pickfords at £3755 but I've had 6 companies round so far and Dorree's knowledge, attitude and personal service is streets ahead of the rest. I think its worth a couple of hundred quid knowing your stuff is in safe hands.
PSS are cheap if you are on a budget (£2739)
Regards
Terry

It all depends on the mix of different types of items you have. Doree quoted me 2.8% of the value of the goods for insurance
Thanks

Had them all round and on price and professionalism it is still - for me - a choice between Bishops Move and PSS
One just under 3,000 and one just over with close insuranance percent costs and their insurance covers damp mold and electrical malfunction - so many don't
