Re: Don't think its a piece of cake!!!
I agree with Mash, you are paying them a fortune after all!
We just kept everything where it was & took out everything that wasn't being packed the day before........then chilled! Just waiting for Kent Removals to tell us when they are delivering. Good luck with it all, Heather :) :cool: :) |
Re: Don't think its a piece of cake!!!
Nice boys at Kent, can't put a metal bunk bed together for their life.
I gave them the instructions and it might aswell be in Urdu for all they cared! It's still together, but I have several screws left over! We are waiting for the rest of our stuff due in Port this weekend (at last!!) Mash :) B Originally posted by HeatherS I agree with Mash, you are paying them a fortune after all!

Mash :) B Did the container get into port on the day they originally said & how long was it in the depot? Can't wait to sleep in a proper bed! We've got 5 air beds on the floor & camping chairs from Bunnings, the novelty is fast wearing off now!! Heather |
Have to admit I waded in to help the 2 guys moving my pile of boxes out to the van, cos I felt guilty sitting there watching them! The shipping company had sent a bloke and his daughter, who couldn't have been more than 17, and I just couldn't sit and watch her moving my stuff while I sat in the middle of the chaos.
:rolleyes: |
well we spent the weekend chucking stuff out and sorting rooms into whats staying and whats going ready for pss to arrive this morning, they have packed and wrapped everything in sight, even a dresser in my dining room thats not supposed to be going, i'm glad we sorted the stuff out and at least have a couple of rooms which are still usable and where i can shove important stuff that isnt going in the cotainer, this having the movers do everything for you would be fab if everythin g was going but it gets complicated when half your stuff is staying.
Roll on tomorrow to see if everything fits in the container:scared: Lynn |
Yafm, did PSS tell you to put alike stuff together? I am going off of them now! I won't be doing this as I will still be at work when they come so I wont have the time.
Hope it all goes well for you. When are the packers coming? |
It's a shame that Icant ask that woman from the BBC to come round and chuck all of my belongings on the front lawn and chew all the junk up in her giant incinerator!

Re: Don't think its a piece of cake!!!
Heather,
Unfortunately when push came to shove 5 items didn't fit in the 20' even though we scaled down what we were taking. Unfortunately they didn't tell us it was a tight fit until the last thing, so the 5 items left weren't what we would have prioritised as last . So we've had to put them in a part container which has taken 3 months to fill up enough to send on. We've now heard it's delayed a week in port, so not too happy at the moment. The main shipment was on time to the minute and ran incredibly smoothly, so I think it's just unlucky. It's nice when stuff gets here... Mash :) Originally posted by HeatherS Hi Mash, why didn't all your stuff arrive at the same time?? Did the container get into port on the day they originally said & how long was it in the depot? Can't wait to sleep in a proper bed! We've got 5 air beds on the floor & camping chairs from Bunnings, the novelty is fast wearing off now!! Heather |
