Default Crown Removals

Looking at getting our shipping sorted soon and Crown seem to look favourable. The quotes we have had back from about 6 companies have been vast and they all offer different things. Very confusing.

We live in Rochdale, so was wondering how people have gone on, that lived in the area(ish) to give us their experiences of the company too.

Hi there, we had a quote from them a couple of weeks ago and although they were more expensive than one of their competitors, they agreed to lower their price We are going to use them because from the beginning they looked a lot more professional, supplying us with a large brochure full of information and it is also because they have an office in Brisbane. Good luck.

Hi we went with Crown for the same reasons. Agreeable to negotiate on price, professional and really seemed to know his stuff. Office is just round the corner from where we live. Also yeah office in Brisbane. We get packed in a few weeks so will let you know.

Cheers everyone - we agree with some of the comments listed above already, they have come across well. Including a full breakdown of terms and conditions and other information.

We are also considering Migrate Global, but dont know too much about them to be honest.

We will be interested in how it goes for you all. x

HIYA Cath and Paul,
Dave and Kath here, we had Crown round, quote was VERY expensive, told them we had a better quote from Anglo Pacific, Crown said they made a mistake in our quote, they quoted us in US$ instead of AU$. I could smell the Bulls**t over the phone!!!!!!!!!

Why not give Anglo a bell??

Well we have had all our stuff taken away now. By Crown. I thought they were very proffesional, good humoured, very helpful and knowledgeable with my questions. The two days they were here went really smoothly, completely stress free. They made the move very easy and went out of their way to cause us as minimum disruption as possible. The team that were here were brill and I cannot praise them enough. Not sure about the other end, our stuff set's sail on weds.

Hi Cath, we had excess baggage round £3.900, Doree Bonner £3.900 just waitin for PSS and White and Co to get back.

Just a thought would it be of interest to anyone going to the Lanky meet to see these quotes and how they are presented?

Lol xx

PS will post in Lanky meet.
