Default Crown Removals

Hi just had Crown removals out to give me a quote. He reckons about £5000 with insurance to Brisbane in a sole container. Taking roughly 8-12 weeks. He seemed really nice and very professional Has anyone else used Crown? Would they recommend them.

Hi Stacey

It would be a good idea to do a search of the forum sometime ago bad removal firms were given a bit of a name and shame thread not sure who came out on top, but this has been discussed several times in the past

Sorry I can't be anymore help but research, research, research.

That'll be me off for then

We used Crown, and I have recommended them a few times on this forum. Can't praise them highly enough. Excellent service at both ends. We paid approx. 3500 pounds for 20ft sole use to Brisbane

Hi

We used them 10yrs ago when we moved out here, we thought they were very good, no problem at all.

We had Pickfords, PSS, John Masons & Crown quote us - by far Crown were the nicest, most professional and honest of them all! We are using Crown and would not hesitate in a second to rec'd them to anyone & everyone!

We used Crown and would happily recommend them, you can haggle with them sometimes with the Insurance or price.... say its between them and another company they came down a bit for us....every little helps

All the best

I have used Crown 3 times so far (about to use them a 4th to move from Canada to Oz), have found them to be faultless every time.

We used Crown, Midlands to Perth and they were great, no complaints, v. professional and by no means the dearest quote.

Oh but we used someone else for the insurance, they were much cheaper, they were in Merseyside and I think they're called Letton Percival.

Default Re: Crown Removals

We are also using Crown, to go to Melbourne, as I was recommended them by a friend who works in the freight industry. The company Letton Percival came up with a very good quote for insurance of 1.53% of value compared to 2.5 or 3.5 from Crown. Unsure how good the policy is though.

We used Crown to come back to the UK and now we are on our way back we are using them again as they were quick, tidy, polite, professional on both sides of the world.

Thank you for your feed back. The moving consultant Angus Dakin was really polite and friendly and answered all my questions he was here for well over an hour and never rushed through it at all. I like the idea of Crown dealing with all my furniture from packing it here to unpacking it in Oz. It was a Little bit more expensive that what i thought but i will try Letton Percival insurance to see if that will bring it down.

Default Re: Crown Removals

The UK end was fantastic. I can't say the same for Perth though. I have heard the same about other companies too, though.

We had two pieces of broken furniture (by the delivery guys, not in transit) and they took weeks to come back and collect the empty boxes despite daily phone calls. It all got sorted in the end, partly thanks to my posts on here and the help of the national quality manager in Sydeny but the service we got on the ground was awful. They did say they were putting on extra people so maybe they are better now?
