John Mason - highly recommend !!
Just had our shipping delivered through John Mason and wanted to recommend the service we have received. Having received 5 quotes (from all the major players) we chose JM as a result of their willingness to offer loads of free advice upfront and also their willingness to negotiate on price. From the initial appointment, through the price negotiations, to the packing in the UK - their service was friendly and attentive. They use Wridgeways in Brisbane and again the service was fantastic. The office team kept me in constant touch with the container's progress and nothing was too much trouble for them. The container arrived on time and everything was exactly as it was when it left the UK. The lads from Wridgeways were fab, friendly and chirpy even when I kept changing my mind on where the furniture was to go 
We would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again

Doh! the only bloody one we didnt get round, Though i guess its not too late to call them! Pickfords called earlier and changed their minds and said we would definatly fit all our stuff in a 20ft 
They need to make their minds up! Glad your stuff all got there in one piece!

Re: John Mason - highly recommend !!
I would get them in - we chose them on the amount of positive recommendations here! We had a 4 bed detached in the UK and took about three quarters of it - everyone else reckoned we had 950 cubic feet but JM said it was 750 and they were exactly right in the end! Haggle when you get the quotes - that's when you can start to whittle down those that are not interesting on budging on price
Packers were in on 9th and 10th June and the container sailed Tues 15th June. The container arrived at port in Brissy on 22nd July and was delivered to me on 30th July - Very speedy - FAB
